Mr. Sipe stated he has a problem with being told you have to store your vehicle inside. Councilmember Beyer stated she wants any further action on this to cease and desist until Council has had a chance to discuss the language of the code. Mr. Sipe felt that if Council is going to discuss the language of the code, the entire City should be notified so they can show up to give opinions. Doug Fountain, 15255 Garnet Street N.W., Ramsey, stated that many, many years ago, one of the first thing he noticed in Ramsey was the lack of code enforcement. Whenever new sections were added to the code, he asked Council if they were really planning to enforce it. He felt that the entire code needed to be reviewed and what is needed should be kept or added and what isn't, should be deleted. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to direct Staff to continue to inventory this issue, but to not send out any more letters and the current letters will be tabled. The one ton-issue also has to be addressed and a workshop must be scheduled. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Peterson, Beyer, Beahen and Zimmerman. Voting No: None.
