REPORT ON CITY'S SPRING EVENTS By: Jo Thieling, Deputy City Clerk As you are aware, the City of Ramsey is host to a number of spring events, including a Pet Clinic, Recycling Day, Tree Sale and Environmental Expo. This year, all the events were held on Saturday, April 24, 1999. In the past, the City has also sponsored the Becky Weiss Bike Road-eo, however, the Road-eo was not held this year. Following is a brief summary of activity related to each event: Pet Clinic: The 1999 Pet Clinic was again held in the Police Department garage from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Reduced cost vaccinations were provided by AMVET of Elk River. · 213 Canine Rabies · 74 Feline Rabies · 82 Feline Pan RC-C-P We do not have a count on the Distemper vaccinations as there was no administrative fee added onto it. The administrative charge placed on the vaccinations by the City amounted to $943. A check, in that amount, was received from the veterinarian clinic on May 6, 1999. The City also offers discounted pet licenses on the day of the Clinic. This year, 33 cat licenses were issued and 198 dog licenses, for a total of $819. The Pet CIinic is well received by the Ramsey residents. They appreciated the discounted rates for vaccinations and licenses. The discounts provide a win-win situation for the City, its residents and the pets!! Recycling Day: The 1999 Spring Recycling Drop-off Day was very well attended.
