<br />Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br />To Item Number <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council 8.4 <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br /> <br />General BusinessDecember 7, 2015Matt Stevens, Chief WW Operator <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Wastewater Treatment Facility Bio-Solids Land Suzanne Fischer, Director, CODD <br />Lease Agreement <br />Reviewed by <br />Cal Portner, City Administrator <br /> <br />Action Requested <br /> <br />Approve, by motion, the Wastewater Treatment Facility Sludge Land Lease Agreement. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br /> <br />th <br />The city has leased 132 acres of tillable land located at 165 Street and Jarvis in Elk River to David <br />Pearson for over 10 years. The city utilizes this property to dispose of sludge material from the <br />wastewater treatment plant, which otherwise would require disposal at a landfill. In turn, Mr. Pearson <br />utilizes the land for agricultural purposes. This arrangement has worked well for both the city and the <br />lessor over the years; however, a current agreement could not be located in city files or in city attorney <br />files. <br /> <br />Therefore, staff requested assistance from the city attorney to draft the attached agreement. The WWTP <br />expansion project includes processes to handle sludge materials on site and this agreement will no longer <br />be needed when the expansion is complete. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br /> <br />N/A <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Agreement <br /> <br /> <br />
