Minnesota 55044 (612) 469 -3881 <br />October 27, 1980 <br />Mr. Lloyd Schnelle <br />City Administrator <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Boulevard N.W. <br />Anoka, Minnesota 55303 <br />Re: 1980 Municipal State Aid Needs Report - <br />MSA Streets <br />• Dear Lloyd: <br />We have recently received a copy of the 1980 Municipal State Aid Needs Report which <br />lists the tentative 1981 M.S.A.S. apportionments for cities with populations over <br />5,000. <br />For Ramsey the tentative 1981 apportionment is $138,059, based on a population <br />apportionment of $45,288 and a money needs apportionment of $92,771. As you are <br />aware 50% of the state aid funds are allocated to urban municipalities based on <br />construction needs and 50% of the funds are allocated on a population basis. <br />The tentative population allocation for Ramsey was based on a population of 6517. <br />The actual allocation will be based on the 1980 census, which will be listed in the <br />final census report to be released inceaberyby2the00 U.S <br />n Buriaupof Census. <br />enius al There- <br />on. <br />fore, Ramsey could expect to gain app rDe <br />• With the proposed thoroughfare plan shown in the Ramsey Comprehensive Plan for 1980 <br />prepared by Wehrman Chapman Associates, Inc., it would be an appropriate time for the <br />City of Ramsey to relocate some of their M.S.A.S. routes, to conform to the thorough- <br />fare plan. <br />Also based on the formula for designating M.S.A. Streets the City of Ramsey is eligible <br />to add 1.59 miles to their M.S.A. Street System. Route relocations and additions to <br />the M.S.A.S. system would undoubtedly increase the City's construction need allocation. <br />We would be happy to revise the M.S.A.S. System to conform to the proposed thorough- <br />fare plan and include the eligible miles in the M.S.A.S. System. <br />Please let us know if you want us to proceed with the revisions and additions. <br />Yours truly, <br />CONSULTING ENGINEERS DIVE INC. <br />Peter R.
