because they really have not been addressed prior to this meeting. Further, the Council adopted a resolution request- ing that the Metro Council have an outside consultant do a study in regards to what type of economic losses the City would suffer if Site P (landfill) was to become a reality here in Ramsey. Further, the Council wants the present landfill site to be included in Site P. That was also being included in this resolution. When copies are available of this resolution, you will be furnished one. b) Finance - As you have probably noted in the Anoka Union, State Auditor Arne Carlson, in his financial health profile report, stated that the City of Ramsey was doing a very good job in fiscal management and this was further brought home by the City's auditor, Deloitte, Haskins & Sells in their annual audit conducted this year for 1981. This is really very good news for ~amsey when we go into the bond market which means we should be holding our own or better. One thing Mr. Carlson's report pointed out was that Ramsey is doing very poor in State local aids and as you know, Ramsey is working very hard in getting this changed where it is equitable to all communities in the State of Minnesota. c) State Aid Lawsuit - The City of Ramsey is proceeding along with its State aid lawsuit. Our attorney is interviewing persons to serve as expert witnesses and we feel we have a very good case. d) Ad Hoc Committee for Public Improvements - This Committee had their first meeting on August 10, 1982 at the R~msey Municipal Center. Their first meeting is an organizational meeting and you will be furnished copies of those minutes. e) Elections - Mayor Gamec is trying to get the "Meet Your Candidate" meeting set for September 7 here at the Ramsey Municipal Center and this would give the citizens an oppor- tunity to address questions to those persons who are seeking the offices of 1st District County Commissioner, and the Senate and House seats prior to the primary election.
