MINUTES
REGULAR MEETING - MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL
February 28, 1983 - 7:30 P. M.
Members Present: Arve Grimsmo, Jack Maxwell, Nen Maus, Dan
Blonigen.
Members A Dscnt: Fran Fair.
1. Approval of the Minutes.
A motion was made by Maxwell, seconded by Blonigen and unani-
mously carried to approve the minutes of the regular meeting
held February 14, 1983, and the special meeting held on
February 15th, 1983, as presented.
2. Citizen's Comments/Petitions, Requests, and Complaints.
Mr. Don Smith, editor and publisher of the Monticello Times,
expressed concern over the Council's intention to publish a
summary of the minutes of each Council meeting rather than
the entire context of the official minutes. Mr. Smith felt
L; L L.Ln i:umL aaviuys iuvv1va3 ur aVpiuximaLvly 61,2oO
annually would do a dis-service to the public in that they
-< would not have the complete text available to read in the
paper as in the past.
Aftor weighing the cost savings from publication versus the
extra man hours involved in preparing a summary for publica-
tion, it was the consensus of the Council to continue to
publish the entire context of the minutes.
Ma, Peggy Stencol inquired whether the City of Monticello had
considered the possibility of hiring its own assessor rather
than continua to have the County do the assessing. no. 6tencel
Indicated that she presently, on a part time basis, does assess-
ing for Silver Crack Township and she will become a certified
assessor in the near future and would be interested in working
for the City of Monticello if the Council should decide to
hire its own auseasor. The Council noted that it would con-
sider this possibility in the near future.
4. Consideration of Renegotiatinh Garbavo Refuse Contract.
Recently, the City Staff has been discussing possible rene-
gotiation of the existing garbage contract with the present
hauler, Al Corrow. Mr. Corrow, has indicated a desire to
extend the contract, if possible,due to major purchases of
syuipsmant that he is anticipating.
CouncfI'Minutes =-2/28%83
An agreement in priocip t had-4.6en reached with'Ar. Corrov
regarding a possible extension .for an additional three years,
resulting in a m avaragc increase of approximately 38i over_
the olid contract rate. The contract which is tentatively
scheduled to expire August 1, 1983, would-be extended until
August 1, 1986.
since some of the Council members felt that renegotiatingthe pro -
sent contract might result In a loss of compatitivenees, a
motion was made by Maus, seconded by Blonigen and unani-
mously carried to continue with the present contract for
garingc service as is and authorize the City Miministrator
to advertise for bids for the contract which is expected to
expire August 1, 1983,with bids receivable within the next
60 .lay:: (May 1, 1983).
S. Cuusideratiun of change Order 088 and 189 with the Paul A.
lourence Company on Wastewater Treatment Plant Construction "

A motion was made by Maus, seconded by Maxwell end unani-
measly carried to approve change order 188 for an addi
tional cost -of $1,150 for, a change :in theoauotion line on
the influent sampler and change^order 089 for a flood

Consalting_Myincer, John Badulich,.requested conoiderdtion
of an additional $1,186 in engineering fees over the normal
75i foo,tho•ongineor receives on tlw cost of the project.
Mr.. Bndal'ieh explained that duo to the additional prol=lminary
plane and [ho additional alternatives that were presented ro-
garding,tho road alignment and tiha differont typo of retain-
ing walls specified, tHor cost incurred by the engineer wae�
opproximately doubled over normal engineering foes for this

