This charter is an <br />opportun!tyi~or the citizens to insert their will into government with <br />relative~im~gdiacy. If the citizens come to that realization, hopefully <br />we will'~ee~ change in citizen participation in their government. <br /> <br />Commission consensus is that posters will be placed at public locations in <br />Ramsey desig~a ing the next Charter information meeting as March 22, 1984 <br />at 7:30 ~.m.! at the Ramsey Municipal Center. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by .COmmissioner Bauerkemper and seconded by Commissioner Greenberg to <br />adjourn thls regular meetmng of the Ramsey Charter Commission. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
