Council Update Stork Pins. Officers received a call of a woman in labor at an address in Ramsey. Upon arrival, the first officer found the woman in her vehicle and in discomfort. The woman advised the officer that the baby was on its way. The officer "checked below" and observed the baby's head crowning. Another officer arrived at this time. The mother was told to push and a baby girl was delivered seconds later. Allina paramedics arrived a few minutes after the delivery was complete. (Ambulance was delayed by a train). Mother, baby and officers are all doing fine. It is unknown if the baby was going to be named Cheryl after Officer Hassel. Officers receive a Stork Pin for delivering a baby. Tobacco Checks. Through an educational tobacco compliance grant through the MN Department of Human Services, the Ramsey Police Department conducted one round of compliance checks on all licensed tobacco vendors in the city. Sixteen vendors were checked, with two failures. Because the focus of the grant is educational, clerks who passed the checks were awarded with certificates. Those who failed were provided with materials to educate them on tobacco laws, compliance, penalties, and how to change their behavior when selling tobacco products. There were no financial penalties to clerks or businesses. The ultimate goal of the grant is to congratulate clerks who are in compliance, provide education on the law, what compliance checks are, why they are important, and penalties that could be assessed. Update on Sweetbay Ridge Phase II. Staff received communication from Greatland Homes, owner of the remainder of Sweetbay Ridge, that they have begun preparing design documents to apply for Preliminary Plat starting in May. Sweetbay Ridge is a single - family residential development east of Variolite Street and was formerly the site of the Saint Anthony Gun Club. There are approximately 80 lots left to be subdivided from the original Preliminary Plat. This timeframe is tentative and subject to change. Staff will begin pre - application review and discussions with the Owner in the coming weeks. Winter is Not Ready to Give up Quite Yet. This week we had two minor plowing events and one city wide plowing event. For those of us keeping score, that's 27 minor events and 14 citywide plowing events this season. The utility department added another frozen water service to their list, bringing the overall number to 27 frozen services this season. The park department, when not helping with snow removal, is busy trimming boulevard trees, and going through mowers and other field maintenance equipment in anticipation of spring.
