Blaine Living Home to many quality schools, health care facilities, churches and unprecedented recreational opportunities, Blaine is an ideal place to call home.

new township in honor of James G. Blaine, a senator and three-time presidential candidate from Maine. By 1880, Blaine’s population had reached 128.

With residential and business development thriving, the community’s amenities and potential are second to none. An abundance of mature neighborhoods and new developments are scattered throughout town, offering a range of housing types from starter homes to executive housing. And with the city’s tremendous residential growth – Blaine led Twin Cities suburbs in housing starts in the 2000s – finding your dream home could not be easier.

While many other communities in Anoka County experienced growth due to farming, Blaine’s sandy soils and abundant wetlands discouraged wouldbe farmers; the area instead remained a prime hunting location. Blaine’s growth remained slow until after World War II, when starter home developments began to spring up in the southern part of town. Blaine’s population jumped from 1,694 in 1950 to 20,640 in 1970. As the Minneapolis/St. Paul area began to enjoy rapid growth, Blaine’s wide-open spaces attracted people looking for a suburban lifestyle just a short distance from both downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul.

From a transportation standpoint, Blaine’s quick and easy access to the entirety of the metropolitan area via major highways has been a boon to business and residential development. Take a peek around Blaine today and discover what this emerging and vibrant community has to offer.

Blaine’s History Until 1877, Blaine was considered part of Anoka, Minnesota. Phillip Laddy, a native of Ireland, is recognized as the first settler in Blaine, having settled near the lake that now bears his name – Laddie Lake – in 1862. Laddy died shortly after his arrival and his survivors moved on to Minneapolis.

With the development of Interstate 35W, State Highway 65 and State Highway 10, Blaine’s accessibility to the Twin Cities improved dramatically, allowing Blaine to become an attractive location for business and residential development. Blaine has attracted new corporate residents and is also home to the National Sports Center, an Olympic-class training facility, as well as home to a Tournament Players Club golf course.

Englishman George Townsend lived for a short time in the area of Lever Street and 103rd Avenue after Laddy’s passing, but Blaine did not gain its first permanent resident until 1865, when Green Chambers settled on the old Townsend claim. Chambers was a former slave who moved north from Barron County, Kentucky, following the Civil War. In 1870, George Wall, Joseph Gagner and others settled in the area and the population began to grow. Blaine separated from Anoka in 1877 and organized as a township of its own. That year, residents held the first election, electing Moses Ripley as the first chairman of the Board of Supervisors. Ripley, who had come to Minnesota from Maine, persuaded fellow board members to name the

Spring Lake Park-Blaine-Mounds View Fire Department Fire Department Programs Free Home Safety Surveys This confidential one-hour survey is conducted by a fire and life safety educator, who will go through the home with the resident and point out common household hazards, giving tips to solve problems, checking smoke alarms and offering crime prevention tips.

Juvenile Fire Setter Program This program is for children who have previously set fires or have an extreme interest in fire. It is free and is designed to give children the tools they need to avoid dangerous fire setting.

Fire Extinguisher Servicing Residents may bring extinguishers to Fire Station 1 for servicing. The turnover time is approximately one week.

Smoke Alarm Installation Battery-operated smoke alarms can be installed by fire department personnel for residents who are unable to do so themselves.

Station Tours Tours of the fire stations are available upon request for groups of all ages.

Child Safety Seat Inspections Appointments are made to have child safety seats inspected for correct vehicle installation.

Zero Percent Residential Sprinkler Loan This loan is designed to encourage residents to install residential fire sprinkler systems in new construction or to retrofit homes.

Home Safety Tips Keep combustibles three feet from any heat source: Look around the furnace, water heater, dryer, stove, oven, candles, fireplaces and space heaters to ensure nothing is close to these and any other heat sources. Always attend to cooking: Unattended cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the United States. Keep matches and lighters out of reach of children: Curiosity is the most common reason children set fires. Children want to know how fire looks and feels, what it can do and how it burns. They may also try to imitate adults by lighting candles, cigarettes and fireplaces. It only takes about two minutes for the flame from a single match to set an entire room on fire and less than five minutes for that fire to overtake an entire house. Smoke Alarms should be placed on ceilings in hallways outside bedrooms, in the bedrooms and on at least every level of the home: Check battery level monthly and change batteries at least yearly or when they begin to chirp.

