• • Eagle Brook Church h I ZUD�f' After the 1 -7 -08 council work session, I had conversations and e -mails with Barbara Bor as well as Eagle Brook Church. (Scott Anderson) Below is a timeline on the chain of events. • November, 2007: o Eagle Brook has discussion on ways to improve the lighting at the entrance and exit to the church. o Church met with Connexus Energy to discuss lighting options. • For approximately $6,000.00 they could purchase additional lighting for the entrance and exit to the church. • January 7, 2008: • After the council work session, I sent Ms. Bor e -mail and offered to meet and discuss the lighting. o I offered a meeting date of Saturday, January 19, 2007. • This meeting was to discuss the lighting options, and to take members of the neighborhood to Isanti where they could see the lighting that is identical to what Eagle Brook was proposing. • These are the only lights in the area that would be the same as what Eagle Brook had proposed. • I felt it was very important that neighbors see the exact lights that Eagle Brook was looking at putting in. • Ms. Bor replied to my e -mail with the following: o Sergeant Hammes, Mr. Heitke summarized the discussion from the Monday, Jan 7th Council work session at the end of the time with Council and Staff. I did not realize you expected to hear from me and thought your department was going to explore alternative lighting with the Church. Please call me at 612 - 273 -5036. I should be available after 10:30 today. Thank you. BBor • January 14 -18, 2008: • Ms. Bor asked that when the church picks a permanent decision on lighting, I call her and set up a meeting. o Mr. Bor will then notify her neighbors and we will meet to discuss the lighting. • She stressed she is concerned on what effect the lights will have on the property values of the surrounding neighbors. • Ms. Bor stated that officer safety was her biggest concern, and she did not want to jeopardize their safety in any way. • January 21, 2008: • I called Scott Anderson at Eagle Brook the week of 1 -21 -08 to discuss the lighting situation. o Scott informed me that due to costs, they were exploring the possibility of placing concrete pads near the entrance and exit to the church.
