MAYOR AND COUNCIL INPUT <br /> <br />a) Transmittal From Senator Dave Durenberger <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann noted receiving a letter from Senator Dave Durenberger thanking the City <br />for providing him with a copy of Ramsey's resolution regarding 1990 National Community <br />Development Week. <br /> <br />b) Optical Scan Units For Voting <br /> <br />Councilmember Cich referred to Commissioner Haas Steffen's letter dated April 19, 1990 <br />and reiterated his disappointment in the County's plan to convert to optical scan voting <br />machines now rather than waiting until 1992 as originally planned. <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann and Mr. Hartley indicated that more information regarding this issue is <br />being gathered and will be presented to City Council in the near future. <br /> <br />c) Arbor Day <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann noted receiving a letter from Anoka County indicating that an Arbor Day <br />ceremony will be held at the Anoka County Fairgrounds on May 5, 1990. <br /> <br />d) Animal Control Costs <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson requested that City Staff provide City Council with a report on <br />animal control costs in the City of Ramsey at the next regular City Council meeting. <br /> <br />e) Street Improvement Projects <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson requested that in the future, feasibility studies for street <br />improvement projects include the cost and option for higher levels of ditch and boulevard <br />restoration. <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka noted that in years past, high levels of restoration were included in the <br />improvement projects but property owners did not follow up with boulevard maintenance <br />and grass eventually died. It was determined at that time to reduce the cost of improvement <br />projects and eliminate high levels of restoration. <br /> <br />It was determined that the City's policy regarding the level of restoration to be included in <br />street improvement projects should be an item for discussion at the City Council meeting on <br />May 8, 1990. <br /> <br />f) Issues For Future Council Discussion <br /> <br />Councilmember DeLuca requested that the following items be placed on a subsequent <br />Council agenda for discussion: <br /> <br />1) <br /> <br />Councilmembers to schedule a time to accompany a patrol officer on an <br />evening shift during school summer vacation. <br /> <br />2) Proposed modifications to Police Deparmaent reporting system. <br /> <br />3) Review ordinances for validity with respect to all areas of Ramsey. <br /> <br />City Council/April 24, 1990 <br />Page 18 of 19 <br /> <br /> <br />
