PRESENTATION <br />2.01: Presentation Regarding Ramsey’s Historic Town Hall / School Survey <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich introduced Ms. Erickson, a resident who has been interested for years <br />in Ramsey’s historic Town Hall. He explained the City has invested enough to keep the building <br />properly maintained and repaired and recently there has been interest from private businesses. <br />Staff estimated costs for rehabilitation but in the current construction environment, it was <br />determined to not be feasible to move forward. City Administrator Ulrich stated Ms. Erickson <br />organized a resident survey relating to Ramsey’s historic Town Hall and is present tonight to share <br />those findings. <br /> <br />th <br />Betty Erickson, 5500 164 Lane, stated she has lived in Ramsey for 35 years and thanked the City <br />for its efforts in preserving the old Ramsey School House/Town Hall. She noted this brick building <br />on Highway 47 is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. Ms. Erickson shared the <br />findings from an informal resident survey she conducted during Ramsey’s Happy Days, noting of <br />the five suggestions received, three came out on top: a teen/senior center, a multi-purpose <br />community center, and an arts venue. Ms. Erickson explained this survey is a brief snapshot of <br />what Ramsey residents were thinking on that one particular day but she thinks it shows a clear <br />interest in opening the doors to a renovated historic building. <br />City Council / October 12, 2021 <br />Page 2 of 7 <br /> <br />
