Introduction from the County Manager and CFO
Greetings!
Whether you're visiting us as a resident, business representative, partner, employee or other Ramsey County stakeholder, thank you for taking time to learn more about Ramsey County. We're pleased to present our 2016 Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR).
Lee Mehrkens, CFO
Julie Kleinschmidt,
County Manager
The PAFR format has been developed by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) as a complement to the more extensive and specialized Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (PDF). The PAFR’s purpose is to be "...readily accessible and easily understandable to the general public and other interested parties without a background in public finance."
Following that, this year we are presenting Ramsey County’s PAFR in a digital-first format here at ramseycounty.us/pafr. This new format allows you to:
Access this information from anywhere, at any time on any type of device.
Navigate directly to the specific PAFR content you are interested in.
Translate the information instantly into dozens of languages using free online tools such as Google Translate or Bing Translator.
Use audio assistive software to listen to this content if you are visually impaired.
Retweet, share or like PAFR content to share with your social media networks.
Follow linked text to learn more about our programs, services and news at ramseycounty.us.
We are proud to have been recognized every year since 2009 by GFOA for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Financial Reporting, and look forward to hearing your questions about the 2016 report and feedback about this digital-first approach. We also appreciate your help sharing our PAFR with others – we have created printed materials which you can find at our libraries and other office locations or download and print your own for display where you work and play in Ramsey County.
Thanks again for your interest –
Julie Kleinschmidt, County Manager Lee Mehrkens, Chief Financial Officer
