TO: Mayor and <br /> Councilmembers <br /> <br />FROM: City Administrator <br />RE: Staff report for June 1985 <br /> <br />l) Finance: <br /> <br /> a) Chief Accountant position - We received 17 applications for this position. <br /> Council Personnel Committee set dates for interviews <br />I <br /> will <br /> be <br /> contacting <br /> the <br /> to <br />of qualified candidates. The ad was placed in Sunday editions (June 9th and June <br />16th) of the Minneapolis Star and Tribune and the St, Paul Dispatch and Pioneer <br />Press. The ad closed June 19th. <br /> <br /> b) Revenue and expenditure history for the years 1975 to 1984 I-have enclosed <br />this report with my staff report. This shows a historical review of Ramsey in <br />regards to revenue and expenditure. There should be several other parts to it <br />(population and assessed valuation) to make it a complete document. However, <br />it shows Ramsey has developed. The interesting part it charts is revenue and <br /> increases and what these increases It would also be <br />expenditure <br /> were. <br /> interesting <br />if we had the other above mentioned parts included in this document. Further, <br />it would really be interesting to see how this all would have affected the average <br />Ramsey residential dwelling taxes. <br /> <br /> We now have the tools to do this and in the future we can do very accurate <br />projection and tie to productivity. <br /> <br />I do intent to have Jeanne go over this with you at the meeting. It will be her <br /> last time before the Ramsey City Council. <br /> <br /> 2) Legislation - There is nothing to report on at this time regarding legislation. <br /> I have asked the Metro Association of Cities if they would conduct a critique <br /> on the 1985 Legislative Session as soon as this special session closes and they <br /> are very interested in putting on an informative meeting. <br /> <br /> 3) Generah <br /> <br /> a) Lutheran Brotherhood purchased all the materials for the softball base <br /> boxes at a cost of $351.00 for Central Park. Further, Merle informed me that <br /> volunteer people worked from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. setting bleachers purchased <br /> by the City and trimming the trees in Central Park. I think we probably should <br /> get a letter of thank you out to them. <br /> <br /> b) Mr. Jim Barton of the Metro Council has indicated to me that they will <br /> be writing Ramsey up in their Metro newsletter in regards to the fine job Ramsey <br /> has done in its long term financial plan budget and operational budget. <br /> <br /> LGS: <br /> <br /> <br />
