2019 Handbook & Directory

The Ramsey County League of Municipalities was created in 1963, empowered by State Laws 1963, Chapter 728 for the purpose of “perpetuating and developing the League as an agency of cooperation for Ramsey County cities.” Initially, membership included 17 cities, villages and towns. In March of 1975, the Ramsey County League of Municipalities became the Ramsey County League of Local Governments and a new charter was approved which opened its member- ship doors to school districts and the county.

Today, RCLLG members include: 16 cities, one township, Ramsey County, the Ramsey Soil & Water Conservation District, and five school districts. For much of the RCLLG’s existence, the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) provided staff support. In January 1996, the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities (AMM) assumed this role, and in January 2001, Government Training Services (now called GTS Educational Events) became RCLLG’s staff support.

Throughout the year, the RCLLG conducts meetings focusing on issues critical to Ramsey County. (See information posted on the website at www.mngts.org and click on the RCLLG link.)

“Our mission is to foster cooperation among Ramsey County units of government, thereby increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of public service delivery.”

The primary roles of the RCLLG are:

1. To improve communication among all Ramsey County units of government.

2. To foster and enhance cooperation among units of local government.

3. To encourage cooperation of planning and physical development activities in Ramsey County.

4. To promote the common interests of our members through research into local government problems.

5. To provide educational opportunities to our members.

6. To work closely with the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities (Metro Cities), the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC), GTS Educational Events and other organizations and associations in the interests of the members. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 Introduction ...... iii RCLLG Admin/Governing Board………... 1-2 RCLLG COORDINATOR RCLLG Member Organizations ...... 3-24 GTS Educational Events Arden Hills...... 3 1380 Energy Lane, Suite 206 Falcon Heights ...... 4 St. Paul, MN 55108 Gem Lake ...... 5 PH: 612-222-7409 Lauderdale ...... 6 Email: [email protected] Little Canada ...... 7 Maplewood ...... 8 Mounds View ...... 9 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE President: New Brighton...... 10 Sue Denkinger North Oaks ...... 11 City of Shoreview
