He noted that Sleepy Eye and <br />Minnetonka had tried to create their own street improvement fund, but it was denied by a <br />committee at the State. He stated that the rationale for the denial was apparently because they <br />wanted a Statewide program rather than city-by-city, so it may not be in our best interest to <br />pursue individual legislation fot' Ramsey at this time. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / March 24, 2009 <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />
