He stated that the Council desired additional language <br />related to a temporary situation, using the example of a fire that displaces a resident, but they <br />intend to return to the property when able. He reviewed the proposed language to be incorporated. <br />Commissioner Leistico commented that this seems reasonable. <br />Commissioner Fuhreck stated that the example of a fire makes sense. He asked if it was mentioned <br />that the temporary living space must be in Ramsey. <br />City Administrator Hagen commented that it should be reasonable to find a temporary living space <br />in Ramsey, given the number of apartment buildings and single-family homes available for rent. <br />Chairperson Field agreed that it would be reasonable to require the temporary residence to be in <br />Ramsey. <br />Commissioner Leistico recognized that it would be the decision of the insurance company as to <br />the options the resident would have for temporary placement. <br />Charter Commission/ July 17, 2025 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
