CC Regular Session <br />Meeting Date: 12/13/2022 <br />By: Brian Hagen, Administrative Services <br />Information <br />5. 7. <br />Title <br />Approve Memorandum of Understanding (MOA) between City of Ramsey & United States Department of <br />Veterans Affairs <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The city has received a request to allow a vehicle to be parked within the Municipal Parking Ramp next to City <br />Hall. The vehicle would be used to transport veterans to VA clinics and hospitals. As part of the request, the <br />Minnesota and the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, Minneapolis VA Health Care System <br />(MVAHCS) is seeking a Memorandum of Understanding granting a permit to park in the ramp as such. City <br />Attorney Knaak has reviewed the permit and has no changes. If approved, staff will work to identify a specific <br />parking stall to dedicate to the use. <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />The Municipal Parking Ramp has 793 stalls. Stall allocation allows 350 for transit, 275 for Residence at the <br />COR, 143 for City Hall and 25 unallocated. Based on this information, there are excess stalls open for public <br />use. Furthermore, visual observation of how the ramp is utilized today for parking needs shows several unused <br />stalls throughout the day. Annually the City adopts a budget for maintenance costs, two parties are responsible <br />for the costs. The City pays for the transit, City Hall and unallocated stalls, and the Residence at the COR pays <br />for their portion covering their 275 stalls. Under the proposal being considered, the City would not charge <br />maintenance costs to MVAHCS. <br />Alternative 1: Approve the MOU as presented. Staff supports this alternative. <br />Alternative 2: Approve the MOU with changes <br />Alternative 3: Do not approve the MOU. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of the MOU as presented. <br />Action: <br />Motion to approve Permit For Use of City of Ramsey Property by the Minnesota and the United States <br />Department of Veterans Affairs, Minneapolis VA Health Care System. <br />MOU <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Brian Hagen Brian Hagen 12/08/2022 12:39 PM <br />Form Started By: Brian Hagen Started On: 12/06/2022 08:16 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 12/08/2022 <br />