vizu.of a project. Mr. Oarlallch noted that the coot over
run for his firm was over 54,000 above the 7S% fee, but ra
yuosted thnt an additional $1,188 be approved.
Although sumo Council members. felt tlw City should have Leon
informed earlier that an over run might occur, the Public
Works Oiractor agreed that extra coats were incurred by the
engineer duo to the numerous altornativun presented. As n
result, a motion was made by Maus, soeunded by Maxwell to
approve the additional request of 51,188 for the basic
engineering foes regarding tlw 7th Street improvement pro-
joct. voting in favor wore Maus. Maxwell, and Crlmsmo.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
4. Public Improvement Rearinq - Meadow Oak (Continued). (TE).
Oh yes, Meadow Oak again. This is the continuation of the public
hearing that was begun in September of 1982. This is the meeting
when the public hearing should be totally concluded and formally
closed. There are, however, a few additions that should be con-
sidered during the hearing process rather than during the suc-
ceeding items of business. The developers have requested that
part of the project they originally intended to do under a private
contract now be assumed under the City contract. The added por-
tions would be to extend water main to the lift station from
where we had originally planned to discontinue work, to install
sanitary sewer from the lift station down to the man hole at the
beginning of their manufactured housing plat, construct the park-
ing lot that is located next to the lift station, and do the
street and storm sewer construction from the beginning of the
manufactured housing plat to Hwy 152. In addition, Mr. Boyle,
concerning that part of the property that lice between Oakwood
TndustriAl PArk And the MendOW Oak Suhdivision has requested that
the hydrants and leads be deleted so that that land may continue
to be farmed. If the figures estimated by the developers and in-
cluded herewith are considered oven close to accurate, the
increase on the City portion of the project is about $36,000.
I should state that the developers fully intend that this is
assessable works they are not asking that it be City costs, but
only that it be incorporated as part of the City construction
and then assessed back to the project. I talked with Rick W.
and John S. about these proposals in our agenda meeting and
we all agreed that in light of the petition to reassess the 78
project and the delinquencies on certain other projects, we per-
haps should be leery in increasing this project size. Simply put,
we are already putting many dollars out there based on the prin-
cipal of recapturing through assessments. If those assessments
become delinquent, we have a tough time paying our bonds. Liens
upon land and interest and penalty on delinquent payments aro
virtually meaningless to our cash flow situation. My concern
harp is, however, that we not make judgements against now developers
based upon the Poor performance of old developers. We agree we have
had a bad experience with delinquencies with respect to a few dovol-
opera involved in large speculative projects. Is it fair, though,
to than say that those now speculative developers will not pay their
assessments? Cash flow is a logitmato concern from our perspective.
So is promoting growth and development.
-i-
V_
Council Agenda - 3/14/83
Regarding the overall construction project, both City and private,
the private developer is projecting picking up of a share of 28%.
This easily accommodates the 251 contribution on the developers
side. We, of course, have the alternative of asking for a 1001
of the money up front, but part of the devolopment incentive is
that certain expenses, major expenses, can be assessed making it
easier to pay construction costs. I think it is important to note
that neither John, nor Rick, nor I are recommending that the
project not be done or even that a greater sum of money be paid in
front, but rather we wanted you to be alert to the fact that we
are faced with delinquencies on speculative projects and your
decision should take this into consideration. Rick suggested to
me that one alternative might be to get an assigned letter of
credit for the first assessment that would be payable on the
non -platted areas. This, of course, would have to come from
Boyle and would guarantee payment for at least the first year.
Regarding that matter, I guess I am still uncomfortable initiat-
ing any special action against the developer lacking a formal
written policy which will be applied across the board to all
developers.
In my conversations with the developers, and it is noted in one
of the retorencos, we have leen operating under the assumption
that the Council has fully agreed to granting a one year only
deferment for the assessment for that water line that is crossing
the open space between Oakwood and Meadow Oak. Your conversations
with the developer at an earlier meeting stressed that you would
not grant a deferment for a longer period of time. but since you
had set the precedent for a one year deferment in a different
project, you could see no difficulty with granting a similar one
year deferment for this project. If your position has changed on
this matter, I suggest that be stated clearly during the public
hearing process.
Finally, with respect to the land title, the closing was completed
on Friday, March 4, 1983. I have attached as a reference a letter
from Jim Metcalf stating that he and the party he represents no
longer have any interest whatsoever in the land in question or the
improvements. An a result of that closing, we oleo have in hand
all of the signed casements and as of this writing aro being ro-
viewed by Gary Pringle as to form and content. Having boon ro-
viewed by Metcalf, I suspect that everything in in order. Mopa-
fully, I will have Gary's response before Monday.

Council Agenda - 3/14/83
5. Consideration of Meadow Oak Final Plat. (TE)
Prior to authorizing any improvements to be made, the plat will have
to be approved and come into existence. You are actually being
addressed with three plats:
1. The plat from open space into 16 outlots.
2. Outlot B replatted into Meadow Oak Estates.
3. Outlot F being replotting into Meadow Oak 2nd Addition.
Included in the reference information are two outlines that, as far,
as I can tell, address all of the concerns that have been raised up
to this point. As you recall, the Planning Commission has already
moved to recommend approval of the final plate. If the plats are
approved, they would request that the actual signings are executed
right during the meeting so that they may be recorded on Tuesday.
Rick is currently assembling the figures for all preliminary work
that has boon done by consultants, the sum of which is expected to
be paid prior to the approval of the plat. That amount is $6,500.
Sometime before Monday, we will be contacting them to let them
know they should be bringing a check in that amount in order to got
the plat signed. If, for 9-re reason, they 90 not hying the check
by the Monday meeting, you may still approve the plat with the dir—
ection that the Mayor not sign the final until the check is submit ted
to the city treasury.

