Work Session Discussion Item C Police Report
Police Chief Hodges presented on this work session report dated March 04, 2019.
Erickson: Noted the Community Safety Advisory Committee is part of the community outreach
and asked Hodges to elaborate.

Unite program this year. Added they are going to assist with education; for instance, educating
senior citizens about the vitals app.
Briggs: Thanked Hodges for his report and noted the close working relationship with the SMSC
which is appreciated.
PUBLIC FORUM
Briggs: Reviewed the process for the public forum and explained that items scheduled for public
hearing or items for which a public hearing has been held but no final action taken, are not eligible
for discussion on the public forum.
Kim Churchill, 16209 Evanston Ave: Believed we already have a community center, half of it is
Club Prior and the Library and the other half is City Hall; they just are not in the same location.
Added the only thing the city does not have is an indoor ice rink and work out facility which the
SMSC already has in the city. Stated it is a waste of time to discuss a community center. Noted
the app Hodges mentioned is also used to assist persons with mental health.

COUNCILMEMBER LIAISON UPDATES

Braid: Stated he attended the Planning Commission meeting where there was a hearing on the
water systems comp plan; the commission noted how easy the reports were to read and how
well written they were and how the partnership with the SMSC for the water treatment plant has
put our city in a great position in terms of feeding our water needs in the next 25 years or more.
Added this water treatment plant has already saved our city millions of dollars in debt and this
DRAFT 03 04 2019 City Council Meeting Minutes 4
joint agreement allows us to phase in our water needs over time for development to pay for it-
self. Noted he attended an agenda review with Plante, met with some members of the township
as well.
Burkart: Stated he attended the Highway 169 Corridor event, the LMC annual legislative con-
ference which was very productive with great meetings with local legislators to discuss the need
for municipal authority for infrastructure fees. Attended a ribbon cutting, a meeting with the
mayor and city manager and the MVTA meeting and a driver of the year was awarded that
evening. Congratulated PL American Maggie Stanwood on her new position with the DNR.
Thompson: Stated she toured the water treatment plant which was very impressive; the part-
nership with the water treatment plant puts us at a great advantage. Noted she attended the Cit-
izen Engagement Committee.
Briggs: Noted he had a meeting with the city’s auditor, a quarterly meeting with the school dis-
trict, a SCALE meeting, Intergovernmental Work Group meeting, Chamber of Commerce first
networking meeting and attended former city manager Boyles retirement party. Stated this
council has amplified the priority that statutory authority be granted by the legislature allowing
cities to charge developers street fees. Added letters were sent to the Star Tribune opening up
lines of communication on the state level, we sent emails to our Scott County Board, our fellow
Scott County Cities, and our Scott County Township to join us in passing a resolution asking for
the same change. Noted all six cities and five townships have either acted or will be acting.
Thanked the city council because it has touched all of us and we are making our efforts to bring
