MRY-05-97 RON 08:05 RM STRRTRSYS <br /> <br />FSX 80. 6129370070 <br /> <br />P. 03/03 <br /> <br />Keith A. Kiefer <br /> <br />May 3, 1997 <br /> <br />1. Many important accomplishments took place during my term. It is difficult to identify <br />a single accomplishment as the most important; history will truly answer this <br />question. However, I believe the retroactive moratorium on city sewer will have the <br />greatest impact on Ramsey citizens. <br /> <br />2. The most important personal contribution might be compiling data on the number of <br />cities using an at large council, ward system and a combination of both ward and at <br />large. <br /> <br />3. I'm frustrated and concerned about limitations placed on the city/charter <br />commission to provide unbiased information to the voters. Voters need information to <br />fully understand how their vote affects the community and their pocket book. <br /> <br />4. Three items would make the commission more effective: <br /> <br />- Education/training for commissioners (especially new commissioners) <br /> covering their roles and responsibilities <br /> <br />-Education of the community on the commission's role in city government <br /> <br />-use of the Commission for its intended purpose <br /> <br />5. I would like the commission to determine if the city should transition to a council <br />elected by wards or a combination of "at large" and ward system, and, if this change is <br />determined to be in the best interest of the community, develope a comprehensive <br />plan on when and how to implement this to provide the least disruption and cost to all <br />parties concerned. <br /> <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
