2) Ramsey Industrial Park <br /> <br />Councilmember Haas Steffen stated the City now has a Community Development Director and <br />suggested staff begin looking at the possibility of upgrading certain parts of the industrial park. <br />She stated there may be TIF or other redevelopment dollars that could be used toward that effort <br />since it may attract new businesses. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec agreed with the need to clean up some of these areas and suggested staff also <br />research the possibility of State of Federal funding for this work. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman suggested that the area west of C.R. #56 may be more suited for an <br />industrial park. He noted the expenditure of $2.2 million to upgrade a roadway but businesses <br />are moving. He suggested that a better investment might be to invest in an industrial park to <br />provide space for businesses that need an exclusive area with new businesses around them. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec commented that the City has attracted more businesses than it has lost. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman agreed that .the City has been successful in attracting businesses <br />through TIF dollars. <br /> <br />Councilmember Haas Steffen stated that while she agrees, she does not think blighted areas <br />should be ignored. She stated that she believes dollars are available specifically for this purpose <br />since a similar program has been done by a sister city. <br /> <br />3) Ramsey Gun Club Meeting <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec noted the meeting on Thursday, October 15, 1998, regarding the Ramsey Gun <br />Club. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Beahen and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to adjourn the <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Motion carded.
