COMMUNICATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS AS AUTHORIZED BY LAW
Discussion of issues related to Superior Emerald Park Landfill. Slocomb advised now
is the time to consider things specific to the City that can be addressed and any
concerns we might have. It is known now we must submit the approved committee’s
final offer for arbitration by 3:00 p.m. 6/24/99 to the Waste Facility Siting Board.
Therefore, on 6/22/99 that offer will be coming to this Council for its approval and the
issues will be presented at that time. The arbitrator will select one offer or the other if
the final agreement is not approved in the meantime. We are continuing to negotiate
with Emerald Park with respect to the contract and are making headway. The Waste
Facility Siting Board will make the submittals public. The arbitration will occur on July
20, 21 and 22 in the Muskego Room at City Hall. Patterson questioned the apparent
restrictions in the draft as to what the City can use the funds for. Slocomb responded

the revenues from the landfill can be used for capital items, with the benefit derived to
be for the long term which will impact the total community. Mayor agreed the revenue
should not be used to offset the tax rate now because when it’s gone it’s gone. Atty.
Molter expressed concern that this Council would be asked to limit future Councils on
these matters, but noted amendments have been made and his concerns have been
lessened.
Closed session No. 3 not required.
Slocomb moved to adjourn at 10:20 p.m. Sanders seconded; motion carried.
Respectfully submitted,
