Update on Storm Clean-up <br />Public Works Director gave an update on the large storm event in the last week. He said the <br />residents have been given one week to get their tree debris to the curb, and a contractor was hired <br />to help handle the debris. The City did enter a state of emergency. He said one of the most <br />frequently asked questions is whether tree disposal sites that had been used in 2005 could be <br />used. He said it is not a service that will be offered this year. The other frequent question is <br />whether the boulevard trees will be replaced. He stated there is a budget, and some trees can be <br />replaced. The boulevard trees will be replaced when that activity fits within the normal budget. <br />He advised citizens to call the City for a list of contractors. They should make sure the <br />contractors they choose are bonded and licensed. <br />Fire Chief Kapler stated the debris can be brought to the City's site and burned, and there is <br />usually a $25 permit fee. He requested the Council waive that fee for 30 days. <br />Motion by Councilmember Wise, seconded by Councilmember Elvig, to waive the permit fee for <br />burning debris for a period of 30 days. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Ramsey, Councilmembers Wise, Elvig, Backous, McGlone, <br />and Tossey. Voting No: None. <br />Fire Chief Kapler stated a recreational fire is 20 feet. There are no restrictions; however, he <br />noted pine trees create a lot of smoke, and if that smoke is seen by an employee they will <br />respond. <br />Farmers Market/The Draw Events <br />City Administrator Ulrich reminded the public that The Draw summer series event continues. <br />The farmers market is open as well. <br />Soccer Tournament <br />Councilmember Backous stated the Northern Lights Soccer Club is hosting the boys' <br />tournament. There will be several thousand people will be coming to Ramsey, and volunteers <br />are needed for various positions. <br />9.
