Discuss Collecting and Compiling Ramsey City Policies

This case was originally scheduled on the May 10, 2022 agenda; however, due to time constraints, it was moved to this evening's agenda,  This case is being requested by Councilmembers Musgrove and Howell.  Staff supports this project.

At an April 12, 2022 meeting with the City Clerk, City Attorney and Councilmembers Musgrove and Howell, a discussion regarding Charter Commission and Boards & Commissions policies led to a conversation about a lack of knowledge regarding the whereabouts of all City of Ramsey policies and a need was identified.  It would be beneficial to compile all Ramsey city policies into one place, preferably the City's website for both transparency and availability to the public.  The outcome should be increased efficiency and accuracy.

In addition to what was written when this case was on the May 10, 2022 agenda, staff would like clarity with regard to the City Council's direction as to the depth and breadth of this work, process for establishing new policies; as well as its timing.

Up to 10 minutes.

Potential funds from City Administrator vacancy.

Provide direction to staff for increased hours of an existing employee to assist with the task.  Estimated at 5 hours per week until project is complete.

Provide City Council with biweekly email updates/link to all policies.

Gather policies into one location on the City website.
