City Attorney Goodrich replied 12. <br /> <br />Ms. Henke inquired as to how the Council thought the one person felt who is not being included <br />on the map knowing that Ms. Kurak's property was included on a split vote. <br /> <br />Counci hnember Kurak noted that she voted in favor of that amendment. <br /> <br />Ms. Henke stated that Kennedy and Graven seems to be the choice of the City Council for <br />second opinions. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich replied that that was correct. <br /> <br />Ms. Henke stated that she did not think that was a good idea. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich replied that Kennedy & Graven is a premier law firm. <br /> <br />Ms. Henke stated that they get all of the City's cases and that is a direct interest. On December <br />11, 2001, votes were taken regarding land use amendments and an opinion was received <br />regarding that action. Ms. Henke reviewed some of the comments made in Mr. LeFevere's <br />opinion and noted that in the opinion it was stated that a different conclusion could be made and <br />that he did not have all facts. She did not think that Mr. LeFevere's opinion was very legitimate. <br /> <br />David Elvig, thanked Councilmember Kurak for the honorable statement she made. <br /> <br />Darlene Milless, 14550 Ramsey Boulevard NW, Ramsey, stated that she was tired of hearing <br />about whom owns what property. She stated that the jealousy that has come across amongst <br />some of the Councilmembers has to stop. Councilmember Hendriksen has stated many times <br />that he wants to have more tax base. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen replied that that was true, but his actions are not motivated by <br />jealously. <br /> <br />Ms. Milless stated that Councilmember Hendriksen needs to stop the threats because he is the <br />one who started them. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen replied that his action was motivated by the impression of conflict <br />of interest. If Councilmember Kurak vows she will not vote on her own land, then great, but he <br />has a feeling the action will be grouped together with several amendments and she will then vote <br />on her own land. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he would be the first to condemn anyone who voted on an issue that <br />was considered a conflict of interest. There has to be respect amongst the Councilmembers, and <br />all treated fairly because they were all voted in by the citizens of Ramsey. <br /> <br />City Council/January 8, 2002 <br /> Page 24 of 27 <br /> <br /> <br />
