PROCEEDINGS OF CITY COUNCIL <br /> CITY OF RAMSE¥ <br /> ANOKA COUNTY <br /> STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />A special meeting of the Ramsey City Council was held on Tuesday, May 4, <br />1982 at the Ramsey Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Blvd. N.W., Ramsey, <br />Minnesota. <br /> <br />Members Present: <br /> <br />Mayor Thomas Gamec <br />Councilmember Arnie Cox <br />Councilmember A1 Sorteberg <br />Councilmember Gary Reimann <br />Councilmember Sue Van Wagner <br /> <br />Also Present: <br /> <br />City Administrator Lloyd Schnelle <br />City Attorney William Goodrich <br />City Engineer Peter Raatikka <br />City Building Official Clayton Berg <br />Reporter Eric Sandin <br />Jeff Roos, CED <br /> <br />The special meeting of the Ramsey City Council was called to order at 5:20 p.m. <br />Mayor Gamec led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec - Informed Council members and audience that Peter Raatikka is <br />terminating his employment at CED. He further stated that the City has <br />enjoyed working with Mr. Raatikka and that he has served the City of Ramsey <br />well. As far as CED is concerned, Mr. Raatikka has represented them excellently <br />and the City has had no problems with CED. This same situation has occurred <br />in the past, and there was no problem switching to another engineer within <br />the firm of CED, who happened to be Peter Raatikka. Mr. Raatikka has been <br />more a part of Ramsey staff than CED staff. We are now faced with the decision <br />of what to do for a City Engineer. Should we continue with CED or interview <br />other engineering firms? <br /> <br />Jeff Roos - CED - I was very surprised when Mr. Raatikka turned in his <br />resignation. The firm of CED is going to miss him. CED appreciated having <br />Ramsey for a client and we have tried to do our best for Ramsey. We would <br />love to continue to provide engineering services to Ramsey. There are a <br />couple of gentlemen at CED who come from the same mold as Mr. Raatikka. <br />Council could meet them, conduct an interview, make your decision and CED <br />would begin to train a new engineer for Ramsey. We have all data necessary <br />in our office regarding the City of Ramsey, to train another engineer to work <br />with Ramsey. One of those gentlemen is Robert Isaakson, recently appointed <br />to your Zoning Commission. The other is John Gilbertson, who has been with <br />CED for 5 or 6 years and has served as City Engineer for Milaca. Whatever <br />the Council's decision, CED will cooperate with Ramsey either internally <br />within our firm or if you wish to go through a selection process. CED is <br />sorry to lose Mr. Raatikka and we will have a problem replacing him. <br /> <br />Sp C/May 4, 1982 <br />Page I <br /> <br /> <br />
