On Christmas Eve our Public Works team put in overtime to clear the roadways of 8 inches of snow that had fallen overnight. While plowing snow, one of our drivers came upon a resident that was trying to get to work but couldn't get her car through the thick snow. Our employee stopped to help her shovel her way out and remove as much snow as possible so she could begin her day. She later stopped in to City Hall to express her gratitude in a card. We are so proud of the small ways our employees go above and beyond to care for the residents of Ramsey. Attached to the Weekly Update is the Thank You Note to the Public Works Department.
