<br />RESOLUTION
<br />ENDORSES STAR OF THE
<br />NORTH GAMES
<br />Tho Anoka County Board of Commissioners
<br />passed a resolution during the April 131h County
<br />Board mooting endorsing the 1993 Star of the
<br />North Summer Gamos which will host over 10,000
<br />Minnesota athletes from June 25 - 27.
<br />This year marks tho sixth anniversary of the
<br />Star of the North Games, Minnesota's largest
<br />annual amatour multi -sport evont. The Olympic
<br />style competition provides an opportunity for
<br />people of all ages to compete in 30 different
<br />events, reflecting tho diverse abilities of
<br />Minnesota athletes.
<br />Tho wide variety of athletic events offered for
<br />competition range from team sports like soccer,
<br />basoball, volloyball and wrestling, to individual
<br />sports like golf, karato, powerlifting and fencing.
<br />Tho games also include divisions for special and
<br />disabled athletes.
<br />'11 takos many rosourcos to host an event that
<br />welcomes so many athletes,' said Anoka County
<br />Commissioner Margaret Langfeld, who believes
<br />the events provide an opportunity to showcase the
<br />Countys many athletic venues. 'Anoka County's
<br />8,000 acros of park and rocroation space, along
<br />with the many recroalional facilities offered by the
<br />sponsor cities and communities, make this area
<br />the perfect place to host the games.
<br />'Coordinating offorts for an event of this size
<br />is a tremendous job,' continued Langfeld. The
<br />Star of the North Gamos have received generous
<br />support from many communities who will serve as
<br />host for the events - communilios such as Anoka,
<br />Blaino, Coon Rapids, Centerville, Loxington, Lino
<br />Lakes, Spring Lake Park, Circle Pines, Fridley,
<br />Mounds Viow and Now Brighton.'
<br />'However, the reason for the recent County
<br />Board action was to urgo rosidonts and
<br />corporations to add their support through
<br />voluntooring time, donating monetarily or making
<br />in -kind contributions,' said Langteld.
<br />Because the competition is open to all ages
<br />and a wide variety of sports, expectations for a
<br />rocord crowd aro high.' Commissioner Langfeld
<br />commended furthor, in 1991 we had over 10,000
<br />athletes compete and that number continues to
<br />riso every yoar. We hope that our support of the
<br />games will promote health and fitness as well as
<br />bring our communilios loser together through the
<br />spirit of competition.'
<br />Registration for ovonts is taking place now.
<br />Further information regarding the amatour athletic
<br />competition, volunteering or contributions is
<br />availablo by calling 785-5678.

<br />ON ROAD NAMES REQUESTED
<br />At an April 1, 1993, meeting of tho Road and Bridge Committee, one topic of discussion
<br />was how to alleviate confusion associated with the namos of two collector streets serving
<br />the City. Sunfish Lake Drive N.W. is a now east/wost cotloclor street which will eventually
<br />run from T.H. 1147, south of 1491h Avenue N.W. to County Road 11116 near the Allron
<br />Company. Portions of !his new street have boon constructed in the now Wood Pond Hills
<br />and Sunny Ponds subdivisions located south of City Hall along County Road 115. Obviously
<br />tho name Sunfish Lake Drive N.W. is very similar to Sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W. (C.R.
<br />1157) which is also a major thoroughfare in the City. (See bold Linos on the map below to
<br />show tho strools for renaming.)
<br />A socond thoroughfare considered for renaming is 153rd/1551h Avenues. Because of the
<br />irnportanco of this roadway, it would be less confusing for it to have a single descriptive name.
<br />Tho Road and Bridgo Committee felt it would be worthwhile to obtain citizen input in
<br />considoring appropriate namos for those two roadways. Possible namos could be related to
<br />Ramsey's historic past, or to geographic or man-made featuros.
<br />If you have a suggestion, please stop by, call us at 427-1410 or return the form below to
<br />Ramsay Municipal Building, 15153 Nowthon Blvd N.W. Ramsay, MN 55303 by 5 p.m.
<br />Friday, Juno 25, 1993. Tho Road and Bridge Commilleo will be reviowing these
<br />suggostions and making a recommendation to the City Council in July.
<br />If now road namos aro soloclod, the City will need to hold a public hearing and pass an
<br />ordinance designating the change. Properties affocted by an addross change will be
<br />notifiod by totter.
