Mayor Ramsey stated the survey is good but he thinks there is a certain amount of the 300 <br />residents that were surveyed may not necessarily care because they may not plan on being here <br />in 3 to 4 years. <br />The final recommendations of Himle Horner is first suggesting to select a range of options and <br />goals, perhaps 2 -3 options and a do nothing option. Formulate clear descriptions of these options. <br />Third prepare and implement a public communications and outreach plan. <br />Fourth review public comments and input and formulate a decision on a City policy. <br />Mayor Ramsey wanted to know is there a breaking point and how much do you involve the <br />public. <br />Mr. Tombarge responded that they take that into account when they develop a plan. <br />Councilmember Backous commented he is afraid that we are going to put too many options out <br />there, he would prefer to educate the people, he thought this survey should be used to fine -tune <br />what we have. <br />Councilmember McGlone stated the current policy is the do nothing policy, so, we can limit it to <br />three with that. It is kind of the same anyway. The other one he saw was the franchise fee. <br />Mayor Ramsey stated because 54% of the people read the Ramsey Resident newsletter he would <br />like to make it more enticing for them to read the articles we want them to read. <br />Councilmember Tossey thinks the people that were commenting that they feel our roads are fine <br />are not being backed up on Ramsey roads; they are used to driving the busier roads. <br />Councilmember Wise suggested maybe a Charter Amendment; he would like to see it being rock <br />solid money only used for road reconstruction. <br />Consensus was in agreement with the Himle Horner recommendations. No final decisions will be <br />made at this meeting. <br />Finance Officer Lund discussed the franchise fee. <br />Mayor Ramsey would like to see a plan, prior to what we are going to do. He would like to <br />inform the residents of how much we will bring in by doing all this. <br />2.2 Review City Owned Land Inventory <br />Management/Planning Intern Patrick Brama reviewed in the staff report four map areas for <br />review. <br />Councilmember Elvig asked about the open space map and the large parcel over along the west. <br />City Council Work Session / July 19, 2011 <br />Page 4 of 9 <br />
