City Administrator Ulrich stated that a large portion of the discussion can be deferred to a future <br /> worksession. He invited Elwyn Tinklenberg to come forward and discuss the City's continued <br /> number one priority, which is transportation. He reviewed the additional priorities included in <br /> the platform as proposed and recommended that the Council defer action to a future worksession. <br /> Elwin Tinklenberg stated that it was great to hear the person proposing the hotel, whom stated <br /> that the reason that makes sense is because of the groundwork the City has done. He noted that <br /> the same can be said about transportation. He noted that a priority of the Chair of the <br /> Transportation Committee is to continue the NorthStar to St. Cloud. He recognized the <br /> importance of the work that Bolton & Menk is doing by completing the study, which will put <br /> Ramsey in a great position as improvements are being planned and will occur in both Anoka and <br /> Elk River. He believed that there would be significant progress around issues that Ramsey has <br /> been promoting for years, and that will be a moment bright with opportunity. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau expressed appreciation for the continued input and support from Mr. <br /> Tinklenberg. <br /> City Administrator Ulrich stated that Mr. Tinklenberg also represents the City on multiple other <br /> groups and committees. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Councilmember Riley, to defer the 2019 <br /> Legislative Initiatives to a future worksession. <br /> Motion carried.
