Council hears utility update; MPCA monitoring continues, city urged to keep lot 6
Summary
Utility Superintendent Allan Fox reported that MPCA has the city under monitoring while a limits study is pending; City Attorney Aaron Walton advised the council to retain lot 6 rather than sell it to avoid potential easement complications.
Utility Superintendent Allan Fox told the council July 13 that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) contacted him that day and that the city remains under monitoring while options for permit compliance are explored. Fox said an MPCA limits study is not yet complete, leaving the city with provisional compliance options to consider.
City Attorney Aaron Walton recommended retaining lot 6 instead of selling it to avoid potential easement issues tied to the utility project. The exchange flagged a land-management choice that could limit future regulatory or easement complications if monitoring results prompt corrective measures.
