<br />. Arden Hills Council 5 February 8, 1993 <br /> ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR <br /> UNDERGROUND TANK REMOVAL <br /> Accountant Post reported that in November 1992, Council <br /> approved a quote to remove an underground fuel tank, and at <br /> that time, the City was aware that there may be additional <br /> costs should there be contamination concerns related to the <br /> removal of the tank. <br /> Post explained that the tank and surrounding soils were <br /> physically removed during December 1992 and January 1993. <br /> It now appears that additional costs will be incurred for <br /> soil remediation, related engineering and reporting costs, <br /> and Council is being asked to approve that expenditure. He <br /> advised that a portion of these costs are eligible for a <br /> Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's "petrofund" refund. <br /> Councilmember Hicks asked what portion of costs are eligible <br /> for refund. Post advised that his understanding is that 90% <br /> of all contaminated soil remediation costs (excl uding tank <br /> removal costs) are eligible for refund. Post added that <br /> there is some final analysis work which needs to be <br />. accomplished, which could possibly result in even more cost, <br /> but at this point it is anticipated that $19,400 will be <br /> adequate to complete all contaminated soil work expected. <br /> MOTION: Hicks moved, seconded by Malone, to authorize the <br /> expenditure of $19,400 for costs related to the <br /> remediation of contaminated soils, upon receipt of <br /> documentation that no additional remedial work is <br /> required, and direct the contractor's engineering firm <br /> to submit documentation for reimbursement to the <br /> Minnesota pollution Control Agency. Motion carried <br /> unanimously (4-0). <br /> COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> Councilmember Hicks advised that he will be absent from the <br /> February 22, 1993 Council meeting. <br /> 1993 PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT <br /> Councilmember Malone referred to recent news that the City <br /> will have $50,000 in MSA funds which were unexpected, and a <br /> memorandum from Public Works Superintendent Winkel reporting <br /> that there are more street improvement needs than earlier <br /> identified. He suggested Council consider expanding the <br /> 1993 Pavement Management Program to include more streets. <br />. Public Works Superintendent Winkel stated that he has talked <br /> to the City Engineer about this issue. He added that he was <br /> notified only last week of the unexpected MSA funds. <br />
