Joint City Monument Entry Signs The City of Ramsey has budgeted in 1995 to construct monument entry signs on the T.H. #10 at the Anoka Vocational School and at S.R. #47 and C.R. #116. Ramsey requested Anoka participation in joint signage at these locations. Councilmember Cotten requested additional information on the signs. Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization Joint Powers Agreement The City of Ramsey has not agreed to the amended joint powers agreement for the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization. The points of contention include voting balance and future capital projects. It was suggested that Ramsey Attorney Goodrich review the agreements and present recommendations.
