Council directed City Staff to draft a charitable gambling license <br />ordinance based on Minneapolis' and applicable to Ramsey; that ordinance <br />should be brought to Council for introduction as soon as possible. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich noted that it has also been expressed that Ramsey's ordinance <br />include a mechanism whereby the proceeds from a charitable gambling <br />operation would be used to benefit Ramsey. <br /> <br />Case $7: Disc~uss Official MaD Designation: <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley informed City Council that State Statute allows cities to <br />adopt, by ordinance, an official map designation which would preserve <br />routes for roadways, railroads, trail systems and other public facilities. <br />This method would eliminate problems that might be created by relying on <br />Council memory and it would communicate intended routes to property owners. <br />An official map designation would require Council to make decisions that <br />are not permanent but have some permanence to them. Additionally, the City <br />has to be able to financially back the official map designation; the City <br />has 6 months to purchase property it needs for it's designated routes once <br />plans to develop near those routes are announced. Because the map <br />designation is adopted by ordinance, it and changes to it are subject to <br />referendum under Ramsey's charter. <br /> <br />Councilmember DeLuca stated that he would like to see a grid map prepared <br />which would indicate all existing and planned roads in Ramsey that could be <br />referred to when reviewing subdivisions. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox stated that there is no need for an official map <br />designation if the City decides what it wants and meets with affected <br />property owners to take action to preserve routes now. <br /> <br />Councilmember DeLuca suggested that the issue of a location for another <br />Mississippi crossing be addressed. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca directing <br />City Staff to obtain information from the City of Dayton regarding their <br />preferred alignment for a Mississippi River bridge crossing in order to <br />determine the impact to the Martin and the Armstrong Blvd. properties. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers Cox, DeLuca and <br />Pearson. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmember Sorteberg. <br /> <br />Case $8: Review Options For Relocating The Burlington Norther~ <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmmuber DeLuca and seconded by Councilmember Cox directing <br />City Staff to prepare an overlay map indicating the most acceptable <br />realignment of the Burlington Northern railroad tracks it's impact on <br />existing development and tree lines. After reviewing that overlay map, <br />City Staff will meet with affected property owners to explain the City's <br />effort to acquire or receive agreements to acquire right-of-way for the <br />future realignment of the Burlington Northern railroad tracks. City Staff <br />should then report the results of their meetings with property owners to <br />City Council/March 8, 1988 <br /> <br />Page 10 of 14 <br /> <br /> <br />
