Chairperson Steffen noted that there is not a purpose to go into closed session at this time as <br />pricing is not going to be discussed. <br /> <br />Member Riley stated that the pricing was updated about six months ago and agreed that the <br />process could continue to be updated as the experts see necessary. <br /> <br />Member Burandt asked if the intent of the Bolton & Menk study would be for the City to make <br />these sites shovel ready/pad ready by bringing the necessary fill in. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Gladhill explained that the decision has not yet been made <br />and the EDA will be involved in those discussions. He stated that a recent developer chose to <br />make the infrastructure investments themselves upfront through an agreement with the City. <br /> <br />Chairperson Steffen asked for details on the land sale proceeds. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Gladhill explained that current land sale proceeds are paying <br />back an interfund loan and once that is paid back, proceeds would be distributed per the City <br />policy. <br /> <br />4.03: 2018 City of Ramsey Resident Survey <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Chairperson Steffen noted that this is a lot of data and asked if there are action items developed <br />from the data. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated that the survey is used when developing goals and action items <br />for the strategic planning process. <br /> <br />Member Burandt stated that he does not view a Wisconsin community as Ramsey’s peer group <br />and would think the neighboring communities are the peer group of the City. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated that the survey looks at midwestern communities because <br />weather and infrastructure needs are similar. He stated that it is intended to be a broader view, <br />narrowed down by geographical areas. He stated that he could reach out to determine if a more <br />specific metro breakdown could be obtained. <br /> <br />Chairperson Steffen asked if other Anoka County communities use the same company for their <br />surveys. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated that he was unsure how many communities use the firm but <br />confirmed that some cities also use the same firm. <br /> <br />5.
