<br />7. April 19, 1988 - Airport zoning was resound1y defeated by <br />ci tb:ens. <br />We have triea to follow City policy throughout this whole chain of events, <br />but we can't keep up with City policy. <br /> <br />First, citizens have to petition if they want to vote; so we petition door <br />to door in the cold and snow, just before Christmas. Then, policy changes; <br />the fire dep:lrtment issue is added to our ballot. Then a permit is needed <br />to put up signs; we get the permit; suddenly no Figns are allowed. <br /> <br />We have been harrassed, both on the P'lone and in person; one of our helpers <br />was called a 'god damn stupid idiot' in a public place by a counci1rnember. <br />We knew that fighting this issue wouldn't be easy, but we dicin' t know that <br />thE policy of the City woulo be changea to our disadvantage. We feel that <br />our rights as citizens have been not just stepped or., but trampled. The <br />time has come for-you to rectify this. The citizens have shown how they <br />feel about the airport. What you gentlemen should show now is your faith <br />in the citizens of Ramsey. An ordinance directing yourselves and upcoming <br />Councils to stay out of the airport business is in order. We will craft <br />and initiate one if we have to, but we are requesting that you don't force <br />us to do that. We feel it would be to everyone I s advantage if you directed <br />.your staff to work with us on an ordinance of this type, for your <br />approval. II <br /> <br />Raney Hite- 4572 117th Avenue-N.~~. - Inquired as to the consequences if <br />if Ramsey, Yunnesota or the 1-1etropo.litan Airport Commission do not gain <br />control of the Gateway North Airport ana that property is solo for other <br />uses. Mr. Bite stated that the existence of the airport plays a major part <br />in Ramsey not being selected for another landfill site. <br /> <br />'J:.;PPRCJVPJ..
