Mayor Gamec said the City is going to need someone from the County to assist. Councilman Cox said the City of Ramsey has socioeconomic needs that don't exist in some of the other communities 'in the County 'and the city'should be getting its share for developing new programs. The cityshould not have to provide a highly technical person in order to do this. Mayor qamec sug-~ested putting this matter on the agenda for the special council meeting of October 15, 1980 and instructing city staff to find out what the fee would be to hire someone who is familiar with writing up grant applications. Councilman Cox said the city could spend $10,000 and over to hire someone to write this up and then end up with a goose egg. He said the council thought this was going to be administered at the County level. The meeting recessed at 8:15 P.M. The meeting was called back to order at 8:20 P.M. Councilman Sorteberg said he didn't know how formal the grant application should be. Building Official Berg said the city can make an aPplication and they will send it back and let the city know what they did wrong. City Administrator Schnelle said some of the communities in the County are receiving $30 per person in State Aids and Ramsey is receiving $9.00 per person.
