Shellenberger commented that beginning next year the Rocky Mountain <br />Arsenal plans to start incinerating all of its hazardous waste, <br />which is some of the most toxic waste in the world. She restated <br />her purpose in coming was to alert Council and urge them to educate <br />themselves on this, maybe communicate with Boulder. Boulder's <br />Planning Board has delayed its decision on granting a permit to <br />Centex for two months. They will be having a study session the end <br />of September. It's the first time the Boulder Planning Board has <br />even considered air pollution as a factor in granting a building <br />permit. The authority lies in the land use regulations. <br /> <br />Sisk urged Council to have Louisville's City Administrator contact <br />Tim Honey (Boulder) to discuss their findings. <br /> <br />Howard wanted to know what, if any, liability issues are for the <br />City of Louisville in Class Action suits that may or may not arise <br />from the Centex actions. He asked the City Attorney, if the City <br />of Louisville does not take action, would the City be under any <br />special pressures from the Court, if we did not take action. <br /> <br />Susan Griffiths, City Attorney, stated that it would be unlikely <br />that the City of Louisville would be legally liable for the results <br />of the pollution. <br /> <br />Howard thought it would be a good idea for Annette Brand to get in <br />touch with Storage Technology, since they are one of the ten top <br />polluters. <br /> <br />John Waschak, former Louisville Mayor, commented on the recent <br />letter to the editor in the Louisville Times concerning the City's <br />purchasing policy, more specifically Brian Harris's (Louisville <br />Parks and Recreation Department) purchasing of Little League <br />equipment. He felt that any time the City is purchasing anything <br />that can be bought within the City, it should be. He also spoke of <br />the median strip on Hawthorn Street. He has lived there for 3 1/2 <br />years and the sprinkling system is in, but there has never been any <br />water turned on that median. He wanted to know the reason. <br /> <br />Davidson said they would find out. He also said that he had talked <br />to Steve Baysinger, Director of Parks and Recreation, about the <br />purchasing policy. Baysinger said that City staff elected not to <br />allow Sportline to sell supplies at the Recreation Center. As far <br />as allowing any City business to bid on any City business, there is <br />no formal purchasing policy at the City. The Finance Committee <br />discussed it at their meeting and the City is looking into a <br />purchasing policy. <br /> <br />Chris Harris, 256 W. Cedar Way, Louisville, CO, had heard a rumor <br />that there was going to be a theatre in Louisville and he wondered <br />if that was true. <br /> <br />Howard commented that the City is looking at various options to try <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />
