CONSIDER A/~ENDMENT TO SECTION 170.01 OF THE RAMSEY CITY CODE <br /> ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM ON THE SITING OF LANDFILLS <br /> By: Community Development Director Anne Norris <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At its meeting on April 12, 1988, the City Council introduced an ordinance <br />which would establish a moratorium on the siting of landfills in the City. <br />At its meeting on May 3, 1988, the City Council requested that the Planning <br />Commission conduct a public hearing on the ordinance. <br /> <br />For your information, enclosed is a copy of this ordinance. <br /> <br />The City Council introduced this ordinance in anticipation of the State <br />legislature amending those statutes regarding the landfill siting process. <br />Such legislation was not passed in this year's session. Rowever, City <br />Staff believes that a moratorium on siting landfills in Ramsey should be <br />established to allow for time to determine appropriate criteria and <br />regulations to be adopted for reviewing requests for landfills to be sited <br />in the City. Such regulations would not prevent the siting of Site P, but <br />may be helpful in regulating a landfill that could be placed there or <br />elsewhere in the City. <br /> <br />Ob servat ions: <br /> <br />At the time the City Council requested the Planning Commission to conduct a <br />public hearing on this ordinance, they also requested that the Commission <br />make recommendations relating to the proposed moratorium. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Will be based on your discussion. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />Administrator <br />Attorney <br />Engineer <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />X, Chief of Police <br />X Finance Officer <br /> Public Works Superintendent <br /> Other <br /> <br /> <br />
