Project Per the direction set at our Goa�.s and Objective session of January 30th. I have been working with Dakota Count staff on the above projects. Dean Johnson and I have been meeting with Lou Briemhurst and his staff and have met twice with Gus Donhowe, Vice Presiclent of Fi.nance and Physical Planning £or the University. The direction that we have taken in this process to date is; UNIV�RSITY OF MINNESOTA 1 ) The University of Minnesota has indicated that they are considering the sale of part or all of their holdings which are referred to as the "University of Minnesota Rosemount Research Center". 2) `Phe City wishes to acquire the eleven hundred acres from the University which comprises most of the Rosemount Research property narth o� 160th �treet, east of Akron AvPnue. 3) The University acquired the property free of charge from the federal government. 4) The University has had environmental problems on the site and is i.n the grocess of cleaning those problems up. 5) Because of the problerns that the Unive'rsi.ty has experienced and the remnants of the Gopher Ordinance Plant left behind a large portion of the property has become a liability rather than an asset ta the University. The remnants of the ordinance plant require substantial upkeep fox minimal use by private renters. 6) The City would acquire the eleven hundred acres at no cost and would assume no liability for the environmental cleanup of the property. 7) The eity would place the �roperty in a �ax increment district to begin development of �he property and would pledge a portion of the tax increment for future environmental cleanup problems. A very preliminary draft of this concept was presented to Gus Donhowe and he responded with the following concept; 1 ) The University needs to get "something" out of this deal and if the �.and �.s nvt worth anything we' 11 have to find some other way of providing the University with something they need. 2) The University has three coa]. fired heating plants on their Minneapolis campus. The University presently takes the fly ash from those plants to a land fill in Anoka County. That land£ill will run out of capaeity in 1994. They woulci like to site a coal ash landfill on their property in Rosemount. (without advising us Mr. Donhowe issued the attached letter after our second meeting regarding the siting process for this landfill) . At our meeting Mr. Donhowe indicatec� wliat we could "give �hem" would be to have Dakota County and .the City of Rosemount work with The Un�.versi,ty to site such a landfill. This "availability" will be a big issue for the University in the near future. 3) Mr ponhowe also indicated that the idea of condemnatton should be looked into for two reasons; a�The University may decide that they don' t want to sell and b) the process may not fit the time line of the City and County so condemnatian prQceeding may be necessary to speed things up. USPCI Following this meeting I took the liberty of contacting Mr. Ken Jackson, Vice President of USPCI, and discussed the iaea of that company doing the following: 1 ) Moving their proposed Non Hazardous Solid Waste Containment Facility to the University of Minnesota property. 2) Constructing a landfill(separate from their other) on the Univezsity property to take the coal ash from the University. 3) Gonstruct an ash pelletization plant on the University property to pracess the Dakota County Resource Recovery plant ash if the pelletizat.ion process meets with environmental approvals. 4) Construct an ash monofill for the ash residual on the University property. Mr, Jackson was quite interested in this concept and is willing to discuss it in more detail if it is eonsidered feasible by the city and county. DAKOTA COUNTY The relationship bPtwePn the city and Dakota Coun�y in this project was seen as follows: 1 ) The city would ��cquire the eleven hunc�red acres. 2 2) The county is considering a portion of the site to locate their incinerator on. 3) The county will have other site needs if it wauld locate additional waste management facilities there such as the pelletization plant, a materials recovery facility, a permanent compost facility and an ash monofill. 4) The county would pay a negotiated price for the property they would need. This infusion of dollars would provide managem�nt and maintenance funds to the city in its efforts to manage the property and begin development efforts. 5) The location of the waste management facilities on the property would bring "host community" fees and hopefully other, private sector proiects infusing dollars and jobs into the community. 6) The county needed the city to acquire this site. The city was seen as a key player here. �t our meeting, wi�h the county on April 5th the county provided a dif.ferent twist to the concept. They indicated that their legal department advice is that the County has condemnation ability to acquire the necessary praperty ta site their facilities. They also indicated that due to the time constraints put on them hy the project scl�edule �hat they intend to utilize those capat�ilities. They wanted to know how we wanted to proceed. My suggestion was that we should go back to the University aclvise them of this latest information, tell �hem the county will proeeed, that the city still wishes �o acquire th� remaining one thousanci acres, to discuss the ash landfill and to proceed with discussions on transfer of property. This latest twist allows the county to proceed without the city' � direct involvement although I believe the county still understands the absolute need for our support for the siting and all future issues relating to this pro�ect. I believe it is imperative for us to reach consensus on this concept, discuss our relationship with the county, the concept of a "waste management campus" for the University site and what our direction should be. I am providing this information as an update and as preparation for our work session an April 14th. Please consider the sensittve nature of this information and please call me with yoizr questions and comments on this mattez. 3 � I � UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA ott�ce ot the sen�or v�ce Pres+dent � � tor Finance and Operalbns R E C E [V�D TWIN CITIES ( 301 Morriit Hali � 100 Church Street S.E.

