As chair of the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners, I want to share with you how deeply saddened we all are by the devastating injustices that occur too frequently within our midst. Like you, we’re appalled and angered when those to whom we’ve given authority to serve and protect us so thoroughly misuse and betray our trust. And when our justice system repetitively fails to swiftly provide justice after such violations, scars left unhealed deepen with each re-injury. That is the case now with the death of Mr. George Floyd while in custody of the Minneapolis Police. We offer our prayers for his family and friends, and also for our Twin Cities communities in the aftermath of this horrible occurrence.

Food and basic needs assistance
Many people in Ramsey County are struggling with access to enough healthy food. Information on food and basic needs resources is on our website, including assistance programs:
- To increase monthly food budgets.
- For children under the age of 18.
- For seniors.
- For residents with transportation or mobility barriers.
An interactive map is also available to help locate food resources in your neighborhood.

Park shelter and pavilion rentals have reopened, aligning with current Stay Safe Minnesota guidance. Reservations can be made online or by calling 651-748-2500. We will contact larger groups with existing reservations that are impacted by this change.

Ramsey County beaches will remain closed until further notice to help slow the spread of coronavirus/COVID-19 and protect the health and safety of the community. We will continue to monitor guidelines and best practices to determine if and when beaches can reopen this season.
