pamsey County legis~lation 1977 The 1977 Ramsey County Legislative program is organized into 20 s~parate bills. The following narrative describes each bill, section by section. All the proposals modify existing statute and/or add to Laws 197~Chapter 435, the Ramsey County Code. A number of the code modifications merely change the method of section, subdivision and subsection identification making the Ramsey County Code consistent with the method used by the Revisor of Statutes. The county is also seeking modification of certain state-wide statutes which place specific restrictions on Ramsey County. These modifications are sought in order to allow the Board of County Commissioners the lati- tude necessary to operate an effective urban county government. None of these modifi,cations effect any other county and where such distinction was necessary the ne..., language "except in Hennepin and St. Louis counties" has been added. In all instances the terms Code or Ramsey County Code refer to Laws 1974, Chapter 435. Bill #'1. Section 1. .Amends Minnesota Statutes 1974~ Se-ction 43.3281 Suhdivision 2 bydelet- ing Ramsey. County from the state-wide mileage allowance law. Ramsey County has its own mileage pr~visibn in code section 1.0214. The coda already specifically exempts Ramsey County from the state-wide statute and this proposal merely cleans up existing law. Section 2. Amends Minnesota Statutes 1974, Section 274.16 codifying existing county procedure where the Department of Property Taxation calculates changes i~ assessment lists and places the responsibility for calculating these changes with the County Assessor. This change will mal:e Ramsey County procedure consistent with the other counties.
