<br />CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br /> <br /> <br />/ <br />--- <br /> <br />Topic ~eport: Discuss Participants for the Ramsey3 Worki...g Group <br /> <br />By: Breanne DaInes, Associate Planner <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />As you know,. the Ramsey3 steering committee and staff have conducted a series of community <br />forums and community planning sessions. As part of a McKnight-funded initiative, Open Space <br />Teclmology (OST) was used to enhance the public participation process in planning. The steering <br />committee has submitted a plan to McKnight for completing the final stages of the work plan for <br />Ramsel, which includes the formation of a City Council-appointed working group. This group <br />would consist of 24 members, and their tasks would be to: 1) refine the OST-based vision <br />statement; 2) create a checklist of core objectives; and 3) explore alternative zoning practices that <br />meet the objectives and examine the strengths arid weaknesses of each practice. <br /> <br />As proposed by the Ramsel steering committee, this group would consist of a variety of <br />stakeholders, including the steering committee, two city staft: one additional City Councilmember, <br />Planning Commissioner, and Environmental Policy Board member; one Park Commissioner, one <br />EDA member, one resident developer, six neighborhood representatives, four OST group leaders, <br />and two local business owners. This group would attend five meetings to complete the above-stated <br />tasks (neighborhood leaders would be responsible for organizing and attending a neighborhood <br />meeting as well). <br /> <br />Attached is a ballot for the City Council to select their preferred participants for the working group. <br />Once the ballots have been completed and returned, staff will tally the votes, and bring the proposed <br />working group participants to the Council meeting for ratification. Please fill out the ballots to be <br />returned at the worksession. <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> <br />Ramsel Working Group ballot <br /> <br />Action Statement: <br /> <br />Discuss the formation of the Ramsel working group, and complete the enclosed ballot <br /> <br />CCWS: <br /> <br />2.26.08 <br /> <br />Reviewed By: 0 <br /> <br />City Administrator ~ W <br />Interim CD Director <br />Interim Asst.
