Assistant County Engineer Bud Redepenning called me prior to the placement of the signs and stated that they were installing the signs in response to complaints that the street signs were difficult to see at night. Mr. Redepenning also ~'tated that moving the street signs closer to Ramsey Boulevard and placing signs on both sides of Ramsey Boulevard would be helpful. He also stated that the City may wish to consider street lighting at the major intersections. Surfce Water Management: On January 26, 1983., I attended an organizational meeting of the Upper Mississippi River Watershed at the Coon Rapids City Hall. At that meeting, it was decided that Ramsey, Anoka and Andover would withdraw from the Upper Mississippi River Watershed, since the drainage from those communities does not cross political boundaries. It was further determined that the Cities of Ramsey, Anoka and Andover would form joint-power agreements for areas lying in the Mississippi Watershed or incorporate those areas under the jurisdiction of the Rum River Watershed. This would alleviate the need for Anoka and Ramsey to be involved in more than one watershed. If the Cities within the Rum River Watershed do not form a district by December 31, 1983, the. county will be required to form a watershed district.
