<br />CounciJmember Strommen suggested staff and The Tinklenberg Group rework the proposal to fit <br />the timeline so the City is in the position to move forward with the Ramsey station when the time <br />is right. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig concurred. He pointed out that Mr. Tinklenberg is in a wonderful position <br />to assist Ramsey in showing the opportunities available here with the sense of urgency after the <br />funding comes through. He indicated there had been discussion of lowering the fare for the <br />Ramsey Coach service, and that there may be some emergency funding in place for transit issues <br />that could be used to supplement the fares. <br /> <br />Ms. Haas Steffen indicated there are funds available to draw down that would have to go through <br />transportation. However, there is only a portion of that funding available, as it has been drawn <br />down on to add buses and get more people across the river. She noted the City's bus service <br />agreement is with MnDOT. This can be discussed further with Interim City Administrator <br />Nelson to determine the specifics of the contract and whether it qualifies for this type of funding <br />assistance. <br /> <br />MAYOR, COUNCIL AND STAFF INPUT <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />The Work Session of the City Council was adjourned at 5:48 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Heidi A.
