M~lrch l 0, 2005 <br /> <br />'i'o: Mayor Thomas Gamec <br /> Council Members: Mary Jo Olson, Todd Cook <br />Sarah Strommen, David Jeffrey, David Elvig, A1 Pearson <br /> <br />My husband Mike and I attended the Planning Commission Meeting held on March 3, <br />2005. I sat and reflected the education I was receiving byjust being present. For that, I <br />would like to Thank You as a Committee for allowing citizens to attend and grow. <br /> <br />As I sat and listened to both the citizens of Ramsey and the members on the Planning <br />Commission, I needed to ask myself a few questions ..... <br /> <br />l. Who and how are these decisions made on the following: <br /> <br />How bad do the roads need to be before anything is done? From what I gathered <br />from both sides, our roads and highways are already over abused and we want to <br />add more traffic on them? <br /> <br />How many students need to be in an already over crowded classroom or <br />transferred to a different location before it is considered OVERCROWDED and a <br />new school is needed. Mr. Peterson himself was a teacher I understand on the <br />board and he informed us that Ramsey will not build until the need is there... <br />Maybe we should be asking some of the teachers, parents, bus drivers and <br />students themselves that need extra help and are falling between the cracks due to <br />the over crowded what they think and feel.. They are our leaders tomorrow and <br />are we giving them all we can now? <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />ttow many more people in a square mile are we going to be adding for the police <br />to cover and help when the force is already stretched to the limits. There is talk of <br />a ramp going up at the City Center. Will that be for more police? <br /> <br />5. I am very confused on how Mr. Peterson perceives Transition and would like a <br /> ciarification on that. <br /> <br />[ do not have a problem with growth and development as I have stated before but <br />thcre seems to be so many questions that appear backwards rather than forward. I <br />would ask ALL of you to PLEASE watch and review the tape on the Planning <br />Commission Meeting and hear the concerns of not only the citizens but also the <br />concerns of the members on the Planning Commission themselves. <br /> <br />Then after reviewing the tape of the meeting, I would ask each of you to respond <br />within yourself with an honest clear conscious and say that to proceed with this <br />t?ro. bosal is good and right. I myself cannot do it due to the fact there is <br /> just <br /> too <br /> many <br /> <br /> <br />
