Regular City Council Meeting Monday, July 25, 2016 Page 21 In the RAP, Councilmember Etten noted it spoke to MPCA testing and approvals (pages 3-4) and what happened with known contaminated soils and how any con- tamination would be addressed. Councilmember Etten asked if there was a pro- cess in place dictated at some level by the MPCA. Specific to Condition 1 recommended by staff and the Planning Commission, Councilmember Laliberte asked if it should be amended to include Ramsey Coun- ty as well; with Mr. Paschke clarifying he was not aware of any county permits needed. At the request of Mayor Roe, City Manager Trudgeon advised he was unsure, but noted sometimes demolition required both city and county approval, and while it may or may not be required in this specific case, since it involved a foundation, he suggested including the county in Condition 1 as a safeguard. Without objection, the maker and seconder of the motion agreed to amend Condi- tion #1 to state; "all government agencies." Since there were several foundations involved, Councilmember Laliberte spoke in support of testing all of them, regardless of when they were poured, since it was unclear of their status without further expert information on when use of asbestos was banned. Councilmember Laliberte stated she'd prefer not to have the lan- guage so precise as proposed in the motion for the year 1970; and asked that the specific year be removed from new Condition #7. Councilmember Willmus stated his opposition to removing that year, opining it would be highly unlikely to find asbestos in concrete poured after 1970, as refer- enced in RCA information. Councilmember Willmus reiterated his preference to test the area of the building built before 1970. Laliberte moved, McGehee secorcded, amendment to the motion that Condition #7 be revised to state "all concrete will be tested, regardless of the date poured," with removal of the specific 1970 date. If that was done, Councilmember Etten suggested the need to specify somehow that testing was done on each separate iteration of the foundation addition sepa- rately. Dan — I'm not sure if that was an actual motion, but I didn't record a vote if so. Councilnaember Etten suggested, Roe seconded arrzendment to Condition #7 to specify that testing be separately done on each foundation addition inde- pendently.
