These produced a draft of guiding principles. The OST event was so <br />successful that the steering committee decided to hold a second session on June 22 and 23r On Friday, <br />June 22 Mr. Herman conducted "OST training" for interested Ramsey residents and staff to utilize in <br />their own neighborhoods and for dealing with contentious issues. On the following day, the community <br />continued the discussion begun in May. From the two discussions, the community created a draft of eight <br />key issues that will guide the City during the Comprehensive Plan update. <br />Seven OST events designed around one or more of the issues, followed the initial sessions. These events <br />were facilitated by the City staff employing the techniques learned as part of the May and June OST <br />sessions conducted by Michael Herman. <br />Below is a listing of the OST Visioning sessions: <br />Ramsey Final Report <br />Grant No. 05 -1237 <br />City of Ramsey <br />August 1 — Introduction to Community Planning <br />August 22n - Balancing Property Rights with the Public Interest <br />September 12 - Identifying, Protecting, and Enhancing Our Natural Resources <br />October 3 - Housing Choices, Appropriate Density & Neighborhood Design <br />'w •3 I � to <br />