Experiment Station Gen t 1 emen: The University Physical Plant Department has expressed to me their concern about the disposal of coal ash from the heating plants on the Minneapolis and St. Paul Campuses. Currently, the Unlversity disposes of this ash at a landfill in Anoka County. This landfill is scheduled to be closed January, 1994. While there are now other landfills that may be available for disposal of the ash, future availability is not certain. Since it appears that landfill space will continue to decrease in the vicinity of Minneapolis dnd St. Paul, it is important that the University investigates this concern before it becomes acute. We need to investigate all options f or disposal of the ash, sinee the continued operation of the heating plants depends on the proper disposal of this material. One possible option is the operation �of a landfill for coal ash at the University Rosemount site. We feel that it is import�nt to keep you informed of any potential plans we have for this site, since probiems have occurred with disposal of waste materials at this site in the past. Our intent, at this time, is to perform a feasibility study on the construction of a landfill for coal ash at the University Rosemount site. To perform this •stidy, we wi 11 be hiring an environmental consultant to perform the necessary environmental assessment studies of this site. If thes� studies indicate that the site has potential , we will proceed with preliminary engineering design and economic analysis. These studies will be available for your review. ' � Vernon Napper, et. al. Page 2 , March 26, 1990 The studies will be managed by the Pfiysical Plant Oepartment with assistance from the Physical Planning Department and the Environmental F�ealth and Safety Department.

NISTORY/BACKGROUND/INTRO Issue of Solid Waste in General A. County and City Staff involvement in recent times goes back to 198p on siting of landfills as required by the 19�3Q Waste Management Act. 1. Rosemount originally had three landfill search areas out of 2U in the entire County. 2. The list was narrowed to seven; two stiil located in Rosemount 3. The process was Mighly charged and emotional . The NIMBY syndrome was appalling. 4. Rosemount was the only city that took the hanorable position that landfills were everyone's problem and the City had an obligation� to respect the process and deal with the problem --- not avoid it. 5�. The law required each of the seven counties tv identify at least four sites that could be certified by Met Council as suitable for sanitary iandfills. 6. Rosemount ended up with two of three certified in Dakota County; one in Pine Bend, one on the U of M property. B. The need for a "Land is osal Abatement Plan." required by the WMA, was initiated by the County in a study in 1982 =_=> Methods Identified: * Waste Reduction * Waste Separation * Waste Processing * Resource Recovery 1. Due to the County's mandatory role in Solid Waste and the City's distinctipn as a probable waste designation center, interest in recycling and ather waste m�nagement alternatives was a mutual concern. 2. In the spring of 1984, the City and County began researeh fior a pilot recycting program in Rosemount. a. An RFP was distributed in November� 1984. b. A single bid was received in January, 1985. c. A number of c i rcumstances 1 ed to the rea ect i on of the sole bid, including the City's participation in the discussions with NSP for a resaurce recovery facility as an alternative to Land Disposal 3. the negotiations with NSP in 1985 and subseq�aent negotiations with Westinghouse and PLM reflected the increasing pressure to seek mandated alternatives to landfilling. 4. 7he City was very much involved in the latter proposal � as infarmal siting leaned toward a Rosemaunt location for an RDF facility. 5. The City's interest in recycling and waste processing, as well as its disinterest in landfilling, complimented the County's pursuit of the RbF project. 2 6. When the commitments from Westinghouse disappeared and the tax laws changed, the negotiations on the RDF faciTity collapsed. 7. The County essentially started the process for resource recovery over with a formal RFP, formal siting process and now the selection of Combustion Engineering as the vendor to construct a mass burn facility. � II. PRESENT ISSUES - PERSPECTIVE A. The past sumnary see�s tv �ake the pracess appear to have been simple and very calculated --- but the staff involved over the years and, perhaps, some of the County Board members, know differently. - 1. The time involvement leading to the present solid waste management strategy has been extraordinary. No one knows this better than the County. 2. Yet the City's involvement has also been extraordinary--- dating back to the early, emotional days of landfill siting, efforts to kick off recycling in nakota County, and recent years as the sole community involved in resource recovery. B. The "New" City Council does not have the advantage of witnessing the years of activity in this area, other than reading or listening to a summary, such as was just presented. 1. All decisions regarding the type of tacility and the siting of the facility occurred prior to the inductton af the majority of the present City Council . 2. A single presentation on the resource recovery project has ' been made before the present City Council � which was an update by the County at a special meeting in January. 