Mayor Strommen stated the Council is in agreement to put this process in place and provide <br />education/training for the Chairs. She asked whether that information should be added to the <br />sign -in sheet to educate people who intend to speak. <br />Police Chief Way advised that State Statute indicated the information should be published, <br />posted, or announced. He suggested it also be included on the City's website, posted, and <br />announced by Mayor Strommen at the start of the meeting. <br />Councilmember Backous stated he thinks the more locations it can be posted, the better. <br />Mayor Strommen asked whether the Council supported limiting time for speakers during Citizen <br />Input. <br />The Council indicated it did not support limiting time. <br />Councilmember Backous noted that some cities do not televise Citizen Input, which would <br />prevent a person from using it as a platform to promote their view. <br />Mayor Strommen agreed that while this can occur, it has not been a problem in Ramsey. <br />The consensus of the Council was to support a Continuum of Action Policy pertaining to <br />meeting disruptions and direct staff to post this information as appropriate. <br />3. TOPICS FOR FUTURE DISCUSSION <br />3.01: Stormwater Drainage Issue / Public Works Committee Meeting Agenda <br />Councilmember Johns reported on a resident call relating to a stormwater issue by Woodland <br />Green Park. <br />Mayor Strommen suggested the that she, as Mayor, and the Ward Councilmembers tour this site <br />and that this Case be incorporated into a Public Works Committee meeting so it is properly <br />noticed. <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated staff will schedule such a site visit that is incorporated with the <br />Public Works Committee meeting. <br />Mayor Strommen asked staff to inform the interested resident when the site visit is scheduled. <br />Councilmember Riley stated none on the Council are drainage experts so he would ask what the <br />value of a Council tour is. <br />Councilmember Backous stated the resident wants the Councilmembers to see the situation so <br />they better understand his concern. <br />City Council Work Session / September 2, 2014 <br />Page 7 of 9 <br />
