discussions. He stated that he does not believe it is not appropriate for Councilmember <br />Anderson to be holding this discussion without a question raised to the Council since Ramsey <br />has not been invited to the table. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro tern Zimmerman stated the School District has the final decision and he believes it is <br />poor policy to talk about a site without giving Ramsey an invitation in writing. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson stated her belief there is a perception that Andover is proactively <br />seeking the high school but nothing is being heard from Ramsey. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen disagreed and stated it may be that the School Board is proactively <br />seeking Andover and choosing to ignore Ramsey. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly stated that citizens indicated when they voted on the bond issue that it <br />was believed the high school would be located in Andover and that is what was being discussed <br />so it came as a surprise when the Ramsey site was mentioned. She stated it would be wonderful <br />ifRamsey residents provided input. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson asked if there )s interest by the Council to locate a high school in <br />Ramsey. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated the School District has not informed Ramsey of the site, what <br />the requirements are, whether they will pay for the site or want it conthbuted at no cost. He <br />stated that someone has decided the proposal for the technical school would be the high school <br />but he does not know if that would be the right site. He noted that the Council is not being <br />included in that process. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly commented on the impact to the surrounding roadways and before <br />Ramsey can say it is serious about this site, they would need more information. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated the presumption is if the Northtstar Corridor station is <br />constructed, there are expectations that around it would be certain consistent uses. He stated that <br />he does not know that a high school would be a consistent use since not many high school <br />students would be taking the train to school. He stated these are appropriate questions and he <br />believed a lot of Councilmember Anderson's comments are out of place. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson stated that all of the site criteria was laid out at the meeting and asked <br />if the Council would like to make an indication of support. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated the School District would have to first indicate what the <br />criteria is. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Councilmember Connolly, to schedule a <br />work session on Monday, February 29, 2000, starting at 5:30 p.m. <br /> <br />City Council/January 25, 2000 <br /> Page 34 of 34 <br /> <br />q? <br /> <br /> <br />
