I I' I I I I ! I I I I I I I I I I I TO: FROM: RE: Mayor and Councilmembers City Administrator Staff Report for May 1983 1) Finance - The following is hereby submitted on this item: a) Police Grant - It appears that the City will be receiving training reimbursement money from the Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training. Callable Bond General Obligation Issue for 1981 ($815M) - The savings that may be available to the Ctiy is a good example of how funds will be earned and made available to the public improvement fund when that bond obligation is satisfied. c) Ramsey Resident Revenue and Expenditure Report for Month of April 1983 - The Ramsey Resident came out in the black for the month ending April 1983. Please refer to C-1 for the City Accountant's report. 2) Projects - The following is a report on work project: a) Five Year Capital Improvement Project Budget - This has come to a complete halt due to the City's problem on public improvements. b) Bond Rating Issue - We have done nothing on this because of the following items: 1) Establishing of an assessment policy in re- gards to public improvements.and 2) The need for a capital improve- ment project budget. There a~e other things involved which also has precluded completing this project. I felt this was one of Ramsey's more critical issues. c) State Aid Legislation - The best Ramsey could have possibly done by either the House or Senate bills was about 5.5 percent over what the City is currently receiving in local government aid. d) Critical Area and Wetland Ordinance - This was supposed to be done in April 1983, however, due to a hol.d up in ~ateri~l from the EQB and Metro Council we have had a hold on it. There is also a cost factor involved that Council should discuss. ~) Ordinance Recodification - This is still in the mill and it it pro- gressing slowly, however, we should have it done by the end of June. The biggest problem is finding the time frames to work on it. f) General Files - This still hasn'tbeen completed and won't be until we get adequate time to work on it.
