City Council Minutes Page 4 <br />December 6, 2021 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br />Mayor Dietz addressed a rumor regarding Livonia, Zimmerman, and the landfill. He <br />met with representatives from the two cities. It was his own opinion that Elk River <br />would not support a “hostile takeover” of property not in Elk River. <br /> <br />Mr. Portner added the city has experience managing and regulating the landfill and <br />could act in this capacity if the landfill should move to Livonia or Zimmerman. The <br />permitting process could take up to four years to complete which coincides with the <br />proposed closure date of the landfill. <br /> <br />The council may want to discuss the issue with Livonia in the future. <br /> <br />10.1 Fund Raising for Law Enforcement Monument <br /> <br />Police Chief Nierenhausen presented the staff report. <br /> <br />The proposed monument funds would be collected accounted for. Names would be <br />collected to present to the council. <br /> <br />Police Chief Nierenhausen stated that a model for the monument child and officer <br />have been selected. The design company would need half of the amount before <br />beginning the monument construction. <br /> <br />Council was in favor of fund raising for the monument as long as the city attorney <br />felt the city was compliant with any money raised. <br /> <br />Mr. Portner informed the council that the grand opening for First Step Preschool <br />would be held at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, December. <br /> <br />11. Adjournment <br /> <br />There being no further business, Mayor Dietz adjourned the meeting of the Elk <br />River City Council at 7:51 p.m. <br /> <br />Minutes prepared by Katie Porath. <br /> <br /> <br />___________________ <br />John J.
