Old Business –
PPSSD – Supervisor J Stegmeir reported that he is working on closing out PFA stuff. We had to do a waiver request for real estate. John asked Mia to write a letter requesting a waiver. This is required by the Minnesota Management and Budget. The letter was signed by Chairman L Kec. A situation report that was started last spring, some of the grinders were leaking. USA and SEH are looking into this for a fix. Supervisor J Stegmeir received a land use permit application from SLC regarding a property in the PPSSD District. He was asked to sign off on this if it has no adverse effect on the districts infrastructure. The board agreed that there was no problem with this so Supervisor J Stegmeir signed off on it and it will be sent back to the county.