Have a home fire escape plan and practice it with your family at least once a year: Remember to have a specific meeting place outside in front of the home and to call 9-1-1 from a neighbor’s home.

Fire Prevention Keep recreational fires safe: • Only burn clean firewood, not yard waste or lumber • Keep a hose nearby • Do not leave unattended • Keep fire ring less than three feet in diameter and more than 25 feet from all structures Be fire wise: If living near undeveloped tracts of land, make your property safe from wildfires by keeping a clear area around your home.

Fireworks Only non-explosive and non-aerial consumer fireworks are permitted to be sold, possessed and used (sparklers, cylindrical fountains, illuminating torch, wheel, ground spinner, flitter sparkler, flash/strobe). Fireworks that explode, leave the ground or shoot anything other than sparks into the air are still prohibited by law (firecrackers, lady fingers, sky rockets, bottle rockets, missile type rockets, helicopters, aerial spinners, roman candles, mines, chasers, aerial shells). Use of legal devices is not permitted on any public property (parks, roads, alleys, schools, government property, etc.). Use fireworks safely away from structures and vehicles.

Residential Fire/ Security Alarms Help the SBM Fire Department keep residents safe by reducing nuisance alarm calls. Remember that all monitored systems: • Must be maintained • Require registration • Require alarm verification

Blaine Utility Services Utility Billing The Finance Department is responsible for the billing of water, sewer and garbage service to more than 17,000 homes in the City of Blaine. The utility billing phone number is 763-785-6141 for all billing inquiries and movingrelated information. This utility number has an answering machine available after regular business hours. Bills are sent quarterly to residential customers and monthly to commercial companies for the previous month’s services. All bills are due on the last day of the month. Any payments not received by the due date will result in a 10% late payment penalty. Any accounts that become delinquent are certified to the County for collection with property taxes. Since passage of the federal “Safe Drinking Water Act” in 1992, the city bills $6.36 annually to each City water customer as mandated by this act. Through the Safe Drinking Water Act the federal government determined that the number of standards monitored in drinking water should increase from 23 to 83. In order to be deemed safe for drinking, the act requires that the standards being measured fall within certain parameters set forth in the act. The State of Minnesota administers this program, and the money collected by the city is passed through to the State of Minnesota to fund this program. In 2007, the City added an online utility payment feature. Residents can now make easy and secure utility payments from the City’s website. Visit https://commerce.ci.blaine.mn.us to set up an account.

For more information on the solid waste and recycling program in Blaine, call 763-785-6192 or email rhaver@ci.blaine.mn.us.

Trash Removal Blaine has an organized collection program, which means residents use the city’s designated hauler for trash removal services. Because the city negotiates with the hauler on residents’ behalf, the cost of trash removal is kept to a minimum and fewer garbage trucks are on the street. Residents have a choice of three different size containers: • 30-gallon container .........$24.45 per quarter • 60-gallon container .........$34.95 per quarter • Unlimited .........$40.95 per quarter Trash is picked up weekly, and recycling is included along with trash removal services.

day information, 763-785-6192 or check the map on Veolia’s website. Garbage and recycling must be at the curb by 6:30 a.m.

Payment Options Each utility customer is billed four times per year, with each bill covering a three-month time period. One-third of the city is billed each month. Utility bills are mailed during the first week of the month and are due on the last day of the month. Customers may pay by cash, money order or credit/debit card at Blaine City Hall or through the city’s Automatic Bill Pay Program, which automatically takes the amount due from a designated checking or savings account. Any payments not received by the due date will result in a 10% late payment penalty. Delinquent notices are sent for those accounts not paid by the due date. All bills not paid by Nov. 1 of each year will be certified to the property taxes.
