• <br />Page 2, Q7. 7. What are three to five greatest threats that the City needs to address in the short-term? <br />good example of environmental stewardship. We already have the body of water <br />not far away in the Cor, amphitheatre. How many puddles does Ramsey need? <br />Water runoff. Some areas are quite fiat and drain slow. This drought, dry soils <br />will be subject to movement during heavy rainfall and the City should know what <br />areas to watch. There seems to be a lot of tractor -trailer hauling on Armstrong. <br />Bad for the road, if even rated for it, and some of them are crowding toward the <br />center of Armstrong. So traffic flow? Ensure the viability of the aquifer. Southern <br />Minnesota has had wells drying up this past fall... could it happen here? <br />11 The somewhat organized opposition to the Vision for the COR. <br />12 COR and acting as a developer Lack of focus on city wide opportunities <br />Shortage in staff needs. Spread too thin <br />13 Emplyee moral Funding shortfalls The success of the Residence Apartments <br />14 quality transportation - good roads maintaining & nurturing a quality staff of <br />employees provide positive leadership & visibility to the average citizen - less <br />drama & controversy! <br />15 adfa <br />16 staff doesn't believe anyone has their backs finances are a mess sweetheart <br />deals re: COR <br />17 1. Road reconstruction 2. Highway 10 safety for pedestrians/motorists 3. <br />Attracting more retail/service businesses to Ramsey <br />18 Get out of the development business. Cancel the Landform contract ASAP? Find <br />ways to incentivize developers into more action in the COR. Keep taxes at the <br />low end. <br />19 The number one threat is our Congressional represntative who ahs openly <br />opposed local funding of projects. THis will make it difficult for us to get the <br />federal assistance we need to develop the Armstrong/Hwy 10 interchange and <br />the Ramsey -Dayton bridge, How do we compete with other communities that are <br />all going after the same devlopment projects that we want in Ramsey. Effective <br />use of TIF districts and otehr funding sources we ahve available to encourage <br />development. <br />20 High property taxes <br />21 123 <br />22 1. City resources depleted 2. Infratructure needs 3. Improve development/tax <br />base <br />23 1. Highway 10 2. real or percieved lack of investment outside of the COR 3. <br />infrastructure investment 4. Lack of Maintence of commercial & residential <br />properties <br />25 of 40 <br />Jan 16, 2013 11:06 AM <br />Jan 16, 2013 10:04 AM <br />Jan 15, 2013 3:12 PM <br />Jan 15, 2013 11:35 AM <br />Jan 15, 2013 8:44 AM <br />Jan 14, 2013 8:10 PM <br />Jan 14, 2013 3:59 PM <br />Jan 14, 2013 3:47 PM <br />Jan 14, 2013 3:45 PM <br />Jan 14, 2013 3:33 PM <br />Jan 14, 2013 3:31 PM <br />Jan 14, 2013 3:30 PM <br />Jan 14, 2013 3:28 PM <br />
