Mr. Turok replied that this would be a great idea and suggested inviting the full Board or <br />Executive Committee, along with Chamber staff. <br />Farmers Market in Ramsey -Larry and Sandi Golyer, Anoka County Growers <br />Association <br />Larry Golyer, Anoka County Growers Association, stated the growers association would like to <br />open a fanners market in Ramsey. He stated the market would be a place to purchase locally <br />grown fruits, vegetables, and flowers and their goal is to start something in 2010. He stated the <br />growers association is interested iri working with the City to determine location, parking, <br />signage, and licensing. <br />Councilmember Dehen expressed support for a fanners market and asked how they intend to <br />make certain that the vendors are all local and that the product is locally grown. <br />Mr. Golyer stated the Anoka County Growers Association does not allow resellers and does not <br />even allow a vendor to sell another vendor's product. He stated they feel it is important for <br />people to know the people who are growing their food. <br />Councilmember Elvig stated a fanners market is a great opportunity to bring the community <br />together. <br />Deputy City Administrator Nelson stated she will work with Mr. Golyer to put something <br />together for spring 2010 and bring the proposal to the City Council at that time. <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br />Mike Starr, 3215 - 217' Avenue NW, Anoka, stated he is running for State Senate, District 48, <br />and is interested in visiting all the City Councils and School Boazds in an effort to build a <br />relationship and introduce himself as a Senate candidate. <br />APPROVE AGENDA <br />Mayor Ramsey requested Consent Agenda item #14 be pulled and placed on the Regular <br />Meeting agenda as Case #10. <br />Councilmember Dehen expressed concern that the Report from the Finance Committee (Consent <br />Agenda item #26) requires action by the City Council on items, which do not include current <br />information, i.e., the Finance Committee met prior to the Regulaz Meeting and, therefore, no <br />minutes, are available for Council review. He stated he does not want to approve something if <br />he is not aware what happened at the meeting. <br />Mayor Ramsey agreed and suggested pulling Consent Agenda item #26 for discussion purposes. <br />City Council /August 25, 2009 <br />Page 3 of 20 <br />
