He <br />said, ''The testing was required by the Bankruptcy Court when we <br />purchased the property last fall." <br />Mabusth asked Carlson if he would provide the City with a <br />copy of the test information. <br />Kelley asked if there is currently fuel in the tank. <br />Carlson replied, "Th->r ■; is not any fuel in the tank at this <br />time." <br />Kelley asked what standards and safety regulations the City <br />has to address underground gas tanks. <br />Mabusth replied, "vmen the fuel extension was placed on the <br />docking facility, it was required to meet fire code regulations. <br />I also believe that the L^lCD v;as involved in that review process. <br />Kelley said, "I am talking about more than just fire <br />standards.