Project 82-2 - Proposed Changes
96535
Dear Mr. Eidem:
Dick Knutson and Jim Boyle met with John Badalich of OSM on Monday, Februa-
ry 28, 1983 regarding the City Improvement Project 82-2. They discussed the
need for the hydrants and leads proposed to be installed over the proposed in-
dustrial and commercial property which Jim Boyle owns. Since Jim Boyle intends
to continue to farm this Sand, he respectfully requests that the City consider
deleting all the hydrants and leads over the property outside the proposed Mea-
dow Oak residential subdivision. This would save money currently and allow
farming to continue.
Dick Knutson also talked to John Badalich today regarding an addition to
the City project. The addition would be the watermain from where it ends in
Meadow Oak Estates down the easement in Phases II and III of the Manufactured
tome lots along Red Oak Lane and up Meadow Oak Drive to the lift station. This
Is shown on the enclosed drawing. This would tie the City project together
between the water Main and the Lift Station. we would still do the grading,
other utilities and streets in the Manufactured Home Area under this plan.
After additional review of the plans and specs for both the City project
and our project, we are proposing an alternative. Due to the lift station
construction, parking lot, entrance, etc., all being in the same area, a
logical division of responsibility for the construction would be to add certain
construction to the City project.
Qf)
7641 Dallas Lane . liflo G it,vQ. :011, 553G9
I . LOOP the watermain to the lift station as discussed above.
2. Install sanitary sewer from the lift station to the manhole centerline
of Red Oak Lane.
3. Parking lot located on the park land.
4. Street construction and storm sewer from the North right-of-way of Red
Oak Lane to Highway No. 152 including the entrance.
Based on the possibility of two different contractors doing the City pro-
ject and our project, the above work should be added to the City project to a-
void dual responsibilities. Having two contractors trying to work in the same
location at the same time and attempting to determine who would be responsible
for road performance guaranty, could cause some problems. we therefore propose
the above changes.
If we delete some items referred to in paragraph one and add the items re-
ferred to in paragraph three (which supersedes paragraph two) the net addition
to the City Project should be less than 10%. Also the amount still being in-
stalled privately by us would be approximately 28% of the total project.
Thank you for you continued cooperation.

Subject: allocation of Public Improvement Project 82-2
Dear Mr. Eiden:
Dick Knutson and Jim Boyle met with John Badalich of OSM on Monday February
28, 1983. They discussed the allocation of the Public Improvement Project af-
fecting Meadow Oak and Jim Boyle. It appears that there will be benefit to the
following:
1. The 33 executive lots in Phase I.
2. The remaining 43 executive lots.
3. The chtire project ,^p ^x! tc!, `CC units).
4. That land outside Meadow Oak.
we request that this allocation be reviewed and something similar would be
used to allocate the costs. Enclosed is a copy of the proposed allocation.
The other column represents the assessment to Jim Boyle's other property and
the cost of the oversizing of the water line which would be paid for by the
City.
Please review this and let us know if this appears to be reasonable.
Very truly yours,

6. Consideration of a Resolution Orderinq Public Improvements and
Awardinq Contract - Meadow Oak. (TE)
Most of the pertinent data relating to this item has been dis-
cussed in one of the two previous items. If it is determined by
the Council that the changes are to be made according to the re-
quest of the developers and thus the contract and plans and specs
Are adjusted accordingly, there should be a simple motion passed
denoting the change in the scope of the project prior to the
adoption of the resolution. The fact that this alteration in
the scope of the project was addressed under the public hearing
segment of the meeting will make the adjustment completely legal
within M.S. 429. Whatever your decision on the adjustment, this
resolution is the critical one in terms of the ordering of the
improvements awarding the contract and allowing us to initiate
the sale of bonds. We have begun communication with Springsted
to prepare for the bond sale, and are assembling the data that
they require to package a proposal. You will be confronted with
several more resolutions when we got to the actual bond issue
that relates specifically to the issue. This resolution is
doing nothing more than ordering the improvement and awarding
the contract.
ALTUNATIVE ACTION:
1. Adopt a motion ordering an amendment to the contract and
then adopting the resolution.
2. Take no action on the requested changes (thus, lotting
the request die) but still adopt the resolution ordering
the improvement.
3. Take no action on the resolution, thereby postponing all
activity.

mont and awarding the contract.

