<br />The year 1993 was characterized by construction activity and planning for
<br />future such activity. The City, during the past year, initiated or completed several
<br />studies or changes in the areas of transportation, land use, shoreland, parks,
<br />finance and general operations. At the same time, more building permits were
<br />issued than atany time in Ramsey's history. Hopefully, through it all we were able
<br />to maintain quality service delivery to the public in a cost-effective, efficient
<br />manner. The following is an overview of 1993.
<br />
<br />Community DevelQpmentlEniineerini
<br />During 1993, we issued 377 permits for new homes with a total of 2,089
<br />pennits issued (includes wells, decks, additions, commercial buildings, etc.).
<br />Total value of permits the past three years have been:
<br />
<br />1991: $15,212,850 1992: $27,083,600 1993: $39,042,750
<br />
<br />As a result of the above, we expect continued growth of the community as
<br />follows:
<br />
<br />... Weare pleased to announce Bradley Paplham as the
<br />.... newest member in our Police Department Brad began
<br />.... his employment with the City of Ramsey on January 1st
