The <br />findings were presented to the four City Councils, at which time agreed to <br />establish a 21 member multi-city task force. The New Brighton Council <br />will appoint 6 members to the task force. <br /> <br />Benke feels the committee has done an excellent job in focusing on the <br />needs of this specific interest group. <br /> <br />Williams is impressed by the collaboration efforts between the four cities. <br /> <br />Task Force applications should be received by the end of August. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Motion by Williams, seconded by Gunderman. to WAIVE THE READING <br />AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR A MULTI <br />JURISDICTIONAL SENIOR CITIZEN CENTER TASK FORCE; AND DEVELOP <br />A PROCESS FOR SELECTION OF THE SIX MEMBERS INCLUDING ASKING <br />THE MEDIA TO PRINT A "CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS" PRESS RELEASE, <br />WITH SELECTION OF THE SIX MEMBERS TO BE MADE AT THE FIRST <br />MEETING IN SEPTEMBER. <br /> <br />5 Ayes ~ 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. <br /> <br />Childs presented an update on the Oak Grove landfill litigation. <br /> <br />The Potentially Responsible Party Group (PRP) identified the City of New <br />Brighton as a PRP with two shares of responsibility at a maximum value of <br />$24,000/per share. Council authorized the City enter into the consent <br />agreement with the PRP group. <br /> <br />The cities of Anoka, Mounds View, Arden Hills and Blaine have decided to <br />not sign the decree. Coon Rapids will sign if their allocation is reduced. <br />Circle Pines will sign upon certain conditions being met, and Anoka has <br />agreed to sign. A recent meeting of the City Managers focused on <br />possible litigation from other landfills on Superfund list, and legislation for <br />the Toxic Cleanup Equity and Acceleration Act (TCEAA). Childs feels <br />whether or not the City signs the decree, the City needs to take a position <br />supporting the TCEAA. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Benke feels the best thing for the City to do is cover its losses from the <br />Oak Grove litigation, and work to change responsibility in future litigation. <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Multi~City Senior <br />Citizen Center <br />Task Force <br />Report 91-171 <br />Resolution 91-080 <br /> <br />Oak Grove landfill <br />Update <br />Report 91-172 <br />
