-~~' <br />I January 3, 1986 <br /> <br /> Mayor <br />I]5]53 Nowthen Boulevard N.W. <br /> City of Ramsey <br /> Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />I Mayor, <br /> <br />6320 Hlghw,,y 10 N,W. <br />Anoka, MN 55303-4894 <br /> 612-427.$034 <br /> 1-800.328.5680 <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I am writing this letter out of frustration and lack of understanding your <br />position regarding Ramsey Business Development and Community Improvement. <br /> <br /> i <br /> ! <br /> i <br />i <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />! am one of the owners of Econ Marketing and All-Brite Graphics. Econ Marketing/ <br />All-Brite Graphics is located at 6320 Hwy l0 N.W., Ramsey, MN. We employ 40 <br />full-time people in the community of Ramsey. In ]984, we added 12,000 Sq. Feet <br />to our building and at that time made a long term commitment to the Ramsey area. <br /> <br />Our frustration started in early 1985 when the snow melted and we could see the <br />wrecked cars, building material, partially constructed buildings and generally <br />poor maintenance surrounding structures owned by our neighbor, Welsh Auto Body. <br />Your City Attorney apparently served a notice to Welch Auto Body to clean up his <br />property. The clean-up did not take place. But, the City Attorney lacked the <br />muscle to follow through to assure that it would take place. Apparently a Body <br />Shop license and an upholstery license were issued as a thanks for the prompt <br />response to the clean up notice. Our customers complain to us regarding the mess <br />next door to our business. Just recently a 18 wheeler full of used pallets arrived <br />and were dumped in the back yard of Welsh Auto Body. This again is probably none of my <br />business but, it looks terrible to me, our empIoyees, our customers, and our community. <br /> <br />If this situation outlines your business development philosophy, I will be the first <br />to tell you its wrong, and that philosophy will be the reason we leave Ramsey, <br />because of the lack of professional follow through to develope business, rather <br />than just give it lip service. <br /> <br />Regards, <br /> <br />C~uck Alsdurf <br />Vice President <br />Econ Marketing, Inc. <br />CA/me <br /> <br />CC' <br /> <br />Don Greenberg, Greenberg, Olds-Jeep, <br />President, Ramsey Economic Development Company <br />Louis N.
