I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />i <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Mayor and Councilmembers <br /> <br />City Administrator <br /> <br />Staff Report for August 1983 <br /> <br />1) Finance - The following is submitted on this item: <br /> <br />a) <br /> <br />Seminar regarding Levy Limits, Local Government Aids and <br />Property Taxes - This seminar was attended by Councilmember <br />Sue Van Wagner, City Accountant Jeanne Moen and myself. I <br />thought that this seminar was quite informative as an update <br />on the issues. The one area of particular interest was the <br />recent change in State law regarding the certificate of <br />indebtedness and the use of this type of an instrument could <br />be very beneficial to Ramsey. <br /> <br />b) <br /> <br />State Auditor's Letter Dated August 5, 1983 - It is interesting <br />to see that the State of Minnesota is soon going to have uniform <br />accounting and budgeting as a requirement. This will be a <br />real plus factor for the citizens of Minnesota. There will <br />be so many benefits derived from this approach. <br /> <br />c) Budgeting - We are working full speed in those areas. <br /> <br />2) General - The following is submitted on this item: <br /> <br />a) <br /> <br />City Hall Front Windows - You will note the original windows <br />are losing their seal. We have checked with the manufacturer <br />and he will replace the material (glass) and there is a good <br />possibility that the insurance carrier will cover labor costs. <br />It will be a while before the project gets accomplished. <br /> <br />b) <br /> <br />Group "W" Cable - They are in the process of getting the Ramsey <br />Municipal Center wired up so we can go on the air when Group <br />"W" gets its Cable TV up and running. <br /> <br />c) <br /> <br />Removing of Stop Sign on Sunfish Lake Blvd. NW at the <br />Intersection of Industrial Blvd. NW and Sunfish Lake Blvd. <br />NW - The County Engineer's office stated to me several weeks <br />ago that this issue was going before the County Highway <br />Commission and then on to the County Board for action. <br /> <br />d) <br /> <br />Metro Council - I know you are all very busy but you should <br />take the time to review Exhibit "B" and if you have comments <br />and suggestions, submit them to the Council. We should all <br />take a lot of interest in the above document as it has a lot <br />of input regarding affairs in Ramsey. <br /> <br />e) Dickenson Industries Relocation - This will be covered in <br /> Exhibit "C" to the Council agenda. <br /> <br />/pjc <br /> <br /> <br />
