RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING FULL PAYMENT TO
THE METROPOLITAN WASTE CONTROL COMMISSION
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park determined that the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission's methods of allocating the costs of system
expansion for new development in the outlying metropolitan area results in an
inequitable burden on the core communities, and
WHEREAS, the City Council voted to withhold payment of the MWCC's 1994 rate
increase of the agency until such time as sufficient evidence was presented by agency
officials which proved that the cost allocation methodology was fair to the core
communities, and
WHEREAS, City staff has reported that the MWCC's cost allocation methods are within
the guidelines of state statutes governing the agency and provides for capital expansion
costs for outlying areas to be included in operating costs and subsequently paid for by all
communities on the system, and
WHEREAS, the continued withholding of amounts due to the MWCC will only result in
additional interest penalties to the City,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of St. Louis
Park that the full amount due to the MWCC for 1994 be authorized for payment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council work with the State Legislature
and other communities in the system to review the statute governing the agency and its
allocation methods.
