Mayor Ramsey stated if the foundation is constructed, anything to cushion the building would <br />have to be placed on top. He noted time is of the essence to get the pumps in the ground to finish <br />the train stop but the Council can address what to do with the Historic Town Hall next year. <br />Councilmember Elvig asked if the Historical Society has been asked about the Historic Town <br />Hall. <br />City Administrator Ulrich advised that the historic designation and impact on grants remains to <br />be addressed. He noted if the building is removed, the City can sell the site, which may be a <br />means to pay for some of the costs to move the structure. Or, if the building is left in place, the <br />City can consider offering it to a private party to rehab the building and use the site. He noted <br />those decisions cannot be made prior to addressing the Metropolitan Transit need. <br />Councilmember Strommen noted the boiler for the platform and whether to move the Historic <br />Town Hall are operating on different time tables and suggested the issues of whether to move the <br />Historic Ramsey Town be put off. <br />Mayor Ramsey stated the consensus of the Council is to build the foundation. <br />Mayor Ramsey stated he will be meeting with Brian Lamb, Metropolitan Transit General <br />Manager, on September 27, 2012, to talk about the number of busses routed to Ramsey. He <br />noted when the Council agreed to enter the Transit Taxing District, it was with the understanding <br />that MTC bus service into Ramsey would be expanded and become part of their system. <br />However, now the City is being told there will be only one or two busses and also being asked to <br />give up some land. <br />Metropolitan Council Representative Reynoso stated he will contact Mr. Lamb to determine the <br />status of that issue. He stated for the past year they have been discussing the potential of a mid- <br />day run and hopefully it will come to fruition. <br />3.