7. Consideration of Ratification of Revised Contract with OSM,
Consultinq Engineers. (TE)
on Tuesday, March 8th, John Badalieh and I spent several hours
going over the proposed contract for engineering services. Most
of the questions that were raised in the evaluation session were
addressed in addition to a few other points. I think the major
points which would be of interest to each of you as opposed to
simple language changes, are as follows:
Basic fee - For projects $100,000 and under, the City will
be charged an hourly fee but in no case will the fee exceed
11% of the project cost. For projects from $100,000 to
$500,000, the engineer will charge 7.5%. This is the same
fee as the existing contract. For projects $500,000 to
$1,000,000, the fee will be 6.5%. This also is the same
fee as in the existing contract. For projects over $1,000,000,
the fee will be determined based upon the curve which is es-
tablished by professional engineering societies. Essentially,
it translates to $1,000,0001 would go at a rate of 6.220 and
the percentage would decrease according to the increase in the
project.
i
B. We have inserted a phrase that will require the engineer to
request in advance any additional fees due to excossive time
or work required in project development.
C. We have stipulated within the text of the contract that the
"as constructed" plans shall be submitted to the City within
90 days of completion of the project.
We have inserted a clause that states engineer's attendance
at meetings shall be upon request of the City. It is also
undaratood between John and I, although not inserted into
the contract, that agenda review shall only be billed in
the cases where the engineers are directed to prepare, thomr
selves to address a particular issue. If they arc requested
to attend for general information reasons, their review of
the agenda will be considered as part of their own obligation
and will not receive added compensation for said review.
These are the major high light changes in the contract, and moot
other provisions remain the same. There wore some provisions
that each of us had queotions concerning, but because of the
annual renewal date, we, determined that it would be boat to lot
the proviaiono go and should they turn into a problem than prior
to the automatic renewal in the next year, we, can diacucs those
very issues.

8. Consideration of Adoption of a Pre -Treatment Ordinance (Public
Reading (JS) .
The pretreatment ordinance has been revised at the request of
Wrightco Products. This ordinance should have been passed
months ago to comply with EPA and MPCA regulations concerning
our grant moneys.
Changes in the ordinance were primarly in format, definition
and clarity. The object of the review was to keep the intent
of the ordinance, make it as clear as possible, yet soften it
so that it would not deter industry from locating in Monticello.
The review of these changes is being made this week and if any
changes on these changes are necessary, we will discuss them
at the Council meeting.
REFERENCES: Council agenda. of December 13, 1982 regarding
the pretreatment ordinance.
GNOTE, Copies of pro -treatment ordinance are available at
City Hall.

1 4. Sewer Discharqo and Pretreatment Ordinance. (J. 5.)
C
As part of the EPA regulations, the city is required to develop and
enact an ordinance to control sewer discharges and industrial
pretreatment. This regulation requires that the ordinance be
drafted in rough form by the 90% payment level at the WWTP project.
This requirement has been met. The ordinance is then required to
be in final form and enacted into law by the and of the grant
budget period, which is December 31, 1982.
The ordinance would take affect January 1, 1983. The ordinance is
designed to control pollutants which may cause problems with the
WWrP, prohibit pollutants which we cannot treat and finally
improve opportunitiesto reclaim and recycle wastewater and sludges.
The ordinance affects all users, large and small, in that they may
be asked to file periodical discharge reports. The ordinance
requires all industries which are now, or propose to discharge into
our sewer system, to obtain a discharge permit. Existing industrial
users aro expected to apply for a permit within 60 days after this
ordinance is in affect. New users shall apply 180 days prior to
connecting or discharging.
Each permit shall not exceed 5 years in length and shall be re-
applied for 160 days in advance of expiration. The fees are pro-
portional to use and are based on a point system. A typical
industrial user discharging up to 50,000 gallons per day with a ono
point discharge would pay a fee of $300 for the permit which may
run an long as 5 years.
In addition to the above, the ordinance also requires the industrial
user to provide and operate monitoring facilities for each discharge
point. Tho ordinance also imposes civil penalties for users
found violating the ordinance from $100 to $1,000 for each day on
which a violation occurs.
Enclosed in tho agenda is a letter from Charles A. Lopak which also
details the ordinance. A copy of the ordinance is available at
city hall for your review.

