TO: FROM: DATE: RE: Mayor and City Council City Administrator July 18, 1980 Staff Report a) Finance: The first factor in commencing with the 1981 budget will be Council action on the 1980 mid year budget adjustments which will become the new 1980 estimated ~udget figures. It shou2d be noted that all-department heads reviewed their respective budget area on these mid year adjustments prior to them going to the Budget Committee. In working on our 1981 budget we are going to have to be cognizant of the fact that our State Aid dollars may be cut in 1980 and 1981. Con- sequently, the City of Ramsey could really take a beating on State Aid dollars. Council may want to take their case now to the Governor and the Commissioner of Revenue. b) Things that haven't~been accomplished at this mid point of the year: The following list of administrative things have not been accomplished: 1) Scenic and Wild River Ordinance: The State has given everybody a September 1980 deadline. Reason - here we are trying to tie this into our Critical Rivers Ordinance and there is Ordinance language problems which take time that we just don't have. 2) Site and Design Plan Ordinance: This has not been put in final form as of this date for public hearing. Reason - Time is the main factor here for not. getting it completed. 3) Mining Ordinance: Council has adopted it but it needs to have more language put i~ it so we can use it. Reason - here again time is the major factor for not completing it. 4) Title to River property along Highway #47: Co~uncil is fully award on this whole case we have requested the County's assistance on this matter and they are working on it. 5) Critical Rivers Area Ordinance: This is now before the State of Minnesota's Environmental Quality Board for review. I don't think our Ordinance is going to flyby the people in St. Paul, We should be hearing soon on it.
