During the October 3, 1978 Council meeting, County Commissioner Mike
Doherty presented the Council with a task force proposal for review
of the EIS and associated materials related to the Northern Tier
Pipeline proposal. Councilmen Boardman and Duncan were designated
at that meeting to work with Manager Whorton and the County Com-
missioners in this matter.
During this meeting, Councilmen Boardman and Duncan briefly reported
on the meetings held thus far by the Board and suggested Mr. Reed
Hansen, of the National Urban Institute, be hired as a consultant
to assist the task force in their research. It was also suggested
that a coordinator be hired to keep the task force organized and to
supervise the topic study committees. Councilman Duncan briefed
the Council on Mr. Hansen's background and qualifications, and
indicated that Mr. Hansen is willing to give the task force 75~
of his time for two months, in addition to the services of an
economist and environmental lawyer; his fees for these services
will be $5,500, with payment to be split between the City and
County.
The Council discussed Mr. Hansen's proposal at length with Manager
Whorton, Attorney Walrath, and Harry Lydiard. Subjects discussed
included the possibility of obtaining funding through CSA for this
project, how Mr. Hansen will work with the task Force, the duties
and salary of the administrative coordinator, 50/50 financing of
the task force by the County and City, and modifications to the
draft task force agreement between the City and County. Council-
man Buck then moved the Council adopt the proposed joint inter-
local agreement, with modifications made to the "General Purpose"
and "Financing" portion of the agreement, and identify the amount
of monies that the City is contributing to the project as $5,500
