<br />STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS
<br />
<br />Over the past year, subtle changes have marked
<br />the many accomplishments of the City of Ramsey.
<br />Most of the news articles that we read about Ramsey
<br />have been positive rather than negative.
<br />Growth has taken place in our community without
<br />sacrificing the rural lifestyles and values which we
<br />take pride in and we have continued to develop
<br />parks, a volunteer fire department, and new
<br />transportation systems.
<br />Anyone of these events is worth talking about or
<br />maybe even celebrating. As we look toward 1989
<br />and 1990, I would like to emphasize the continuing
<br />need to be a team and to work together on the part
<br />of our City Council, boards and commissions, citizen
<br />groups, and the public at large. I believe that it is
<br />this teamwork that can and will make Ramsey a tru-
<br />ly great place to live and work. I also believe that
<br />we need to find reasons to celebrate our ac-
<br />complishments as a team. This year my challenge
<br />to the citizens of Ramsey is to find a team of which
<br />you can be a member and support that team. By do-
<br />ing so you will make a difference in Ramsey. Here
<br />is only a partial list of some teams that you may want
<br />to join:
<br />
<br />Lions
<br />Jaycees
<br />Volunteer fire department
<br />School organizations:
<br />PTA
<br />Teen Advisory Board
<br />Advisory Council
<br />Key Communicator Program
<br />Community Education
<br />Ramsey Youth Athletic Association
<br />Area churches
<br />City boards, commissions, and committees:
<br />Planning and Zoning
<br />Park and Recreation
<br />Economic Development
<br />Airport
<br />Solid Waste Issues
<br />Make the Scene, Keep Ramsey Clean
<br />4-H Clubs
<br />Scouts
<br />Senior citizen group
<br />RISE
<br />Mediation Services for Anoka County

<br />CITY OF RAMSEY
<br />ANNUAL SPRING
<br />PET VACCINATION CLINIC
<br />
<br />The City of Ramsey will be sponsoring its annual
<br />spring pet vaccination clinic on Saturday, April 29,
<br />1989 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Vaccinations will
<br />be given by Dr. David Gilgenbach of the Elk River
<br />Veterinary Clinic and will be administered in the
<br />lower level fire barn of the Ramsey Municipal Center,
<br />15153 Nowthen Blvd. NW. The following shots will
<br />be offered:
<br />
<br />Rabies (canine and feline) $ 4.75
<br />DHLP and Parvovirus combined
<br />(canine) $11.00
<br />Pan RC-C-P (feline) $ 5.75
<br />City Ordinance requires that all dogs be vaccinated
<br />against rabies and licensed. City personnel will be
<br />available to issue dog licenses and identification tags
<br />at the clinic. If your dog has been vaccinated recently
<br />but you do not have a current license, this is your
<br />chance to purchase a dog license without having to
<br />come to City Hall during regular business hours (you
<br />must bring in the current rabies vaccination cer-
<br />tificate). The license fee is $3.00 for males and
<br />spayed females and $5.00 for unspayed females.
<br />Dogs must be licensed when they reach six months
<br />of age. The license is valid for two years to coincide
<br />with the rabies vaccination. The City does not require
<br />the licensing of cats.
<br />ALL ANIMALS MUST BE LEASHED WHEN
<br />BROUGHT TO THE CLINIC.
<br />YOU ARE URGED TO PROTECT YOUR PET,
<br />YOURSELF, AND YOUR COMMUNITY BY PAR-
<br />TICIPATING IN THE PET VACCINATION CLINIC.
