Linda indicated that she would provide update for the CSAC planning calendar.
Woody informed the committee of operations at the VFW farmers market. At this point we could only
setup a table if a vacancy opens. Setup is required by 3PM and booth must be staffed until 7PM. As city
advisory committee we would have fee waived.
Betsy will look into opportunity for committee table at the SMSC market on Thursdays.
PD funding will be made available for making copies of the incoming student letter written by Liz. The
PLHS principal will be contacted for permission to include the letter in the student packet.
7. New Business
Sgt John Stanger attended the meeting for Chief Elliott. Focus of local PD will be speed enforcement thru
24 July. Reported on new technology in the squad cars; Dragon Speech which provides hands free
dictation. A new records management system is coming on line in July. John also reported on arrest for
heroin use in city; and gun violence in Elko.
Discussed CSAC members participating in 2017 Parties in the Park.
CSAC should be on board in the push by Chief Elliott for additional officers for PLPD. Prior Lake
staffing using sworn officers per 1000 residents is falling behind neighboring PD. Lloyd Erbaugh may
speak to this at next meeting.