3 3. Almost all of the general information we h�ve received on resource recovery faciTities, whether from city staff ar county staff� suggests that the number one issue is siting and the host co�unity� which brings us up to date and the purpose of this joint meeting of the County Board and City Council . III. THE NEXT STEP - HOSt C(�MUNITY A. Because of the amount of ti�e that has lapsed leading to the selection of a vehdor� the amount of time that the City af Rosemount has been invo�ved in the process and the overwhelming pressure for the County to kee� on schedule with solid waste management, some critical issues and steps in the process seem to have fa�len through the cracks. 1. We have attempted to evaluate the status of the project and identify the concerns that face the City at this criticat juncture. 2. The City Council has not acted formaily on the County's resource recovery project. 3. There has been no application or proposal to actually take any action vn. 4. There have been no discussions between the Cvunty Board and the City Council regarding impacts or benefits of the facility. 5. In short, we feel the good relationship the City and County have always had, coupled with a unique and very complicated project and process, have perhaps allowed us to overlook some serious issues --- issues that need resolution befare the City should be expected to act in any formal fashion. 4 B. Role of the Nost Conmunity 1. As the process for pursuing a resource rec�very facility continue$� the involvement of the host community will obviously increase. 2, As we have witnessed the process in Nennepin County, we have seen increasing publicity and mvunting publie concern over incineration. 3. We know that the permitting process becomes more complex with each new proposal , as the agencies involved become more attentive to public opposition. 4. We know, now that the County has awarded a contract to Combustion Engineering� that the lobbying efforts of incineration opponents will be focused on the permitting process of the PCA� and eventualty that of the City of Rosemount. � 5. At this point, we feel the City must be totally aware of the issues at hand, in order to respond� under public pressure, to the details of the County's proposal and the impacts and implications of the public facility. C. Environmental Imp�ct of the Facility 1. Whether real or perceived, there are a number of environmental concerns that the City must deal with and be knowledgeable of, ranging from air quality, truck traffic and noise to composting and ash disposal . 2. We appreciate being involved in many of the meetings with the PCA. 5 r 3. There continue ta be some major unknowns about the project -- we assume this concerns the County as well -- these include which site, if not both sites� will be permitted; what is the actual timing of the permit process for either site; are there significant cost differences in developing one site over the other; what is the status of composting at the resource recovery site; where is the Tong-term disposal of "rejects" gaing to be directed; and where wi11 the incinerator ash be disposed of? 4. The answers to these questions� as well as a general knowledge of the known and perceived risks associated with a mass burn incinerator, must be understood or the City Council will be at the disadvantage of inerely shrugging its shoulders to such public inquiries. 5. Lacking the answers to these questions� and others posed by the unsuspecting public and the professional antagonists� clearly jeopardizes the City's capability of supparting the project with any degree of certainty or responsibility. D. Economic Impact of the Facility 1. Major projects in the City of Rosemount are evaluated on the basis of their economic impact upon the community. 2. This analysis includes review of tfie City's capability and exposure in providing services. 3. It includes an assessment of public reaction and acceptability. 4. It inciudes the evaluation of known and potential risks, both financial and environmental , that are associated with the projecf. 6 5. And finally, it includes an evaluation of the benefits to the community, such as property taxes and employment opportunities, which wilt offset the provision of iocal services and hopefully mitigate any negative impacts. IV. SUM�IARY -- CQUNTY/CITY C(�MITMENtS A, NOST C(NrMUNITY INGENTIVES 1. At this point there have been no serious discussiar�s vn either the negative impacts of the garbage incinerator or the potential benefits to the host co�nunity. 2. The nature of the project is such that tfie negative impacts become known or perceived as a resuit of the publicity and opposition to the incinerator and its implications for risks. 3. The time has come to sit down and summarize the impacts facing the City as thoroughly and quickly as possible. 4. Similarly, it is imperative that discussions on host community incentives begin irt�nediately. 5. Based upon information the City has received from the Coanty and has generated on its own, there is a considerable range of incentives or fees that host communities receive. B. County/City negotiations 1. The City Council formally requests that negotiations begin immediately to determine equitable host community incentives. 2. The City has been accormnodating the needs of the entire County in its participation in the process to date. 7 3. This participation has included considerable staff resources over the years and out of pocket expenses. 