RESOLUTION DESIGNATING CHRISTOPHER J. PETREE AS AN AUTHORIZED
AGENT TO SEEK REIMBURSEMENTS FROM THE PETROLEUM TANK RELEASE
CLEANUP FUND
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to designate Christopher J. Petree as
an authorized agent to seek reimbursements from the Petroleum Tank Release Cleanup Fund.
Overview
The Minnesota Legislature established the Petroleum Tank Release Cleanup Fund (Petrofund) to
reimburse eligible applicants for reasonable and necessary costs they incur in responding to a
petroleum tank leak. As a result of the demolition of the Scheffler property at 202nd Street and
Dodd Boulevard, a leak from an inground petroleum tank was discovered that required
remediation by the City.
Action to remediate the tank leak has been taken and reimbursement for eligible costs are being
sought. In accordance with Minnesota Rule 2890.4400, Subp. 4C. the application must be signed
by “a principal executive officer or ranking elected official, or by a duly authorized representative
or agent of the principal executive officer if the representative or agent is responsible for the
overall operation of the facility that is the subject of the application.”
In this case, Mr. Petree, as Public Works Director, has been responsible for actions associated
with the demolition of properties throughout the City, including the Scheffler property, meeting
the requirements of the rule. Staff recommends approval.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Why is this designation necessary? The Minnesota Department of Commerce requires proof
of authority to sign the application before proceeding with the process to determine
reimbursement.
Supporting Information
• None.
