At a public hearing held for the purpose of reviewing proposed sanitary sewer and water extensions to the industrial area, five op- tions were reviewed by the City Council and those property owners who were present. The five options utilize the tax increment revenue sources to help pay for the cost of these improvements. The use of tax increment financing ranges from 8% of the required revenue to 54%. The opportunity to use this form of financing to assist in the development of sanitary sewer and water improvements in the industrial area is likely to expire on September 1, 1986. At that time, some of the affects of a proposed bill before Congress will have the effect of prohibiting such use of tax incre- ment (tax exempt) bonds. The City Council will again consider the question of ordering these improvements in July of this year (following the Charter required 60 day waiting period). Further, some Ramsey industries have in- dicated that these improvements may make it possi- ble for them to expand in Ramsey rather than some other community. u A WORD FROM YOUR POLICE CHIEF Have you ever been driving along one of our streets in Ramsey or perhaps walking into an undeveloped area for an evening stroll and happen- ed to come upon a pile of garbage and rubbish? Fre- quently, it is in plastic bags but sometimes the junk is just dumped off or the bags have been ripped open by dogs and the trash is scattered around. I don't know about you, but it usually makes me wonder why humankind has chosen to make "pig" a dirty word since we often seem to outstrip them 1,000 percent! While this is a futile message and a waste of good ink, I will ask anyway that those of you who do this please stop and have consideration for others. Of course, if you did think of others you wouldn't need this message anyway, would you? To those of you who do care, I ask that you take down the license number of those doing this dump- ing if you are lucky enough to see them doing it and call the police department. Any information you can provide us with is greatly appreciated and helpful in catching these people. One little tip: I would say that 25% or more of the times that we are able to identify a person and have called them, it is learned that they gave junior and his friends, or a boyfriend, $10.00 to take a load to the dump and 10 and behold, the community becomes the dump and the ten-spot goes for beer or other goodies. If you suspect that someone near and dear to you just may be inclined to do this, ask for a landfill receipt. Heaven forbid that this should happen, but just in case....

Ramsey residents interested in serving on the Commission are requested to sub- mit a letter of application to the Ramsey Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Blvd. N.W., Ramsey, Min- nesota 55303 no later than June 9, 1986.

A WORD FROM YOUR TREE INSPECTOR/FIRE WARDEN Another Oak Wilt and Elm Disease season is ap- proaching. If your Red Oaks and Elms do not leaf out this summer, or if their leaves shrivel and wilt, they may have this common disease. There is a necessary advantage to remove and properly dispose of these newly wilted trees for disease control. You are eligible for a 30 day open fire burning per- mit for disposal of diseased Elm and Oak ONLY if the distance from the fire to other residences is at least 600'. If the distance requirement cannot be met, a County Disposal Site for diseased Elm and Oak only (limbs and trunks, not stumps) is located at 132nd Avenue and Hanson Blvd., one mile north of Hwy. No. 242. The site hours are noon to 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday; 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday; and noon to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. There is a $2.50 charge for a 112 ton pick- up load and a $5.00 charge for a 1 ton pick-up load. Leaves and grass may also be delivered to the site for composting and composted soil will be available next year at the site. For more information call the Anoka County Park Department at 757-3920. Three day recreational campfire permits are still available over the counter at Ramsey City Hall or by contacting the Fire Warden at 753-5099. The 30 day PCA permit application process requires an on site inspection by the Fire Warden in order to complete the application, and at least two weeks to process the application. Please plan ahead for seasonal yard, garden and tree maintenance to develop a schedule and cycle that meets your needs at a minimum cost and effort while maintaining aesthetics. Ramsey's Tree Inspector/Fire Warden, Bruce Bacon, is available part-time, year around to answer questions and consult with you on your site regar- ding tree health and disease, disposal and recycl- ing practices and open burning permit applications. Please call and leave a message at 753-5099 and he will try and respond in a timely manner.
