CITY COUNCIL <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br />ANOKA COUNTY <br />STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />The Ramsey City Council conducted a regular meeting on Tuesday, June 24, 1997, at the <br />Ramsey Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW, Ramsey, Minnesota. <br /> <br />Members Present: <br /> <br />Mayor Thomas Gamec <br />Councilmember Carolyn Beahen <br />Councilmember Natalie Haas Steffen <br />Councilmember Gerald Zimmerman <br /> <br />Members Absent: Councilmember Sheila Beyer <br /> <br />Also Present: <br /> <br />City Administrator Ryan Schroeder <br />Finance Officer Jessie Hart <br />Administrative Services Manager Linda Waite Smith <br />City Engineer Steve Jankowski <br />Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik <br />City Attorney William Goodrich <br />Community Development Intern Kirk Skoog <br /> <br />CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec called the regular meeting of the City Council to order at 7:09 p.m. and led in the <br />Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. <br /> <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />Steve Kapp, 7451 ~ 149th Avenue NW, Ramsey - commented on the large amount of traffic by <br />his home and requested a cul-de-sac or speed bumps. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec was familiar with the area as he had received other complaints and had requested <br />extra patrol. It was determined that the majority of tickets issued were to people local to that <br />neighborhood. He expressed opposition to speed bumps. He stated the City can look at putting <br />in stop signs, etc., but it's tough to regulate the traffic speed. <br /> <br />Mr. Kapp felt that most of the speeders may be from the neighborhood, but not from that street. <br />He stated that people do drive slower when they see a patrol car in the neighborhood, however, <br />he felt it would be better if the people didn't see the patrol car and would then get ticketed. <br /> <br />Chief Gustafson disagreed as he felt the idea of added patrol is to make the traffic that is going <br />too fast slow down and ifa visible patrol car slows down the traffic, then it is doing the job. <br /> <br />City Council/June 24, 1997 <br /> Page 3 of 17 <br /> <br /> <br />
