Ramsey. The pr..o~edure~ to be followed is that City Council must designate a <br />destination point in Kamsey, notify MN DoT and request destination signs. <br />That destination point is usually a crossroads at a geographic or activity <br />center. <br /> <br />Mr. Hardin noted that he talked with the Postmaster regarding Ramsey being <br />assigned it's own zip code. Council has taken action to get that <br />assignment. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding an appropriate location in Ramsey to be <br />designated as Ramsey's destination point. <br /> <br />Motion by Mr. Paudio and seconded by Mr. Muller to recommend that City <br />Council adopt a resolution declaring and requesting that MN DoT recognize <br />the intersection of County Rd. #56 and Hwy. #10 N.W. as Ramsey's <br />destination point and that destination signs be posted accordingly. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Mr. Raudio stated that the basis for his motion is <br />that Hwy. #10 is a major thoroughfare and is being targeted for development <br />activity. Mr. Kurak stated that there may be a very minimal charge for <br />posting of the destination signs. Mr. DeLuca stated that any cost factor <br />would be dissolved by the awareness of Ramsey the signs would create. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mr. Hardin, Mr. DeLuca, Mr. Kurak, Mr. <br />Greenberg, Mr. Raudio, Mr. Miller, Mr. Muller. Voting No: None. Absent: <br />Mr. Wagner and Mr. Fults. <br /> <br />Case ~6.. State Plans For Ol_vmpic Training Comp_le~: <br /> <br />Mr. Kurak stated that he talked to Mr. Paul Erickson regarding the <br />Governor's program to have an olympic training center located in Anoka <br />County. A site in Blaine has been selected. That program is going to be <br />expanded upon and other sites are being researched. Mr. Kurak suggested <br />that a letter be forwarded to Mr. Erickson listing Ramsey's assets (sewer <br />and water, airport, river property) and requesting that the 150 acre parcel <br />west of the airport be given consideration. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued whether or not the letter should name specific sites or <br />refer to the Ramsey area in general. Mr. Kurak stated that in his <br />opinion, specifics lead to further discussion and generalities do not. <br /> <br />Motion by Mr. Kurak and seconded by Mr. Raudio directing that a letter be <br />drafted to Mr. Paul Erickson informing him of the amenities available in <br />Ramsey (sewer and water, airport, river property, county park land) and <br />suggesting that the Schwartzman property on the south side of Hwy. #10 and <br />the 150 acre parcel west of the Gateway North Airport be reviewed for <br />possible expansion of the Governor's Olympic Training Complex project. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Mr. DeLuca stated that Mr. Schwartzman already has <br />plans for this property and that possibly the parcel to the west of Alpaca <br />Estates should be recommended for consideration. Mr. Miller suggested <br />naming the amount of acreage available in Ramsey rather than particular <br />sites. <br /> Economic Development Company/March 5, 1987 <br /> <br />Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
