Special City Council meeting minutes dated July 29, 1985. <br /> <br />C~issioner Fults stated that the bad publicity Ramsey has been been getting <br />and the way City Council is conducting business is bad for real estate business <br />in Ramsey. <br /> <br />COMMISSION BUSINESS <br /> <br />~ IDterviews With Applicants For Vacancies On Conmi~ion: <br /> <br />Mr. Steve DeLuca was present and stated that he lives and works in Ramsey and <br />is ooncerned with the eoonomic growth of the community because without a solid <br />tax base to draw from, the City is forced into this existing tax base which is <br />hard on both segments -- con~nercial and residential. Mr. DeLuca stated that he <br />is concerned with the nanber of businesses that are leaving Ramsey. Mr. DeLuca <br />proceeded to read his statement made to City Council on August 13, 1985 (refer <br />to Oouncil minutes dated August 13, 1985 for that statement). <br /> <br />Subcommittee Reports: <br /> <br />A. I~_islative - <br /> <br />No report at this time. <br /> <br />B. Finance And Economiq - <br /> <br />Ommissioner Fults stated that this subcon~ittee is still researching ways to <br />get municipal services to Mate Punch and Die. A meeting is scheduled for <br />August 21 with Ms. Waelti to discuss the possibility of tax increment fluids <br />being used for sewer extension. Using CDBG funds for the trunk line may create <br />some hard feelings with other developers who have bonded for trunk line, <br />especially if the City cannot assess the landowners for sewer paid for with <br />CDBG funds. Commissioner Fults stated that maybe the west landowners should be <br />encouraged to do what the landowners on the east had to do. <br /> <br />Chairman Greenberg stated that he views using CgBG funds and/or tax incrment <br />funds for municipal services as an effort to keep those existing businesses in <br /> <br />Ms. Norris stated that CgBG funds can be used for lateral sewer lines as a <br />loan; CEBG funds cannot be used for trunk lines. <br /> <br />Con~nissioner Fults stated that at the August 13 Council meeting, it was brought <br />up that Waltek is being fined $25,000 for improper storage of hazardous <br />ch~nicals. ~here is no contamination but the potential is there and PCA has <br />chosen to fine Waltek rather than give the oompany a certain amount of time to <br /> August 14, 1985 <br /> <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
