Fire Chief Kapler reiterated that the quick response was not the result of a 911 call, but that <br />Captain Sharp was on the scene and that the injured player could not have been in better hands. <br /> <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec explained that there will be a public hearing in the future in regards to the Pulte <br />proposal, but a couple of representatives from the neighborhood would be allowed to address the <br />Council when the case is discussed. <br /> <br />Eric Watson, 6000 146th Avenue NW, Ramsey, stated that he was asked by his neighbors to <br />speak in regards to the Pulte development. He requested that the item be moved to the top of the <br />agenda since there were so many residents in attendance regarding the matter and many had <br />young children at home. He also acknowledged that the residents understand that Pulte has an <br />opportunity to make their presentation, but he wanted to make sure the residents would also have <br />the opportunity to express their concerns to the Council. <br /> <br />Barry Childs, 6040 151st Lane NW, Ramsey, stated that he wanted to address the Council in <br />regards to the Comprehensive Plan. He explained that he attended a meeting that the City <br />Council had to discuss the Comprehensive Plan. The main focus during the discussion was on <br />diverse housing in regards to townhomes, apartments, lifecycle housing, and the need in the <br />community. Mr. Childs stated that the Comprehensive Plan is comprehensive, however it still <br />seemed as if there was a perception that lifecycle housing will cheapen the community, and the <br />construction of only single family homes would help preserve the quality of life. He explained <br />that there was a comment made during the meeting by a Councilmember that surrounding <br />communities offer other type of housing and if that is what people are looking for then they <br />should move to those communities. A staff member responded that there are people who may <br />want to live in Ramsey for the rest of their life. Mr. Childs stated that in the future he will <br />probably want a place to live maintenance free and he doesn't feel he should be kicked out of the <br />community to do so. <br /> <br />APPROVE AGENDA <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec requested that Case g 5 be moved to the top of the agenda. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman stated that Case g5 will now be Case A and the Personnel <br />Committee Case gl will now be Case B. He also added Finance Committee Case g4 and City <br />Council Case gl0. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman, to approve <br />the agenda as amended. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