4. To make the project work successfully and be pubiicly " acceptable we feel the incentives should be of the highest caliber. i 5. We have definite ideas in this regard that are intended ta be very definite local incentives, yet, prov�de very credible County benefits, as well . C. City Proposals for Nost Incentives The following are general recommendations from the City of Rosemount, which we ask the County Board to support, and identify as the framework for specific negotiations to follow: 1�. The Gounty has suggested in the past that the City may benefit from some spinoff industry, resulting from the resource recovery project; hence� economic development is the overall theme of the City's incentive "package." This obviously benefits the County, as wetl as the City. 2. To assist the City in attracting additional development we ask the County to palitically and financially assist the City in securinq special legislation as a Port Authority. 3. In similar fashion, we seek the County's support and assistance in examining the feasibility far the creation of a municipal utility company� creating additional incentives to attract major industry to the area. 4. We ask that a payment in lieu of property taxes, most likely based on a tonnage fee, be two-tiered in concept: the first being a typical payment in lieu of taxes, basQci on national averages; the second being an economic development fund, which would ultimately be elimir��ted as income from new development is generated. 8 5. We ask that other casts and expenses be recuperated from the County� not unlike reimbursement from the private sector, such as development fees and dedications, out of pocket expenses and assistance with any special needs, such as public safety training and equipment. 6. We are aware of many other incentives that host communities have received in addition to direct payments, such as public utitity improvements, public roadway improvements and public building improvements, and would hope that these are considerations as well . 7. The County has also indicated that a materials recavery facility will be co-located with the incinerator. Consideration should be given for a privately owned �nd operated facility rather than publicly owned. V. CONCLUSION This presentation is intended to outline our interests in the resource recovery project, as weli as our concerns, We have assisted and cooperated with the Caunty since the beginning of this project. We trust our concerns can be addressed adequately and we look forward to seeing the project successfully completed. . We felt it was necessary to utilize a joint meeting such as this to discuss a project of such magnitude for the County and City. While we request no formal action by the Board at this time� we are interested in your reactions to our position, individually and collectively. , It is important for the City to have an understanding of the Board's ideas and direction at this time. Thank you for this opportunity. We welcome your comments. 9 . � Rosemount vvants ` . . 1ncl�erator bonus By Richard Chin �s•� The meeting was held at the� s�ar�w���er , Minneapolis Marriott City Cen- Rosemount officials are pro- tec hotel.

Pve attached some policies and graphics from the Comprehensive Guide Plan, as welL I. URBAN VS. RURAL As the guide plan indicates, eastern Rosemount is in the Rural Service Area. Our policies for development require that businesses be self-supporting from a public utility standpoint. Are utility provisions a possibility -- politically? economically? II. LAND INVENTORY There is a large area already designated in the Guide Plan for industrial e�ansion. Most of this area is zoned Industrial General already. A significant portion of this is undeveloped. Is there a need to e�and the area further? Is there a market for additional development? Do ownership records (i.e., Koch) suggest there is less land to develop than we think? What additional land and where should we consider e�pansions? III. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Pine Bend is currently designated a non-attainment area (air quality). What type of industry is compatible with the current competition for "air space:' A rural water system has been constructed in the area, but sized for development at a one home per ten acre equivalent. Can we encourage development without public water availability? Koch and USPCI have made inquiries into connections to the Rosemount WWTP for "environmental° reasons. Capacity at the plant may be limited to an additional 1,000 single family connections (5 years?). Should we look at public sewer potential from an environmental standpoint, with an outlook for development potential? Is this politically (Metro) and economically (local and Metro) feasible? IV. U OF M VS. PINE BEND DEVELOPMENT Is it feasible to consider two major development concepts, both involving huge land areas and the same urban vs. rural policies? Are they self- competing? Is there a market for both? Would the City over e3rtend itself in attempting to provide services to both? V. OTHER PUBLIC SERVICES Aside from public utilities, all developrnent proposals create impacts of one degree or another on police, fire and public works. Fire protection, in particular, is an issue when we don't have a volunteer firefighter population anywhere near the east end. A remote fire hall is apparently not a solution without volunteers in the proximity. We implemented stringent sprinklering code requuements in response to this. The City has defended them as being cost effective and in the public interest. Will the development community perceive them as cost prohibitive, unless we can provide public water (No. I)? � 1t�UUJ1RIHL LK."iL U.7L lLAiV . rail transportation systems.
