I I -:, \\,; "~ ~ ~ ::ti I ~~ ., ';~ :'t; "'i ::1:; ~ ~: Council Meeting Minutes October 22, 1985 Schmidt knows the city did follow up to the extent there would be tax- payer monies used as a part of the process in cleaning up MacGillis & Gibbs. wanting to know what those dollars would be and to be in a position of havin, a first right to buy or first right to step in and take control of ~e site. Schmidt feels the underlying issue is that a lot of what takes place does not get corrmunicatedback and may not be publicly disseminated. which is a reaction to the negative image in press that has gone on for an extended period,of'time. Schmidt continued that this council and staff members have made direct efforts to try to play down the negative envifonmental concerns. to focus on emphasizing the positive advantages of New Brighton. and has made private contacts with the PCA and others to try to work on reso- lutions in a private way rather than a publ ic way. Feels it important that the citizens know we are trying to work out a resolution in a private way and not necessarily be that public about it. Blomquist suggested a joint meeting of the council and the EQC to review what has happened over the past year on these particular matters. and to determi ne if there are other matters that need to be added; felt the EQC should be invited to the Open Forum meeting in November for this joint meeting. Benke suggested imviting someone from the EPA to provide input at the Open Forum on November 26. 1985.
