One of the most important <br />objectives is to move in or relocate businesses to the Southeast corner of <br />Ramsey. One of the most important issues that the City is going to be <br />dealing with is the Landfill. It will always be a problem, and the City is <br />currently trying to work out a solution as far as ownership goes. There <br />has been a meeting with City of Anoka and County Attorney George Steiner <br />to discuss liability. Another problem is ground water pollution. There is <br />no problem with pollution at this time, but we have to be very careful to <br />protect ourselves against it. Another item discussed at the meeting with <br />the County Attorney was Site P.
