The Rental Housing <br />Program is a partnership between community development, <br />police, local property owners/managers, and residents to foster a <br />safe and healthy community in rental housing. <br />For more information please contact Katy Ol(erstrom, <br />Community Development - Building Division, at 763-433-9833. <br /> <br />Ramsey's Recycling <br />Program Honored <br /> <br />The city of Ramsey's recycling program was <br />recognized by the Anoka County Board of Com- <br />missioners for its 2007 recycling tonnage total.
