City of <br />Elk -..-~ <br />River <br />REQUEST FOR ACTION <br />To Item Number <br />Ci Council 6.2. <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />Worksession Au st 11, 2008 Lori ohnson, Ci Administrator <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Consider HKGi Landfill Expansion Study <br /> Reviewed by <br />Action Requested <br />Consider a proposal from Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. for a Landfill Expansion Study. <br />Back~round/Discussion <br />At the August 4, 2008, Council meeting, the Council briefly discussed the possibility of undertaking a <br />study to determine the impact of a possible landfill expansion on surrounding land uses. The request to <br />do a study is in anticipation of an application for expansion; therefore, the study would not address any <br />specific issues related to the application itself. <br />Attached is Hoisington Koegler Group Inc.'s proposal to complete a landfill expansion study. Rusty <br />Fifield would lead the project with assistance from other professional staff at HKGi versed in this area of <br />planning. Because the landfill area is directly north of the gravel mining area, which is one of the <br />prominent future development areas in the City, it is important to analyze how the expansion of an <br />existing landfill may affect future development of that area. Obviously, there are many different factors <br />involved in granting an expansion to the landfill. This study will provide information on only a piece of <br />the many items that need to be considered. <br />Financial Impact <br />A cost of not to exceed $9,800 from the Development fund. <br />Attachments <br />^ Landfill Expansion Study Proposal from Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />S:\Council\Lori\2008\Landfill expansion study 08 11 2008.doc <br />
