E. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1. Public Improvement Hearing for Alley Improvements
Jesse Freihammer, City Engineer
A petition was received and signed by 52% of nearby property owners. The improvements identified in
the feasibility report involve drainage and surface improvements. There are three options: delay the
project until a later date, approve only alleyway improvements, or approve both the alley improvements
and storm sewer improvements. The staff recommendation is to delay the project to allow the city to
obtain a more favorable bid and to allow the City to address alley repairs requested by other residents.
Katheryn M., 1512 Idaho Ave
I am supportive of not making a quick decision and studying this further to address broader needs.
Personally, I don't access the alley. I'm curious how I am assessed at the same rate as everyone else and
why.
Crai A. 1490 Idaho Ave
We noticed on the diagram of the existing alley that showed 2 drain holes, there is actually only one.
We're planning on having garage work done this summer and would be in favor of delaying the
improvements until next summer.
Kurt . 1507 Iowa Ave
What is the maintenance plan for alleys? We haven't had a coating applied for years.
Paul E. 1497Iowa Ave
When will we know whether residents have to remove flowerbeds or brick they have installed next to the
alley?

G: POLICY ITEMS:
1. Suite Living Senior Care of Ramsey Project - Supplement and Amendment of a Trust
Indenture
Administrator Thongyanh
The City issued conduit bonding for the Suite Living Senior Care of Ramsey Project. The action requested
is to adopt the attached resolution and authorize the City administrator and mayor to execute all
necessary documents.
Catherine Courtney, Taft Law
This related to a bond issuance that the City did last year for a senior living facility in Ramsey. The owner
has decided they want to pursue other financing, so this is an amendment to the original agreement to
essentially allow for the payment of the initial bonds.
Motion by Council Member Andrews to approve Resolution 21-29 and authorize the City administrator
and mayor to execute all necessary documents;
Approved, 5-0.
