He stated the City Council had a first reacling of an ordinance which provides controls on any possible development of a hazardous waste processing facility in the City.

He stated, other than Minneapolis, there hasn't been any support from the suburban communities.

He stated to Ms. Gubrud that he would send a copy of his correspondence to her.

He stated the doctmient identifies waste in the State and focuses on how the State wants to handle the problem. He stated the final result is the actual disposal of the waste. He stated one section of the docwnent applies to all waste processing facility sites, however, it is a broad contact the State should look at as a plan for disposing of hazardous waste. � ~i� (bL�IL• NL�TIL� OF TAT�?�J1�RV g, 1 gg4 P�E � � � � : 1.
