scheduled for Sunday, October 3, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and will include activities <br />for family members of all ages. <br />4) Discussion of Sale of Property in the River's Bend Area <br />Councilmember Look stated that there is a most ridiculous rumor being circulated <br />relating to the discussion Council has had regarding the sale of property in the River's <br />Bend area — right behind The Penalty Box. Some people are fearful the City Council <br />would have a midnight vote on this. The vote was completed already. Council does not <br />know the ultimate disposition of the property — but it's been suggested we do an analysis <br />of the best use for that property. He reassured the residents there is no more voting on <br />this — and certainly no "midnight vote "! <br />5) Status of the Train Stop <br />Councilmember Elvig presented a history of the events with regard to the Ramsey train <br />stop, meetings with the NCDA, etc. He talked about the bus services as incubating <br />Ramsey's own ridership and that the train stop would stimulate economic growth. <br />Ramsey's struggles are mainly with finding funding. We will go and stand alone to the <br />station request with Burlington Northern to get the easement at a cost of $3 to $6 to $8 <br />million dollars. He added we have support but will go alone to negotiate. Mr. Ulrich <br />talked about funding sources — CTIB, State Bonding, Metropolitan Council, ACRRA, <br />and then local. He stated we are looking to these agencies to get money tagged for our <br />rail station. <br />6) Taste of Community <br />City Administrator Ulrich announced the annual Taste of Community is scheduled for <br />October 14, at Greenhaven in Anoka. The fundraiser is for Youth First Community of <br />Promise, which benefits youth in Ramsey, Andover and Anoka. <br />7) Anoka Area Chamber Breakfast <br />Mr. Ulrich announced the annual meeting of the Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce. It <br />is a breakfast meeting at The Fountains of Ramsey on October 6. He noted that if any <br />local business is interested in attending, they should contact the Chamber. <br />9.

The regular meeting of the City Council adjourned at 8:40 p.m. <br />City Council / September 28, 2010 <br />Page 15 of 16 <br />
