I <br /> <br /> ! <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br />'1 <br /> I <br /> I <br /> i <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> i <br /> I <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Councilmembers <br /> <br />City Administrator <br /> <br />Monthly Staff Report for January 1982 <br /> <br />1) Finance - The following is submitted in this category: <br /> <br />a) Cash Report for Year Ending December 31, 1981 - We will have <br />available for you at the Council meeting the year'ending cash <br />report for 1981. I think you will find it quite interesting. <br /> <br />b) Cash Flow for 1982 - I don't anticipate any problems in this <br />area. However, we will continue to keep a very close watch on <br />things. The reduction of 11.08% in our State Aid which amounts <br />to approximately $17,700 will not affect us. However, I don't <br />trust the State in their cash forecast. There could be another <br />cut. <br /> <br />This is what really gets to me. The reduction in State Aid comes <br />right straight across the board (which is fair). Why don't they <br />distribute it in a fair way. The Governor and the Legislators <br />know darn well that we are being cheated in State Aid due to the <br />way the law was written, and they admit it. However, they won't <br />lift a hand when cuts come to give us a break. <br /> <br />2) General - The following Us hereby submitted: <br /> <br />a) Comprehensive Plan - We delivered the Comprehensive Plan cor- <br />rection to the Metro Council Staff and they are currently reviewing <br />them. I think we are now basically home on that issue except their <br />problem will be a few more adjustments. It is a major policy docu- <br />ment and I think we are coming through on it extremely well. At <br />the Metro level, we can give Jim Barton a tremendous amount of credit <br />for our success at that level. Also, City Engineer Raatikka has done <br />a terrific job for the City of Ramsey on this issue. <br /> <br />b) Economics - If the year 1981 is any indicator, it appears that <br />Ramsey is crawling out of the economic downturn as comparedkto[1980 <br />which was really a slump.'~year for Ramsey.- After talkihg, withrMr~ <br />Bullick, he-said ~hings appear to be picking up in the industrial <br />and commercial development, which is a good sign for Ramsey. <br /> <br />3) Snow Removal - We h~ve received many fine reports on the snow removal here <br />in Ramsey. It appears that Merle really has this operation extremely well- <br />organized, which is really good to hear. <br /> <br /> <br />
