<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 o1 the
<br />North Summor Games which will host over 10,000
<br />Minnesota athletes from June 25 - 27.
<br />This year marks tho 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 />evonls, reflecting the diverse abilities of
<br />Minnesota athletes.
<br />Tho wide variety of athletic events offered for
<br />competition range from team sports like soccer,
<br />baseball, volloyball and wrestling, to individual
<br />sports like golf, karate, powerlifting and fencing.
<br />The games also include divisions for special and
<br />disabled alhloles.
<br />'It takos many rosourcos to host an ovont that
<br />welcomes so many athletes,' said Anoka County
<br />Commissionor Margarot Langfeld, who believes
<br />the events provide an opportunity to showcase the
<br />County's many athletic venues. 'Anoka County's
<br />8,000 acros of park and recreation space, along
<br />with the many rocroalional facilities ollered by the
<br />sponsor cities 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 Gamos have received generous
<br />support from many communities who will serve as
<br />hos! for the ovonts - communitios such as Anoka,
<br />Blaine, Coon Rapids, Centerville, Lexington, Lino
<br />Lakos, Spring Lako Park, Circle Pines, Fridley,
<br />Mounds Viow and Now Brighton.'
<br />' However, tho roason for the rocent County
<br />Board action was to urgo rosidonts and
<br />corporations to add their support through
<br />voluntooring lime, donating monetarily or making
<br />in -kind contributions," said Langfeld.
<br />Bocauso tho competition is open 10 all ages
<br />and a wide variety of sports, expectations tor a
<br />record crowd aro high.' Commissioner Langfeld
<br />commondod further, 'In 1991 we had over 10,000
<br />athletes compete and that number continues to
<br />riso evory year. We hope that our support of the
<br />garnos will promote hoallh and fitness as well as
<br />bring our communitios closer together through the
<br />spirit of competition.'
<br />Registration for evonts is taking place now.

<br />RESIDENT'S SUGGESTIONS
<br />ON ROAD NAMES REQUESTED
<br />At an April 1, 1993, mooting 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. #47, south of 149th Avenue N.W. to County Road #116 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 05. Obviously
<br />the name Sunfish Lake Drive N.W. is very similar to Sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W. (C.R.
<br />#57) which is also a major thoroughfare in the City. (See bold linos on the map below to
<br />show tho stroots for renaming.)
<br />A socond thoroughfare considered for renaming is 153rd/155th Avenuos. Bocauso of the
<br />importanco of this roadway, it would bo less confusing for it to have a single descriptive name.
<br />Tho Road and Bridge Committee felt it would be worthwhile to obtain citizen input in
<br />considoring appropriate namos for those two roadways. Possible namos could be related to
<br />Ramsoy's historic past, or to geographic or man-made foaturos.
<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. Ramsoy, MN 55303 by 5 p.m.
<br />Friday, Juno 25, 1993. The Road and Bridge Committeo will be roviowing those
<br />suggostions and making a recommondation to the City Council in July.
<br />If now road namos are solectod, the City will need to hold a public hearing and pass an
<br />ordinanco dosignating tho change. Proportios affoctod by an address change will be
<br />nolifiod by loltor.
