<br /> In my mind, all the land in this area, basically all of the City east of Sunfish Lake Boulevar,~i~d
<br /> also south of 153~ Avenue, should be exempt from this ordinance. Time 11:35 a.m.
<br /> City Hall that the ordinance is ready. Time 12:05 p.m. I have read through the
<br /> seems that the Planning Commission listened to my speech on October 16~ I can't
<br /> find.anything that I would strongly object to in this draft dated October 20, 2~ sure
<br /> the Council doesn't regress on this issue here is some of what Was said
<br /> and I didn't stay after making the speech, so they did this without '
<br /> provisions in the previous draft that let the City's in
<br /> proposed ordinance. This is very dangerous, and maybe not government'
<br /> law. There is a misconception that the Comprehensive i: of the City.
<br /> It is not, very big not. It is the document that is to guide es are made within the
<br /> City, and in Ramsey's case the content of City codes Ch 9. If are made to the
<br /> Chapter 9, the Comprehensive Plan means nothing, Met who approves the
<br /> Comprehensive Plan can't really do much to force in good faith,
<br /> comply with the Comprehensive Plan if any changes are )ter 9 of the City
<br /> code require four of the five people who are elected to agree There have been
<br /> very few changes to Chapter 9 in the last eight years because and was a whole
<br /> chapter revision ready for ado four years ago, that was just the then
<br /> proposed Comprehensive Plan ~n process for five. of the
<br /> Council at that time could not Now said, having the
<br /> Comprehensive Plan define the administrative
<br /> function for the City Council.'"'PS'ilow u/res a simple majority of
<br /> the City Council. Generally this is lets go to an extreme and
<br /> say that a Council quorum of three is the simple majority is two
<br /> people. This wouI4be very dangerous,
