I_ I Financial Health Profil-e I Continued from page 14 28.5%. This means that Ramsey 'can, without revenues, support the expen- ditures made in the first 5.4 months of the year. The first property tax & special assess- ment settlement, homestead credit allocation, and local . government aid payments are received in July of each year. These revenues contribute the largest % of the total revenues. The state average for communities of the same population group can support, on the average, only the first 3 .' months expenditures. Ramsey is one of 24 govern- mental units and public retire- ment systems in the entire State of Minnesota that hold a certificate of conformance in financial reporting.
