discussed included the possibility of investing in one new "Big Toy" each year to keep things feeling new, opening up to more staff to increase staff flexibility, and changes to staff wages. There will be an open house on November 4th from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. Park Ordinance .Enforcement The commission discussed current park ordinances and possible enforcement options. The St. Anthony Police department vigorously enforces the no alcohol ordnance but wants more input on how the city would like to handle more minor violations such as pets or golfing. The commission discussion focused on dogs since that seems to be the most chronic violation. City employees are not required to approach a violator. Some park neighbors and city workers that have given verbal reminders to violators have been harassed. The commission was not reviewing the actual ordinances, but rather discussing various methods on enforcement. The commission suggested inviting Police Chief Engstrom to a future meeting to get more information about using verbal and or written warnings etc. The possibility signage was also discussed. • Park Satellites The question was raised about early removal of park Satellites, particularly in Community Park.
