� Professional Experience (continued) �
As Ramsey County's first administrator I have been responsible to the
Board of County Commissioners and the citizens of the county for directing the
reorganization of Ramsey County government.
The 1971 Legislature passed the enabling legislation which has given
to Ramsey County a greater degree of self-determination than any other county
in Minnesota.
I participated in:
1. Initiating the study of our county goverrnnent, the
drafting of proposals for the new role of our county
government.
2. The writing of and lobbying for the special enabling
legislation.
3. The establishment of and the administration of the
new county government.
Coincidental with the reorganization of the structure of the county
government, we launched a comprehensive parks and open space program;
established a County Nursing Service which coordinated the services provided
by a private nursing service and the county nurses, anlconsolidated the
functions of the Assessor, Auditor, and Treasurer into a Department of Property `
Taxation.
Programs initiated in Ramsey County within the past two years are:
a health maintenance organization for county employees; an internal career
training program for employees offering such courses as Survey of Management
Topics, Work Simplification, Management Cammunications, Fixst Level Supervision,
Communications for Secretaries and Motivational Management; a very active
student intern program in which undergraduate and graduate students are working
for the county on projects which contribute to their educational experience.
The colleges and universities of the State have worked closely with us in
utilizing our intern program as part of the requirement for graduate degrees
�
in public administration and urban affairs.
In relation to the intern program I am a member of the community
faculty of the Minnesota Metropolitan State College in St. Paul, and a member
of the Advisory Conanittee for the Department of Urban Affairs of Mankato State
College, Mankato, Minnesota.
In 1966, in addition to my official duties with the City of St, Paul,
I served as chairman of a task force which prepared a draft of a new charter
for the City of St. Paul which was presented to the voters twice and was .
adopted in 1971 and put into operation in 1972.
