She said there is nothing more important than having a place where neighbors can get together to get things done like they can on a Council. Randy Keiser, 16967 Bison Street NW, came forward and asked if the City is committed to the health and safety of each and every resident. He shared that he had an incident, had to call the Police Department about an issue, and every time he has called he has been told there is nothing they can do about it. He explained that his neighbors will have outdoor fires burning for their furnaces and sometimes the wind will blow smoke into his home. He added that he has contacted the EPA, the MPCA, and the Ramsey Police Department. He said that he has been sent to the doctor due to the effects of this smoke.
