<br />WHAT'S HAPPENING
<br />AT CITY HALL
<br />
<br />City Council met on June 21 and discussed the
<br />proposed amendments to the year 1990 and year
<br />2000 MUSA lines contained in the City's Com-
<br />prehensive Plan. Council approved entering into a
<br />preliminary development agreement with Altron to
<br />prepare plans for site improvements for the Altron
<br />expansion to be financed with tax increment
<br />financing.
<br />
<br />City Council met on June 28 and scheduled a
<br />public hearing for July 14 regarding Atlas In-
<br />cinerator's request for a conditional use permit to
<br />operate contract incinerators in the research portion
<br />of their proposed operation. Through a series of er-
<br />rors on the part of many agencies, Outlot B of Coun-
<br />tryside Estates began to not be treated as park pro-
<br />perty and a building permit for a home was issued.
<br />Council conducted a public hearing to vacate the
<br />property and directed city staff to research an alter-
<br />nate site for park space in Countryside Estates.
<br />Council approved Lord of Life Church's request to
<br />erect a temporary structure to be used for classroom
<br />activities. The North Forty, a plat located north of
<br />Central Park proposed to be developed with 15
<br />single family lots, received final plat approval. Coun-
<br />cil passed a motion to support Anoka County's pro-
<br />posed ordinance to limit the size and/or speed of
<br />boats and motors on the lower Rum River in order
<br />to reduce erosion of the river bank. Council award-
<br />ed the bid for the Central Park Warming House to
<br />Cottonwood Construction. The contract for the 1988
<br />sealcoating projects was awarded to Astech Cor-
<br />poration. It was reported to Council that there is a
<br />dangerous, abandoned building located west of
<br />Autumn Heights; Council requested that the owner
<br />of the building have it removed or destroyed within
<br />30 days.
<br />
<br />Council met on July 12 and approved the site plan
<br />for the Altron expansion. City Staff was directed to
<br />contact Mn/DOT for their input regarding the
<br />possibility of relocating the Burlington Northern
<br />railroad tracks. Council approved a metes and
<br />bounds subdivision to split off a 2.5 acre lot from the
<br />17 acre parcel located at 14640 St. Francis Blvd.
<br />W.B. Miller was awarded the contract for extending
<br />Dysprosium Street to Cty. Rd. #5. A public hearing
<br />was scheduled for August 9 regarding street im-
<br />provements to 156th Avenue and Hematite St. Coun-
<br />cil established a 'no smoking' policy for members
<br />of the Fire Department. An ordinance was adopted
<br />to amend the city charter so that filing for office dates
<br />will correlate with State law. The name of the
<br />Ramsey Landfill Board was changed to the Anoka
<br />Regional Landfill Board; this board, represented by
<br />Anoka County, Anoka and Ramsey, manages the
<br />methane extract project at the landfill on Sunfish
<br />Lake Blvd.

<br />GOT SOMETHING TO SAY?
<br />
<br />Remember Citizen Input. The Ramsey City Coun-
<br />cil, Economic Development Commission, Park
<br />Board, Planning and Zoning Commission, Airport
<br />Commission and Charter Commission all have a
<br />"Citizen Input" time set aside at the beginning of
<br />each meeting. "Citizen Input" permits citizens to ad-
<br />dress Councilor Commissions without first having
<br />to get on the agenda.
<br />If you have something that you would like to bring
<br />to the attention of Councilor Commissions, don't
<br />forget "Citizen Input".
