763-433-9817 <br />canderson@cityoframsey.com <br />Project Description <br />The City has a successful curbside recycling program for standard recyclables; however, food and paper <br />waste (organics) constitute the largest component of our waste stream. We would like to research, <br />analyze and implement an optional organics program (whether curbside and/or small scale drop-off) for <br />residents. <br />• What examples exist locally that can reduce demand on local landfills by capturing organic <br />waste? <br />• What barriers exist to successful implementation? <br />• What strategies exist to build capacity and support? <br />Project No. RCP-13: Creating Destination (Retail Market Analysis) <br />Project Lead: <br />Patrick Brama, Assistant City Administrator/Economic Development Manager <br />7550 Sunwood Dr NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />763-433-9868 <br />pbrama@cityoframsey.com <br />Project Description <br />The City has long had a goal to create destinations for the community that includes places to shop, eat, <br />and entertain. There are several market forces that make this goal challenging. There are areas guided <br />for retail growth, and the City employs financial tools to attract these businesses. However, expectations <br />from our community have fallen short. The City desires to study retail market strategies for both <br />traditional (large-format/'big-box') retail as well as strategies to attract a successful, sustainable retail <br />strategy that will add value to the community. <br />• What types of retailers are likely to be attracted to Ramsey? <br />• What marketing approaches could the City consider? <br />• What tools should the community employ that will attract retailers and other destinations to <br />the community, and provide a sustainable business model? <br />Project No. RCP-14: Clean Water, Clean Soil (Septic System Communications Plan) <br />Project Lead: <br />Rick Jarson, Building Official <br />7550 Sunwood Dr NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />City of Ramsey — Resilient Communities Program Application; February, 2017; 2/9/2017 10:30 AM <br />G:\ComDev\Landuse Applications\2016\16-99 Resilient Communities Project\Full Application\Preparation of Application\Resilient Communities <br />Project CC Authorize.docx <br />
