Vidrine explained that there are about seven different kinds of wetlands <br />that apply to the City of Ramsey out of a total of eight categories. A model <br />ordinance was also included in his presentation telling how these areas could <br />be used. A map showing the wetlands areas was also presented. <br /> <br />Mayor Cox asked what the advantage of Mr. Vidrine's map was over the wetlands <br />map that the city hall now has. Mr. Vidrine said that they used that map as <br />a base an~ refined it by going into the field and rechecking it. The other <br />map was done several years ago and some of the areas have changed now. <br /> <br />Mayor Cox asked for a copy of the map for the Planning and Zoning Commission. <br /> <br />Received today the Critical Rivers Assessment from the Metropolitan Council. <br />Mr. Nereson indicated that he will review it with the City Attorney and <br />report back to the Council. <br /> <br />Mayor Cox made the statement that he believes communication is a vital thing <br />to this community, and he felt that there was an extremely negligent method <br />of reporting in the newspaper. <br /> <br />He specifically made mention of the recent city hall ground breaking and the <br />inadequate coverage which was provided in the Ramsey reporting. <br /> <br />Mayor Cox also indicated that the newspaper reports identify councilpersons <br />missing from meetings or who are late for meetingsl however, no mention was <br />ever made of the absence of a former councilperson who missed two months of <br />meetings. <br /> <br />~ayor Cox also pointed out that there are misspellings of coancilperson's <br />names. The reporter apologized. <br /> <br />Harold Hall and Leon Fisher own land adjacent to the new city hall site and <br />are willing to sell 7.6 acres for $5,000.00 an acre, total $38,000.00 cash. <br />This offer expires July-1.
