Councilmember Kuzma commented that it could be helpful to have a link on the City website <br /> with videos of staff explaining how to pull a permit, or when a fire permit is necessary. <br /> Councilmember Heinrich stated that she has heard a consistent message from residents that they <br /> would like more information shared on social media or the City website. She noted that there is <br /> a misunderstanding that the Ramsey community Facebook page may be connected to City Hall, <br /> rather than a separate community page created by residents. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated that residents often wonder the features that are available in the <br /> community, amenities in the park and things that they can do in the community that could help <br /> them explore Ramsey. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated that the MRT Trail could be promoted. <br /> City Administrator Ulrich asked how the Council would like to see the City connect with the <br /> community through communications in the future. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau stated that he still thinks of the high level of response that the City receives <br /> from the City newsletter, as that continues to be a good source of information for the community. <br /> He wondered if that trend will continue in the future. <br /> Councilmember Shryock stated that the nice thing is that the newsletter goes to everyone's door <br /> and is the most direct form of communication. She stated that technology can be used to further <br /> connect with residents looking for additional information. She noted that people may not be <br /> comfortable coming to City Hall to ask questions but would be interested in learning more if the <br /> information was available online. <br /> Councilmember Heinrich agreed with the comments of Councilmember Shryock that the <br /> newsletter goes to everyone's door and includes helpful information. She agreed that digital <br /> information could expand on that information. <br /> Councilmember Riley agreed that the newsletter is the number one form of communication <br /> because it is delivered to everyone's door. He stated that QCTV is cable based, but only a <br /> fraction of the community uses cable television and therefore the information should also be <br /> available online. He stated that perhaps QCTV should advertise as well to expand their viewer <br /> base. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau stated that the broadcast system is trending less, while internet-based <br /> broadcasting is an increasing trend. He stated that perhaps QCTV explore additional methods of <br /> providing its content. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma asked if there is opportunity for QCTV to take advantage of the <br /> broadband interne access. <br /> City Council Work Session /March 26,2019 <br /> Page 4 of 9 <br />
