More <br />than 400 children participated in the seventh annual Becky Weiss Memorial Bike Road-eo in <br />May. Assisting the Police Department with the event were the Ramsey Lions, Ramsey Women <br />of Today, the Weiss family, the Fire Department, members of the Anoka Police Department, and <br />numerous community businesses and residents. <br /> Several major storms in 1998, gave the City's public safety agencies more opportunities to <br />prove how capable they are of responding to emergency situations. On May 15, and again on <br />May 29, hail and high winds damaged property, interrupted utilities and blocked roads with <br />fallen trees. The Police, Fire and Public Works departments assisted with immediate needs and <br />with clean up efforts. <br /> Late in 1998, the Police Department received a $1,000 State of Minnesota grant to assist <br />with snowmobile enforcement. The department's efforts in this area are also supported by the <br />use of a snowmobile donated by a local dealer and the aid of five volunteers from the Snow <br />Rams snowmobile club. The Police Department also received a $1,000 Minnesota Safe and <br />Sober Traffic Enforcement grant. The focus on this grant is seat belt usage and DWI laws. <br /> <br />General Operations <br /> <br /> The Ramsey City Council adopted the 1999 tax levy and General Fund operating budget on <br />December 8, 1999. The certified levy for 1999 is $2,499,462, of which $2,492,669 is for <br />General Fund operations and $6,793 is for repayment of General Obligation debt. <br /> <br /> <br />