10. Consideration of a Proposed Job Description - Zoning Administrator/
Building Official/etc. (TE)
I have prepared a proposed job description to use to fill the va-
cany that we currently have. To begin, I listed all of the various
duties we would wish to have addressed in the City, even those that
might be contracted or might be part time. I then tried to unite
those which would be complementary to one another; I then addressed
projected hours that might be demanded for each segment of a single
position. Then by trimming away those that were the least related
and their accompanying hours required, I arrived at this proposal.
The projected hours on the attached sheet are very rough estimates.
It is extremely difficult to some how divide the hours spent be-
tween planning, zoning and building. These three positions are so
closely related that the time spent on one is very much time spent
on another and makes distinct separation virtually impossible. The
Civil Defense segment of the description is really projected as a
type of fill in. The Civil Defense Program is terribly important
to the City, but at the same time there is considerable assistdnce
from the Fads, the State and the County level. Actual time con-
sumed by a City employee in active Civil Defense tasks is relative-
:, .aroa.ly octaL:icrr
s1Zd a fa*r:, accnd crgcr. c•; an
and a fairlystableCivil Defense system. For any new employee,
the major task would be maintenance and refinement of said programs.
The assessor's position is the klinker. It may be extremely dif-
ficult to find an applicant who is both a certified building
official, which in a State requirement, and a certifiod Minnesota
Aoeeasor, which in also a State requirement. These jobs aro not
hold to be incompatible with one another by State law, so it is
conceivable that one person hold both positions. It simply may
be difficult to find a person with both certifications.
with respect to the II.R.A. executive officer, I see this position
as being complementary since it would land itself to the natural
liaison.with the Planning Commission. 1, myself, would stay vary
active in the H.R.A. since I find that to be a very appealing
sogment of my job. 11owavar, because of the budgetary conflicts
and the conflicts that can arise from making professional judge-
ments from two sides of the fence, I think that a separate in-
dividual would be more effective as the 11.R.A.'s executive
officer. As you will note, the job description stipulates that
the now Parson or the parson who fill this position must work on
all II.R.A. developments with the City Administrator. 1 think
that it would be important that the administrator stay closely
involved whore tax increment financing or other types of innovative
financing is used and that the now position not be granted autonomy
to exercise any of those duties.

Council Minutes - 3/14/83
At the last meeting when I discussed this potential job descrip-
tion, I mentioned that the Business and Industry Committee was
also very interested in looking for a person who could perform
duties on their behalf. I attempted, in the early stages, to
include some of those duties into this position. It simply
did not work out effectively. I think that stretching the duties
into Business and Industry Development and even though they an-
ticipate that being part time, would still create too much of
a demand on the person's time and his/her performance in all
areas would eventually be comprised.
The job description is adopted largely from existing job descrip-
tions as well as the assessor's job description from the City of
St. Cloud. Again, I know that it may be difficult to find an
applicant suited to this type of job description. One possibility
would be to advertise as is or slightly amended and see what kind
of a response we get. Then if we find that candidates and their
abilities are limited, we would have to make an alternate decision.
One final note relating to the assessing. We did not choose to
keep a City assessor back when the Minnesota Statute put in the
Sunset Provision for city ausessment. We can now, however, sub—
nit, n Fn..nHL . :_net �n tti.. of darn of
Minnesota, that we be allowed to reinstitute a City asseasor'n
position. We would have to be granted approval by the Commissioner
of Revenue. Also, with respect to the City assessing position, we
anticipate paying nearly $11,000 to the County for them to perform
our assessing for us. If you view the above job description as
worth being anywhere from $22,000 to $24,000, the $11,000 currently
attributed to the County for assessing could be attributed to this
position and as a result, we would be getting all of the other
duties (Zoning, Building, Civil Defense, N.R.A., and Planning) for
$11,000 to $13,000 plus benefits. This would mean a substantial
savings to the City if, in fact, we can find a qualified applicanL.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION: Adopt the proposed job description and authorize
an advertisement for applicants.
2. Reject the job doscription with direction to re -define the
position.
REFEREI.CES: A copy of the proposed job doscription.
RELATED NOTE: Up to this point, we have been using the building
official from the City of Elk River to got us through those tine.
Because spring is rapidly approaching and construction starts aro
anticipated to be up, he has indicated that hie time is axtramo ly
limited and would like to be released from his obligation to the
C City of Monticollo in order to devote his full time to the City of
Elk River. That loavoe us with the problem of finding an interim
inspector. In a conversation ono afternoon with Arve, he suggo etod
that we hiro J.W. Miller in the interim or oven possibly as a full
time person to take on this position.

