CHARTER AMENDMENT: The City of Ramsey Charter Commission met on Thursday, October 20, 1988 and reviewed the status report on the proposed amendment to the City Charter including a chapter entitled "Police Department". After their review, the Charter Commission suggested amendments to the proposed Charter amendment and requests that the City Council unanimously adopt the revised proposed Charter amendment. Reasons which were given were that the Charter amendment would not be inconsistent with the City Charter and that by adopting the amendment the City of Ramsey could forego the cost of a special election. Enclosed is a copy of the proposed Charter amendment. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST OF WASTE MANAGEMENT OF MINNESOTA, INC.: Mr. Don Otter of Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc. contacted City Administrator Dave Hartley via telephone and requested that Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc.'s conditional use permit request be withdrawn from the City Council agenda until some future date. The City Council may, at WMMI's request, table this item. However, the Council should recognize that the City's zoning regulations require that an action be taken by the City Council within 30 days after receipt of the conditional use permit request from the Planning and Zoning Commission (before November 25, 1988). Enclosed is a letter zrom Mr. Terry Miller of WMMI. DRH:pjc
