<br />RESOLUTION
<br />ENDORSES STAR OF THE
<br />NORTH GAMES
<br />The Anoka County Board of Commissioners
<br />passed a resolution during the April 13th County
<br />Board mooting endorsing the 1993 Star of the
<br />North Summer Gamos which will host over 10,000
<br />Minnesota athletes from June 25 - 27.
<br />This year marks the sixth anniversary of the
<br />Star of the North Games, Minnesota's largest
<br />annual amatour multi -sport event. The Olympic
<br />style competition provides an opportunity for
<br />people of all ages to compete in 30 different
<br />evonts, roflocting tho diverse abilities of
<br />Minnosota athlelos.
<br />The wide variety of athletic evonts offered for
<br />competition range from team sports like soccer,
<br />basoball, volleyball and wrestling, to individual
<br />sports liko golf, karate, powerlifting and fencing.
<br />The games also include divisions for special and
<br />disablod alhloles.
<br />'11 lakos many rosourcos to host an event that
<br />welcomes so many athletes,' said Anoka County
<br />Commissionor Margaret Langfeld, who believes
<br />the evonts provide an opportunity to showcase the
<br />Countys many athletic venues. 'Anoka County's
<br />8,000 acres of park and recreation space, along
<br />with the many recroational facilities offered by the
<br />sponsor citios and communities, make this area
<br />the perfect place to host the games.
<br />'Coordinating efforts for an event of this size
<br />is a Tremendous job,' continued Langfeld. 'The
<br />Star of the North Games have received generous
<br />support from many communities who will serve as
<br />host for the evonts - communitios such as Anoka,
<br />Blaine, Coon Rapids, Centerville, Lexington, Lino
<br />Lakos, Spring Lake Park, Circle Pines, Fridley,
<br />Mounds Viow and Now Brighton.'
<br />'However, the reason for the recent County
<br />Board action was to urgo residents and
<br />corporations to add their support through
<br />vofunlooring limo, donating monetarily or making
<br />in -kind contributions,' said Langleld.
<br />Because tho competition is open to all ages
<br />and a wide variety of sports, expectations for a
<br />record crowd aro high.' Commissioner Langfeld
<br />commended further, in 1991 we had over 10,000
<br />athletes competo and that number continues to
<br />riso evory yoar. We hope that our support of the
<br />games will promote hoallh and fitness as well as
<br />bring our communities doser together through the
<br />spirit el competition.'
<br />Rogistration for ovonts is taking place now.
<br />Furthor information regarding the amateur athletic
<br />competition, volunteering or contributions is

<br />RESIDENT'S SUGGESTIONS
<br />ON ROAD NAMES REQUESTED
<br />At an April 1, 1993, meeting of the Road and Bridge Committee, one topic of discussion
<br />was how to alleviate confusion associated with the names of two collector streets serving
<br />the City. Sunfish Lake Drive N.W. is a new east/west collector street which will eventually
<br />run from T.H. N47, south of 149th Avenue N.W. to County Road N116 near the Altron
<br />Company. Portions of this new street have boon constructed in the now Wood Pond Hills
<br />and Sunny Ponds subdivisions located south of City Hall along County Road N5. Obviously
<br />the name Sunfish Lake Drive N.W. is very similar to Sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W. (C.R.
<br />N57) which is also a major thoroughfare in the City. (See bold linos on the map below to
<br />show the streets for renaming.)
<br />A socond thoroughfare considorod for renaming is 153rd/1551h Avenues. Because of the
<br />importanco of this roadway, it would bo less confusing for it to have a single descriptive name.
<br />The Road and Bridge Committee bolt it would be worthwhile to obtain citizen input in
<br />considoring appropriate namos for thoso two roadways. Possible namos could be rolalod to
<br />Ramsoy's historic past, or to geographic or man-made teaturos.
<br />If you have a suggestion, please stop by, call us at 427-1410 or return the form below to
<br />Ramsoy Municipal Building, 15153 Nowthon Blvd N.W. Ramsey, MN 55303 by 5 p.m.
<br />Friday, Juno 25, 1993. Tho Road and Bridgo Committee will bo roviowing these
<br />suggoslions and making a recommendation to the City Council in July.
<br />If now road namos are soloctod, the City will need to hold a public hearing and pass an
<br />ordinance dosignaling tho chango. Properties affoctod by an addross chango will be
<br />notified by letter.