Council Agenda - 3/14/83
Since I do not know Mr. Miller other than by sight, I certainly have
no position on this whatsover and feel that perhaps Arve can ex-
pand more on how he would see this developing. At any rate, what-
ever the decision concerning Mr. Miller turns ont to be, I would
like some direction relative to what to do until the position is
formally filled (whatever position it might finally turn out to
be). Rick Breeze, the Elk River inspector, has introduced us to
another building inspector who would work on a private contracts
in addition, I have had several other people in the area contact
me because they were aware of the vacancy. Again, I would hope
that you can provide me with some direction this coming Monday
so that we may take action quickly and be ready for early spring
construction starts.

MEMO
TO; Arve A. Grimsmo, Mayor, and Council Members, Fran Fair,
Dan Blonigen, Jack Maxwell, Ken Maus.
FROM: Tom Eidem, City Administrator
DATE: March 24, 1983
As a result of conversations with Roger Mack, who serves as our Park
Superintendent, we have formulated and convened the first meeting of
a Park Board. As I explained to the members at the first meeting,
the' Park Board is really considered to be an administrative com-
mission established by my office as opposed to a formal Park Board
that has been created by ordinance. I noted to the members that
they were to serve primarily as an advisory commission to me and
indirectly then to the Council. I noted further that they have no
budget, they have no power, they have no salary, they really have
no official capacity, but rather a voluntary commission. Depending
upon the success of the operations and how involved the persons be-
come with park and recreation development and whether or not they
become a genuine contributing factor to park development will have to
no decided based upon their pertormance. it it appears that tney
�. arc a valuablo resource to the City, I may at sometime in the future
propose to the Council an ordinance officially creating a park board
for the City of Monticello. I mainly wanted to advise you of the
existence of this body so that if people should question you about
the park board, you will not be totally surprised. The present
members of the commission are Ron White, Diane Moores, Audrey
Ellison, Roger Pribyl and Roger Mack.
ONE FINAL NOTE: If anyone of you have ideas or wish to contribute
time into the park commission or park development in general, please
contact Roger or myself with your comments. We are encouraging
as much participation in park development as we can.
MEMO
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Tom Eidem
DATE. March 23, 1983
Al Corrow stopped in to see me today (23rd) and made an additional
offer concerning contract re -negotiation. I had informed him after
the meeting of the last discussion what the results were. He came
in with yet another offer and asked if I would take it to the Council,
and I said I would send it out by memo and not make it a formal agenda
item. I also pointed out to Al that I had explained at length when we
initially discussed the re -negotiation that there was a risk factor
and that the Council simply elected to take the risk of going £ or bids
rather than the risk of signing the re -negotiated contract. He came
in with the price of $4,260.00 per month for the next three ye ars,
no graduated increases (except for added households, of course) . This
is an increase of $500 per month over what we are currently paying.
He also noted that the existing contract would stand exactly as is,
and would 1nr he retr-n�tiv,. to n higher priaA. H> did, hown_ver,
L, request oome kind of assistance in the spring to help with yard
cleaning pickups, and I will be working with John Simols on that
aspect. The Corrow contract is not an agenda item and I am ati.11
putting together the now specifications for us to go to bids. I am
simply presenting this because of Ken's eomnont that if he wanted
to tomo in with still another price, he would always be willing to
Iistan. I told Al that he should not expect a decision on the
March 28th meeting, but that I would at least relay the information
as of that night and that a decision may be forth coming on April 11th.
It should also be noted, and this could be significant, one company has
called and wanted to know if we were bidding our garbage contract this
year. I indicated we anticipated that we would be but that opecs had
not boon prepared. Mainly, I simply wanted to got this information
to you so that you would have an opportunity to think about it and then
perhaps make a decision that might differ from your earlier Jocislon.
