<br />PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br />ANOKA COUNTY <br />STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />The Public Works Committee conducted a regular meeting on Tuesday, September 17, 2019, at <br />the Ramsey Municipal Center, 7550 Sunwood Drive NW, Ramsey, Minnesota. <br /> <br />Members Present: Chairperson Mark Kuzma <br /> Councilmember Nadine Heinrich <br /> Councilmember Chris Riley <br /> <br />Also Present: Public Works Superintendent Grant Riemer <br />City Engineer Bruce Westby <br />Police Chief Jeff Katers <br /> <br />1. CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br />Chairperson Kuzma called the regular meeting of the Public Works Committee to order at 5:30 <br />p.m. <br /> <br />2. CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />Bruce King, Alpine Acres Board member, stated that he has received a fair amount of inquiries <br />about lowering the speed limit. He referred to the newly adopted State law which allows speed <br />limits to be reduced to 25 mph and asked that the City reduce the speed limit. He noted that in the <br />past the speed trailer was used to deter speeding vehicles, but the speeding just continues once the <br />speed trailer is removed. He requested that the 25-mph speed limit be enacted within Alpine Acres. <br />He confirmed that the spur streets are privately maintained, but there are City streets as well. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley noted that if the change is made it would need to be enacted city wide and <br />asked if the resident would also support that. <br /> <br />Mr. King stated that his concern is specific to Alpine Acres. <br /> <br />Chairperson Kuzma stated that patrol activity could be increased within the development in <br />attempt to slow the speed of traffic. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley stated that the people that are speeding are the people within that <br />development and therefore it would be helpful for the homeowners’ association to assist in policing <br />that activity. <br /> <br />Mr. King agreed but noted that residents would not respond the same to the Association Board as <br />they would to the City. <br /> <br />3.
