Lynden explained the agreement refers to mediation, however, after reviewing the provision it was his opinion it should be classified as arbitration. The changes made in the arbitration provision are in the first paragraph of Section 13; Lynden explained that by referencing Section 12 (e)(ii)(b) and 12 (e)(ii)(c), those both relate to the deficiency status and Section 12 (g) relates to termination or arbitration due to non-compliance.

Motion carried unanimously. (3-0) STATUS REPORT; RENDERING PLANT Attorney Lynden reported to Council on the rendering plant meeting held 6-17-88. Lynden explained that he was extremely pleased with Charles McGinley, the inspector retained jointly by Arden Hills and New Brighton, and stated a preliminary report Was prepared by McGinley for Council review. He advised McGinley is in the process of preparing a more detailed report based on his inspection of the plant premises last week. Attorney Lynden referred Council to the confidential memorandum of 6-24-88 reviewing the status of the plant and which discusses some strategies Arden Hills may pursue. The Attorney stated that from the preliminary inspection it appears the machinery used for odor control purposes at the plant is not operating effectively. Lynden explained he is comfortable with the strides the City is taking at this time. Lyden reviewed the cost estimate of $19,000.00, submitted by Mr. McGinley, which ~ covers the following items: $5,500.00 for McGinley's services with respect to permit applications. 3,000.00 for compliance monitoring. 4,000.00 for hot-line and training inspector. 5,000.00 for helping the two Cities develop ordinances. 2,000.00 for land use planning assistance. The Attorney suggested it would be in order for Council to consider payment of half the cost estimate amount to retain McGinley. There was discussion relative to expediency of resolution of this matter, the extent of Arden Hills staff involvement versus retaining McGinley's services, and the possibility of recouping a portion of the expenditures by increasing the permit fee to COVer the costs. Attorney Lynden stated he would.meet with McGinley to discuss the above cost breakdown, in terms of Arden Hills individual effort, and the extent of McGinley's involvement. Council concurred that the matter could be held until such time as more information relative to the plant inspection and McGinley's involvement was received from Attorney Lynden. .
