PROCEEDINGS OF CITY COUNCIL <br /> CITY OF RAMSEY <br /> ANOKA COUNTY <br /> STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />The Ramsey City Council conducted a regular meeting on Tuesday, June 23, <br />1987 at the Ramsey Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Blvd. N.W., Ramsey, <br />Minnesota. <br /> <br />Members Present: <br /> <br />Mayor Gary Reimann <br />Councilmember Arnie Cox <br />Councilmember A1 Sorteberg <br />Councilmember Steve DeLuca <br />Conncilmember A1 Pearson <br /> <br />Also Present: <br /> <br />City Administrator David Hartley <br />City Attorney William Goodrich <br />City Engineer Peter Raatikka <br />Community Development Director Anne Norris <br /> <br />CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann called the regular Council meeting to order at 7:34 p.m. and <br />led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. <br /> <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />Birdie Rotramel - 8435 167th Lane N.W. - Stated that she had the <br />opportunity to be in City Hall 3 times during the past 6 weeks and the <br />manner in which the grounds were kept left something to be desired. The <br />grounds have now been mowed but there should be a regular maintenance <br />program for City Hall grounds as city hall is a community's badge. Ms. <br />Rotramel stated that she would also be in favor of the city again putting <br />forth a bond issue for a swimming pool; her increase in taxes would be <br />offset by the gas and travel time she would save going to other communities <br />that have pools. She attended the Community Picnic sponsored by the Lions <br />and it was a wonderful event. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox stated that he has served in Ramsey for 15 years. He <br />read the article in the newspaper about the grounds at Ramsey City Hall <br />and he believes those articles discredit the people and the community. <br />Ramsey is a community operating with minimal funds; the city is aware of <br />tasks that are not being accomplished and is in the process of considering <br />contracting out those tasks rather than flooding the city with hired <br />employees. Bond issues may appear to be pallatable but some are not paying <br />their fair share because of inequities in bond issues in Minnesota. <br />tloweown~- -oe~ld--m et~-~f-f~ r~-gh.e--i~te r es~--om-- a- boad--i~ue if~~t~f-o ~ <br /> <br />eo~cz~a~d~pmea, in t~~~. ~msey does not receive it s fair <br />share of local government aids and therefore tries to find more efficient <br />ways of getting jobs done.
