<br />Sept. 18, 2008 <br /> <br />TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: <br /> <br />I am protesting the City of Ramsey's actions in regards to the alleged <br />special assessment on our property. <br />John Dehen is my next door neighbor. He has used his position as a <br />lawyer to cause problems for us for the past seven years. The Ramsey <br />Ordinance Officer last year was one of his friends, Mr. Chris Anderson. Mr. <br />Anderson has been so disagreeable that his ordinance duties have been placed <br />back with the police department. <br />A year ago, during a "pre-look" of our yard, Police Chief Way came <br />with Mr. Anderson. Chief Way thought there were a couple of things that he <br />would like to see out of sight. He said to put them into our storage shed and <br />everything would be alright. We did everything he said to do and found that he <br />had lied to us. As a last act of vengence, Mr, Chris Anderson ordered the theft <br />and destruction of private property. Our storage shed, in our woods, was <br />destroyed, along with its contents including a 1 year old working washing <br />machine, windows for remodeling our home and a cradel that my father had <br />made for me in 1940, which had been promised to my granddaughter. <br />The pylons on the river bank were being incorporated in a design for <br />access to the river beach. The DNR said NOT to remove the pylons as they <br />were helping to stabilize the bank. Because the City of Ramsey felt the need to <br />dig them out, the bank is now eroding there. Yes, there was landscape fabric at <br />the water level that was holding the base of the (sugar sand) bank. Now, since <br />the fabric was removed, there is nothing stopping the erosion. <br />The City officials came onto our property, seized private property <br />without proper legal notice, which is a constitutional due process violation as <br />well as a taking constitutional violation. There was no notice of property removal <br />by the City, warrent or court signed paper. They just came and took. Now they <br />have the audicity to charge me for their actions. I am trying to hold onto our <br />home with my social security money and cannot afford to pay thieves to come <br />and rob me. <br /> <br />Yes, I do protest the City's actions and assessment. <br /> <br />Sandra Dickson <br />14760 Bowers Drive <br />
