equipment needs. Attached to the Weekly Update is the Full Standard and Poor's Rating Services Report. Report from Public Works. Public Works crews have been busy scraping and salting city roads trying to remove the ice and hard pack snow from the storm on November 10 With the early arrival of winter and lack of chemicals on the road, the snow bonded tightly to the road surface. Crews have the arterials in good winter driving condition, but the side roads continue to be troublesome. The utility department finished up two important projects before winter finally set in for good. With the help of a contractor and the city of Anoka utility department they were able to replace a defective elbow at the bottom of lift station 92. Not a pleasant job, no matter what time of year! The other project was to make adjustments to an inside drop in a manhole at the intersection of Sunfish Lk Blvd and Bunker Lk Blvd. This project needed the cooperation of Anoka County Highway and we contracted with Warning Lites of Minnesota for the traffic control. With the unseasonably cold weather, the park department is busy flooding our skating rinks and actually has skateable ice! The Central Park rinks and warming house, will be open the Friday after Thanksgiving to give people a chance to get an early jump on the skating season. With the help of Connexus Energy, the Holiday tree has been "planted" and decorated. The official lighting of the tree will be held Tuesday, December 9 at 6:30 pm in front of City Hall. City of Ramsey Garden Club Adds Holiday D6cor to the Ramsey Municipal Center.

Once again, the Ramsey Municipal Center is serving as a drop -off location of the Recycle Your Holidays program hosted by the Recycling Association of Minnesota. Now through the end of January, 2015, you can drop off old holiday lights at the Municipal Center to be properly recycled at no cost to you! This program not only diverts valuable materials from being landfilled but also creates jobs for individuals with developmental disabilities as they assist with the collection and sorting of the strands of light. So, whether you've found some old lights that no longer work or have decided to upgrade to more energy efficient LED lights, through January of 2015 you can drop off your old lights to be recycled for free!
