8 RAMSEY SENIOR NEWS It was a cold, blustery day for our February meeting, but we had a goodly number in attendance. We seniors are a hardy bunch. Pat Hackman, from theAnoka County Red Cross, aud a volunteer, Howie Haeg, presented a program of what to do "Til Help Arrives." It was very informative, and as someone later commented, "we need to know those things." We had a sad occasion in late January -- we lost an old time member, Lowell Beckenbach. He has been our liaison between our club and the Ramsey Lions, of which he has been a long time member also. He has done so much for our club and will be sorely missed. Next month on March 2 we will have Betty Vielguth with us. She and her late husband spent some time in Iran. She will show slides and artifacts from there. Do come and join us at noon for our pot luck meal and program. See you then. Bertha Mae Johnston, President: 421-3732 RAMSEY CITY CODE LEASH ORDINANCE There have been numerous complaints from resi- dents in the last several months regarding dogs that are not on leashes. Ramsey City Code states that no person shall allow any animals of any type to run at large. Additionally, every owner or keeper of a dog shall have the dog under the control and in custody of a person of sufficient age to adequately control the dog at all times while the dog is off the premises of the owner. "Control" and "custody" means on a leash of not more than 6 feet in length. It is legal to have a dog in an automobile without a leash, but it must be on a leash if taken out of the vehicle. Violation of the leash ordinance is a misdemeanor. Annual Report Continued From Page 7 (12%). This increase in environmental awareness was furthered by the City inspecting 28 properties in conjunction with the oak wilt suppression program. Of the 28 properties inspected, 21 were found to have disease infestation. The following breakdown indicates the actions taken: 14 Had control work completed 6 Property owner declined treatment 1 Property owner was encouraged to remove trees 7 Properties had no disease present In 1994, the City will be reviewing the delivery system for solid waste and recycling and looking for more efficient ways to provide environmental services. In November 1993, the Council adopted its 1994-2000 Capital Improvements Program and 1994 Work Plan. Included was operational planning over the next five years. The City has also published a Residential Activity Forecast, which projects the amount and direction of housing construction to the year 2000. Finally, the City capitalized an Economic Development Authority in 1993, charged to assist Ramsey businesses with growth imd expansion.
