Council proceeded to review Highways, Streets and Roadways Maintenance <br />function of the City. <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley stated that there are critical intersections where street <br />lighting may be something Council will want to seriously consider in the <br />future. <br /> <br />Council consensus was that complaints on Weed Control should be directed to <br />the community service officer. <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley noted that the City does not have an ordinance in place <br />adopting State laws regarding shade tree disease control. Council <br />consensus was that enforcement rights are not necessary at this time; most <br />residents are cooperative in controlling shade tree diseases when the Tree <br />Inspector brings the problem to their attention. <br /> <br />Council consensus was that striping of residential streets is not necessary <br />at this time; striping of MSA roads should be automatically done through <br />MSA road maintenance fund. <br /> <br />Council consensus was that curb and gutter maintenance will not be <br />addressed in the 1988 budget but rather in future budgets. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox referred to Cemetery Maintnance and stated there is a <br />policy whereby cemeteries will be mowed prior to Memorial Day; there should <br />be a policy established regarding whether or not there will be a charge for <br />burials at the active cemetery and if so, a fund established that will <br />cover maintenance costs. <br /> <br />Council recessed at 9:10 p.m. <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann called the meeting back to order at 9:28 p.m. <br /> <br />MAYOR AND COUNCIL INPUT <br /> <br />Mr. Rartley stated that a petition has been submitted requesting a <br />referendum on the airport safety zoning ordinance. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Pearson and seconded by Councilmember Sorteberg to <br />schedule a special City Council meeting for Monday, November 23, 1987 at <br />6:00 p.m. at Ramsey City Hall to receive the City Administrator's report on <br />the sufficiency of the petition submitted requesting a referendum on the <br />airport safety zoning ordinance. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
