I I I Council Meeting Minutes April 12, 1988 In response to Teague's request, Proper will furnish her with pro- perty line information and an aerial photograph of the area. Motion by Williams, seconded by Brandt, to CONTINUE CONSIDERATION OF THE PETITION REGARDING THE NO PARKING BAN ON FIFTH STREET S.W. UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE SUBCOMMITTEE MEETS WITH THE OWNER AND RESI- DENT MANAGER AND BRING A RECOftlt1ENDATION FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION. 3 Ayes - 0 Nayes,Motion Carried As the applicant for Brighton Corporation Park was not in the council chambers at the time, Benke asked that Agenda Items VIII-6 and VIII-7 be considered at this time. Bill Skallerud, with City Attorney's office, distributed and re- vi ewed a 1 etter from the Department of the AI'my (~1ark J. Connor, Litigation Attorney) received by his office today authorizing the city to proceed with the temporary granular activated carbon treatment system at Well #5 and Well #6. Skallerud further indi- cated the Department of Justice has been reviewing the settlement agreement which was reached between the City of New Brighton and the Army and this letter provides the authority to proceed along the lines of the settlement agreement. Skallerud stated he feels comfortable and confident in awarding the bid to the low bidder, Carbon Air Services, Inc. In terms of the temporary G.^.C., Benke aSked for confirmation that the letter authorizes that expenditure and also indicates a further step in the ultimate approval of the agreement; Skallerud so confirmed. Williams asked if the letter indicates approval of the entire agreement; Skallerud stated the letter approves the temporary G.A.C. facility and what we are waiting for from the Department of Justice is their internal settlement memorandum (that the action taken by the Army, in relation to t~c entire settlement agreement, is pursuant to laws). Skallerud interpreted the letter as indi- cating to the city that the entire se~tlement agreement has been authorized by the Department of Justice, although the letter re- fers more specifically to just the temporary G.A.C. Williams stated the first paragraph of the letter could be interpreted as approving the entire settlemellt, with the second paragraph authorizing the carbon treatment; Skallerud believed that would be an accurate interpretation, but there a~e a great number of details to be worked out before the final litigation salvage agreement is fully executed and the city receives funding pursuant to that settlement agreement. Proper reviewed staff report concerning bids for temporary G.A.C. water treatment system and the well work and pump modification, and indicated it would be sixty days before the Army would issue any monies to the city for this temporary system so the city will need to interim fund this project for approximately two months. Proper has discussed the interim funding with Margaret Egan, the city's Finance Director, and such arrangement~ have been made.
