Depending on the amount and type of snow <br />this could take several days. We are requesting your <br />help in keeping our fire hydrants accessible. Could <br />you please clear a four-foot circle around the hydrant <br />near your home to assure easy access for our Fire <br />Department? <br />If you have any questions or comments please <br />call John Nelson, Ramsey Fire Department at 763- <br />427-8254. Thank you for your efforts! <br /> <br />MAILBOX <br />REPLACEMENT POLICY <br /> <br />Mailboxes installed and maintained to City <br />U.S. Post Office regulations which are damaged as <br />a result of direct contact by City snow removal <br />equipment will be temporarily repaired within 48 hours <br />of receiving notification of such damage. If the <br />mailbox cannot be temporarily repaired, a portable <br />mailbox will be set in place so mail service will be <br />continued. The City will replace the damaged mailbox <br />structure the following spring with a standard No.1 <br />black, white, or silver mailbox mounted on 4-by 4- <br />inch treated post. <br />Residents whose mailboxes are l(nocl(ed <br />down as a result of direct contact by City snow <br />removal equipment may request $75 allowances, if <br />they so choose, to replace the mailbox structures <br />themselves, relieving the City of any further obligation. <br />In such cases, the City will provide portable, temporary <br />mailboxes until the following spring. <br />Mailboxes, which are not installed to City and <br />U.S. Post Office regulations or are damaged due to <br />snow deposited from plows (versus being hit by City <br />snow removal equipment), will not be replaced. The <br />City is not responsible for damage to media or paper <br />boxes and will not repair them. <br /> <br />The best way to predict the fitture is to invent it. - Alan Kay <br />
