<br /> MINUTES <br /> City Council <br /> November 19, 1980 <br /> Councilman Fahey stated that he agreed with Mrs. Scalze's statements. <br /> Ms. Clausen stated that there was more at Canadian Days for everyone to <br /> enjoy. <br /> Mugs Nardini stated that she served on the Committee this year. Nardini <br /> felt there was a lack of communication on the subject of police protection. <br /> Mrs. Nardini stated that Canadian Days is the only event that offers <br /> something for the person that falls between the senior citizen and the <br /> very young. Nardini did not feel the funding for Canadian Days should be <br /> cut back. <br /> One of the Committee members commented that the merchants in Little Canada <br /> benefit from Canadian Days. <br /> Mrs. Scalze asked if the Committee was asking for the same amount of money <br /> each year. Ms. Clausen replied that it was. <br /> Mrs. Nardini stated that the money goes hand-in-hand with Council backing. <br /> Mrs. Scalze stated that the Committee should have come in at budget time <br /> and pushed their cause with the Council. It was commented that the Committee <br /> was just sorting themselves out from the Celebration at budget time and <br /> were not prepared to meet with the Council then. <br /> Ms. Clausen also stated that the Committee does raise $15,000 for Canadian <br /> Days on its own. Also the Lyons Club, the Recreation group and the Snowmobile <br /> Club also make money off of Canadian Days. Ms. Clausen also stated that <br /> it was the City in the form of Ray Hanson that approached citizens with the <br /> idea of Canadian Days. <br /> Fahey stated that he will give his support as a Councilman to Canadian Days. <br /> Fahey stated that his biggest problem is the lack of police protection. <br /> Mayor Hanson commented that the Committee thought there would be police <br /> protection at the Celebration. Hanson suggested that the Committee pursue <br /> this subject with the Sheriff's Department. Hanson stated that a commitment <br /> should be gotten on paper. <br /> Fahey asked how many sheriff's deputies could be gotten for this type of <br /> festival. Fahey also questioned if the City should allocate additional <br /> funds for police protection. <br /> Captain Falvey of the Sheriff's Department stated that there is one deputy <br /> on duty in the City at all times. Falvey commented that for activities as <br /> the Canadian Days Gelebration the Department tries to get volunteer reserves. <br /> The quantity of reserves depends on the other activities that are going on <br /> in the County at the same time. Captain Falvey also stated that arrangements <br /> for reserves and additional deputies should be made some time in advance <br /> of the activity in question. Falvey stated that the summer schedule is <br /> usually made up right after Winter and before the Summer activities begin. <br /> Dennis Forsberg stated that Chuck Zacharias was at Canadian Days and he <br /> felt there should have been 15 deputies on duty. <br /> Page -3- <br /> <br />
