515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel R. Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: May 23, 1997 <br />RE: Proposed I694/Rice Street Jail Site <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Moreton <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R Hanson <br />Attached is correspondence received from Commissioner Tony Bennett and Sheriff Bob Fletcher <br />regarding the addition of the comer of I694 and Rice Street as a potential site for a new Ramsey <br />County adult detention center and booking facility. Commissioner Bennett has proposed this site <br />to provide a suburban government center including jail facilities, sheriff's patrol, and other <br />county services. <br />Sheriff Fletcher's correspondence indicates his opposition to this site. He has offered to attend a <br />future Council meeting to discuss this subject in more detail should you be interested. <br />At this point in time, I have no recommendation regarding our position on this matter. I would <br />like your input as to whether or not we want to take an official position and if you would like <br />presentations from Commissioner Bennett and/or Sheriff Fletcher. <br />JRH:kpv <br />Enclosures <br />Page 161 <br />
