Councilmember Cox stated that in many respects, he doesn't <br />agree with Mr. Deemer at all. Councilm~nber COx stated that Council is elected <br />by the public and if the public doesn't like his decisions, they can vote him <br />out of office. Planning and Zoning is not elected and action regarding the <br />Planning and Zoning Ccm~nission on the public's behalf ~ust take place through <br />his vote at the Council table. Councilmember Cox expressed respect for the <br />commission members being present on Mr. ~amer's behalf but noted that nobody <br />would have to be speaking for Mr. Deemer had he been doing his job. <br />Councilmember Cox stated that he is not in favor of Mr. Deemer's reappointment. <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann stated he is a patriotic person and he noticed at a Council <br />meeting that Mr. Deemer did not take off his hat during the Pledge to the Flag. <br />Mayor Reimann stated that he gets reports back from people stating that Mr. <br />Deemer seems to be taking it upon himself to be the Building Inspector; <br />somebody representing Ramsey should be informed as to what he should and should <br />not be doing. Mr. Deemer seems to be getting into issues that don't involve <br />him. Mr. Deemer can bring his concerns up for discussion at Planning and <br />Zoning meetings but he should not take it upon himself to act as the City's <br />Building Official. <br /> <br />Mr. Shm~way stated that in order to be better informed on cases coming before <br />them, all of the Commission members try to inspect the subject properties. <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann stated that he also used to inspect subject properties when he <br />served on Planning and Zoning but Mr. ~-mer oversteps his boundaries and he is <br />representing Ramsey when he does those kinds of things. <br /> <br />Mr. Shut, ay stated that he feels Council is singling out Mr. De~mer because he <br />justifiably called a local business owner on the carpet; eyeD/thing Mr. Deemer <br />did was legal and everything that business owner did was illegal. Mr. Deemer <br />is being singled out because he did not go with the flow and did what he <br />thought was right. <br /> <br />Mr. Deemer requested that Mayor Reimann point out specific instances where he <br />overstepped boundaries and acted as the Building Official. <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann stated that he can't get into specifics. <br /> <br /> city council/January 6, 1987 <br /> <br />Page 6 of 12 <br /> <br /> <br />
