SNOWPLOWING 11 The winter season is fast approaching and we alllmow what that means - Snowplowing! The Public Worl<s Department is responsible for clearing all city streets and municipal parlcing lots. This equates to over 300 lane miles of roads. The Public Worl<s Department mal<es every attempt to avoid damage, but because of the conditions encountered during plowing and the size of the equipment used, it is sometimes difficult to judge where the edge of the pavement ends, and where the grass begins. The City retains an easement on the edge of the road for snow storage purposes. When sod is damaged due to plowing in this easement it will be repaired, in the spring, with blacl< dirt and grass seed. Irrigation systems, landscaping and plant materials placed in the City's easement will not be repaired and are the responsibility of the homeowner. Several things can be done to diminish the chance of damage to the easement near your home. 1) Place wooden lathe every 20 to 30 feet along the boulevard to marl< the road edge. 2) Pay special attention when stal<ing corners and radiuses, as they are difficult to judge after a snowfall 3) Checl< the condition of your mailbox. Is the main post rotted? Is the box itself firmly secured to the post? Mal<e repairs now before the weather turns cold and the ground is frozen. If you have any questions about snowplowing, please call Ramsey Public Worl<s at (612) 427-8254. A MESSAGE FROM THE RAMSEY LIONS CLUB As we enjoy the beautiful Minnesota fall season, the Ramsey Lions Club is winding down after a very busy summer. Possibly you may have seen some of the members worlcing the various events we were involved in around the community. There was the annual Lions Community Picnic the first Saturday in June, the Fourth of July Fest at Diamonds, Game Fair, the N owthen Threshing Show and Ramsey Happy Days just to name a few. Our functions raise funds that are put bacl< into our community. The Ramsey Lions club is 40 members strong and we have just celebrated our 30th year of service in September, 2002. I call it service because that is the Lions motto, "WE SERVE", and I am very proud of that. Our club meets the first and third Wednesday every month at Holm's Super Bowl in Ramsey. These are dinner meetings that start at 7: 3 Opm and I encourage anyone interested in finding out more about all the wonderful things Lions do to attend one of these meetings. The Ramsey Lions are always lool<ing for new members, please feel free to contact me at 763-712-8453 or simply come to a meeting.
