Meetings of City Boards and Commissions as well as those of the City Council have been held <br />remotely since the State’s Stay at Home was first announced back in March. The City plans to <br />allow limited in-person attendance, but this cannot be guaranteed at this time. Those requesting in <br />person attendance must register online at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RamseyMeetings. <br /> <br />In person attendance will be allowed by appointment only. The City will not be able to <br />accommodate all requests in these early phases of reopening. Priority will be given to those without <br />the technological capabilities to attend remote meetings via computer. Those that are able to attend <br />meetings remotely should do so to maintain appropriate social distancing standards. <br /> <br />Impacted events: <br /> <br />All Parks and Recreation events including Yoga, and the Starwatch Party have been <br />o <br />cancelled until further notice. <br /> <br />May 17 – The Pet Clinic has been canceled. <br />o <br /> <br />June 16-17 – The Safety Camp has been canceled. <br />o <br /> <br />The City Council and city commissions are conducting all meetings via remote electronic <br />o <br />means per MS13D.021. <br /> <br />Parks and Recreation Events and Updates: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Last week saw the completion of a successful May Day Basket Hunt encouraging residents <br />to safely spend time outdoors, and promoting a Ramsey business.
