Knowing these ordinances will enable builders to work within the existing restrictions profitably. This program is designed for builders and developers and how they can become part of the process of developing these ordinances so that all benefit.

All builders and developers are invited to attend. MEDIATION SERVICES IN ANOKA COUNTY Is there a better way to settle conflict in the 90's? Settling neighborhood disputes, landlord/tenant problems and interpersonal conflicts through mediation may end months and even years of friction and is available free of charge. Mediation Services provides mediators and a place for you and the other parties to meet and discuss solutions all parties can live with. For more information call your local mediation service at 755-5300 and ask for Ann Wallerstedt. POSTAL CUSTOMER FIRE FIRE FIRE With the restructure of the fire suppression and emergency system in the City of Ramsey, dialing 911 is the fastest response you can have in an emergency. Confused? Let me explain. Due to the support of the community and a lot of time and hard training by Ramsey's Fire Department, the department is in full control of all fire-related emergencies. As of January 1, 1991, Anoka and Elk River fire departments will not respond to Ramsey's fire calls. If you call one of these departments instead of 911, the call will have to be rerouted to 911 dispatch, which means time lost when there is an emergency at your home or business. The relationship between Ramsey and these other communities hasn't been severed, but reconstructed to participate in a program which other communities are a part of called a "Mutual Aid Pack". Belonging to this Mutual Aid Pack gives each community support if needed by means of equipment or manpower. If there is a situation that we feel is unsafe or out of control, we can have a city in this pack respond to our needs. This also works in reverse and we will respond to other communities' emergencies. The exchange of manpower and equipment to cities that are a part of this organization gives everyone a great deal of assurance that in a disaster situation you have the help that you need. The City of Ramsey is currently seeking Fire Fighters for daytime responses. If you feel that you would like to be a part of a proud and progressive fire department, please contact Ramsey City Hall for an application or call Fire Chief Dave Griffin at 427-1410.
