collected, and Project Childsafe is also responsible for inspecting, refurbishing, and distributing seats it determines to be reusable. The City would not be involved in the actual distribution of collected seats. The City's participation is subject to City Council approval, including approval of the proposal to seek funding from the Lions. Funding would then be subject to the Lions' approval. Michael Haglund moved and John Brynildson seconded that the Commission submit a proposal to the City Council for participation in Project Childsafe. CITYWIDE GARAGE SALE: a. Police Involvement. Barbara Leary reported that the block captains discussed the city -wide garage sale with the Roseville police liaison at their last meeting. The police would like to review the garage sale guidelines when they are completed and may have suggestions for additional guidelines. The police plan to increase their visibility the day of the sale and a McGruff or two will also be on duty. b. Guidelines. The guidelines for identifying unsafe child car seats which the Commission obtained from Project Childsafe will be added to the garage sale guidelines to discourage residents from selling unsafe car seats at the sale. c. Publicity. Realtor Faye Olson included a pitch for the sale in her flyer in the Focus. The Commission also discussed submitting articles or press releases to the Focus and the Bugle to advertise the sale. d. Preparations. A sign -up book will be left at City Hall for participating residents to give their names, addresses, and phone numbers, and to indicate whether their sale will be accessible from the street or an alley. On signing up, residents can pick up a copy of the guidelines, a list of places to take unsold but usable items, and balloons to identify their houses. Susan Smith will get the balloons, as well as a helium tank to fill balloons for the central intersection signs. Jeff Alexander will pick up the list of participants and, with help from other members if he requests it, will prepare a map of participating residences. The map will be distributed by volunteers at two sites, tentatively determined to be City Hall and either SuperAmerica at Larpenteur and Hamline or Coffee Grounds at Hamline and Hoyt. Maps will likely only be distributed for a couple of hours in the morning, not through the entire day of the sale. A large, weatherproof map will also be prepared for display at City Hall on the day of the sale. e. Follow -up. The Commission will call participating residents after the sale to discuss whether the sale should be an annual event and what changes might improve the event. -2-
