MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 119 2025 information on the City/County partnership, County leadership transitions, uncertainties related to federal and state levels, and the 2026-2027 biennial budget. Commissioner McGuire provided additional information on the community outreach that will be held related to the budget. She also invited interested residents to apply for the community advisory boards and commissions and to sign up for her newsletter. She recognized that Little Canada has been a great partner who hosts amazing community events. Miller commented that the property tax statement from the county can be very confusing and stated that perhaps it could be improved to better identify where the increases are coming from. Commissioner McGuire commented that the County is interested in splitting that out as well, as there are other entities receiving funds outside of Ramsey County and its cities. Mayor Fischer commented that many of the calls the City receives related to taxes are not City issues or questions. Malone commended the County for its website, noting the efficiency, transparency, and ease of use. Kwapick commented that he has previously served as an Election Judge and asked about the election reporting of the County, noting that the results seem to be reported later than others. County Manager Ling stated that while it seems unusual to have all results driven to the county office rather than submitted electronically, that is normal statewide, although it is unusual in the metro area. She stated that they wait until they have all the results before reporting, as people can make assumptions based on early results that are often not accurate. Miller noted the new complex at Keller Regional Park and asked what was being built. County Manager Ling commented on the TuJ Lub courts and noted the grand opening occurring in July. Mayor Fischer commented on the great partnership between Little Canada and Ramsey County.
