City Engineer Westby reviewed the staff report and recommendation to adopt Resolution #17- 01-029 Accepting the Feasibility Report and Ordering Plans and Specifications for Improvement Project #17-01, Alpine Drive Reconstruction. Councilmember Riley stated that he pulled this item from Consent to receive the information, and for the public to hear that information, on why the road is being repaired so quickly. He stated that they are going to do it right this time. He noted that bond funds will be used for this case and the previous case as the City does not have available MSA funds, even though the roads are MSA routes. Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Councilmember Kuzma, to Adopt Resolution #17-01-029 Accepting Feasibility Report and Ordering Plans and Specifications for Improvement Project #17-01, Alpine Drive Reconstruction. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Strommen, Councilmembers Riley, Kuzma, Johns, and Shryock. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmembers LeTourneau and Williams. 7.09: Consider Adoption of Resolution #17-01-031 Approving an Interim Structure for Community Development Department Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the staff report and recommendation to adopt Resolution #17-01-031 approving the interim structure for the Community Development Depaitinent. The Resolution proposes three specific actions: authorizes an interim structure for the Community Development Department assigning leadership of the Planning Division to the City Planner and assigning leadership of the Building Division to the Building Official; approves a temporary monthly stipend in the amount of $390 per month for the City Planner through December 31, 2017; and recognizes that the City of Ramsey recently approved a market rate adjustment for the Building Official and therefore no wage adjustment is being proposed at this time. Councilmember Johns stated that this seems to make sense for staff and appreciated that staff is always looking for better ways to utilize the resources available. Motion by Councilmember Johns, seconded by Councilmember Shryock, to Adopt Resolution #17-01-031 Approving an Interim Structure for the Community Development Department. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Strommen, Councilmembers Johns, Shryock, Kuzma, Riley, and Shryock. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmembers LeTourneau and Williams. 7.10: Consider Adoption of the 2017 City of Ramsey Legislative Platform City Administrator Ulrich reviewed the staff report and recommendation to adopt the City of Ramsey Legislative Platform as presented, or amended, based on discussion.
