<br />is a little separate issue than the site plan. Mr. Lindberg's comments have been heard, but those <br />types of complaints are true for every neighborhood; they are true for her street. There is broken <br />glass in the sandbox at any of the parks. Management of rental properties is not easy. She has <br />experience with her parents condominium that has professional management, and they are not <br />low-income housing. There are problems with management companies all the time; it is part of <br />the nature of the game with associations, rentals or condos. That is not to say Mr. Lindberg's <br />concerns have not been heard. They will do what they can as a City to playa role in addressing <br />it, but she does not tbink it is unique to tbis particular situation and the fact that it is ACCAP or <br />low income housing. Councilmember Jeffrey stated when that project went in at Sunwood Drive <br />he was there for all the meetings and told the residents there that prior to bis time on the Council <br />and Planning Commission he wanted to take an active role in the community. He hears Mr. <br />Lindberg's concerns and would like to have a conversation withbim. That project is in bis ward <br />and he would like to sit down and talk about the concerns that were voiced here tonight because <br />tbis is the fIrst he has heard of these. He agrees these are two separate issues; there has been <br />tragedy in various places in the City and it has nothing to do with an ACCAP project or anything <br />else. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Elvig, Jeffrey, Olson, and <br />Strommen. Voting No: Cbuncilmembers Dehen and Look. <br /> <br />Case #5: <br /> <br />Contracted Towing Services for the City of Ramsey <br /> <br />Police Cbief Way stated at the May 8, 2007 City Council work session, Council decided the <br />towing contract should be opened up to allow for a request for proposals process to provide the <br />service for the City.
