<br />RAMSEY ESTABLISHING FIRE
<br />DEPARTMENT AND
<br />SEEKING VOLUNTEERS
<br />
<br />On May 11, City Council met to review the Fire
<br />Safety Committee's concept for fire department
<br />organization, fire board organization and schedule
<br />for organizing the department. Council approved
<br />those concepts and directed that an ordinance to
<br />establish the volunteer fire department be available
<br />for introduction at the May 24 Council meeting and
<br />adoption at the June 7 Council meeting.
<br />Based on that Council action, the Ramsey Fire
<br />Safety Committee is pleased to announce that the
<br />City is now looking for volunteer fire fighters for the
<br />new Ramsey Fire Department. A special meeting is
<br />planned for May 26, 1988 at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall.
<br />Any male or female 18 years of age or older and
<br />a resident of the City of Ramsey that is interested
<br />in joining the fire department should try to attend this
<br />meeting. If you are unsure about joining and want
<br />to find out additional information, this meeting is also
<br />intended for you.
<br />Those of you that would like to join the fire depart-
<br />ment but cannot attend this meeting, please contact
<br />Penny Curtis at City Hall (427-1410). There will be
<br />additional meetings in the future and also meetings
<br />to accommodate residents on different shift
<br />schedules.

<br />RECYCLING CENTER
<br />
<br />The Ramsey Jaycees in conjunction with Waste
<br />~anagement of Minnesota, Inc. maintain a recycl-
<br />Ing center at the Anoka Regional Sanitary Landfill
<br />on S~nfish L~ke Blvd. The center is open during
<br />landfill operating hours, Monday-Friday, 7:00 a.m.
<br />to 5:00 p.m. and Saturdays, 8:00 a.m. to 1 :00 p.m.
<br />CO,ntainers are provided for newspaper, metals,
<br />aluminum and glass. Newspapers should be bagg-
<br />ed, boxed or bundled. Items exclusively made of
<br />metal are accepted. No appliances, drums,
<br />household garbage, or combination of metal and
<br />~ther materials are acceptable for recycling at this
<br />time. Glass must be separated by color: clear, light
<br />brown and green. (Note: Appliances can be dispos-
<br />ed of at the landfill for $1 O/each. Tires can be dispos-
<br />ed of at the landfill for $5.00 each or $7.00 with rims;
<br />or at Tonson, Inc. at 2050-'12 Bunker Lake Blvd. for
<br />$1.00 each.)
<br />Residents are urged to start recycling now. No
<br />amount of recyclable items is too small; it all helps
<br />to reduce the flow into the landfill and all proceeds
<br />from the recycling center are turned over to the
<br />Ramsey Jaycees to be used for community service
<br />projects.
<br />In addition to the Jaycees proceeds, the City of
<br />Ramsey can receive a $4 per ton reimbursement
<br />from the State of Minnesota for any materials recycl-
<br />ed within the City.
