inspections and felt it showed his company is not the company it is portrayed to be. He <br />stated he would work with the City if the City will just communicate what it wants. <br /> <br />Jerry Martin, Business owner, Gateway North Industrial Park, stated that mediation <br />between the City of Ramsey and Mr. Karst has already taken place and it would be <br />inappropriate to have more mediation sessions. He stated he'd be happy to discuss with <br />the City, or whoever, the direction the Industrial Park should go but he is not in favor of <br />attending separate mediation sessions pertaining to Mr. Karst's company only. He, too, <br />added that Mr. Karst has made some improvemenm but he felt it could have been taken care <br />of before. He expressed his hope that the City takes responsibility and continues with the <br />revocation process of Mr. Karst's CUP. <br /> <br />Art Bulow, 19065 Xerxes Street, Elk River - stated he sold some property in 1989 on <br />Front Street N.W. At that time there was no building on the property but the purchaser has <br />since built a house. At the time of his building permit, he was supposed to be charged a <br />SAC charge; however, the fee was not added to his building permit. He (purchaser) was <br />billed for it later. Mr. Bulow stated that the purchaser took him to conciliation court on <br />December 10, I992 because he felt it was his (Mr. Bulow's) responsibility to pay this SAC <br />charge. The court judged in the purchaser's favor. Mr. Bulow believes that a resolution he <br />had received a copy of stated that the fee would be paid by the landowner at the time of <br />hook up. Mr. Bulow stated he paid ali his assessments when the property was divided by <br />the City of Ramsey, Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota Highway Department. He <br />inquired why this SAC charge was not taken care of at the City level instead of him ending <br />up being taken to court. The amount is $1,322.00. He thought he could appeal the <br />decision but it would cost as much in attorney's fees as the SAC charge. He added that it <br />should be up to the City to rectify this situation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson stated that the correct property owner was billed by the Cit3'. He <br />added that the City would provide Mr. Bulow with as much public documentation as <br />possible, but that is about the extent of what the City can do. <br /> <br />Mr. Bulow inquired why he should incur the expense of hiring an attorney when this <br />problem should have been taken care of in 1989. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich stated this is an issue between Mr. Bulow and his purchaser. The <br />City has no control over what a conciliation court decides. <br /> <br />APPROVE AGENDA <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to <br />approve the agenda with the following addition: <br /> <br />Case gg: Discussion pertaining to Labor Relations (Closed) <br /> <br />Motion carried.
