June 25, 1971 <br /> <br />RAMSEY MAYOR 8: CITY COUNCILMEMBERS <br />C i ty of Ramsey <br />15153 No~.¢then Bl~.,d. <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Dear Mayor & Councilmembers: <br /> <br />Thank you in your logical ~ceduction of property taxes in the <br />Riverside West Development. Businesses, homes and others <br />have suffered financially and emotionally since last April <br />20, 1990. <br /> <br />Unable to speak totally or realistically about any others <br />than ourselves, we would like at this time to state: <br /> <br />We have actively pursued the selling of our <br />Riverside West property. We had a very interested <br />buyer but then when the Adult Bookstore became <br />our neighbor the sale was lost. <br />Since April -20, 1991 we have seen a steady decline <br />in the child care enrollment. <br />In March 1990 we expanded our family orientated- <br />family run business to include an infant program. <br />We s. at~ such a need but our- dream was crushed in <br />April 1990. <br /> <br />Our time, energy and finances were from that time forward <br />depleted. Ele had to install a security system, we were told <br />repeatedly by clients of their fears. Even though the <br />families that were in our center remained, new family <br />enrollment declined. <br /> <br />We have opened a new'facility - many of our families are <br />transferring out of fear. They stayed because of loyalty to <br />us, but now with other options they breathe easier moving <br />On. <br /> <br />We are aware that the thriving Adult Bookstore will not even <br />be attempted to be moved before December 31, 1791. With that <br />in mind, and the Knowledge that large sums of rnoney have <br />been budgeted for this area alone, we make a request for our <br />business to receive some type of funding to allot,., us to <br />remain operational until this matter is resolved. <br /> <br />tge Know we are a needed business, we were thriving until the <br />Adult Bookstore came about and we ~ant the opportunity to <br />stay around until the bookstore is either relocated or the <br />city purchases our business so we can once again be a <br />thriving business. <br /> <br />We make a request for $50,000.00 that wilt allow us to <br />remain operational. We feel we are justified in this <br />request and ask you for your serious consideration in this <br />matter. <br /> <br /> ~ Sen t>'rz <br />6740 Highwmy 10 N.W. <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br /> <br />
