The public hearing closed at 7:41 p.m. Council Business Mayor Gamec called the regular City Council meeting back to order at 7:41 p.m. Mayor Gamec noted that seven projects are under consideration and recommended that a motion include all of the projects. Councihnember Kurak asked if the work is completed. City Engineer Jankowski answered in the affirmative and explained the notice in question was for a public hearing held in March when residents gave their input. Councilmember Kurak stated it is not good policy that Ramsey did not give these residents the opportunity to provide input on a project that is occurring in their neighborhood. City Engineer Jankowski agreed and stated that input at that time is found to be very valuable and it is regrettable that notice did not happen. He stated the improvement involved sealcoating 700 to 800 feet on Azurite Street. The proposal mentioned is to extend sewer and water up the street to serve properties so all or part of that pavement would need to be removed to install the sewer and water. He noted that in 1995, there was a similar proposal in Pondvale but now, eight years later, the utilities have still not been extended. Councihnember Kurak stated she does not support 2003 Street Maintenance Program, Project 03-04, due to the public notification problem but could support the rest of the projects.
