COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 25, 1995 CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 95 -130, SUPPORTING A COUNTY- WIDE CURFEW ORDINANCE, CHIEF PECCHIA The Anoka County Board is considering a curfew ordinance that will conform to others in the metropolitan area. The Board is also asking all Law Enforcement Agencies in Anoka County to endorse the concept of a uniform juvenile curfew ordinance. The City of Lino Lakes finds that juvenile violence and crimes committed by juveniles are of great concern. In addition, juveniles are susceptible by their lack of maturity and experience to participate in unlawful activities and to be victims of older perpetrators of crime. Therefore, the Lino Lakes Police Department is requesting that the Lino Lakes City Council adopt a Resolution No. 95 - 130, In Support of Establishing a County Curfew Ordinance in Conformance with other Metropolitan Counties. Council Member Elliott moved to adopt Resolution No 95 - 130. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 95 - 130 can be found at the end of these minutes. CONSIDERATION OF A PERMANENT REPLACEMENT FOR POLICE SECRETARY, CHIEF PECCHIA Chief Pecchia explained that the full -time clerical position has been held open since March, 1995 for the anticipated return of the employee. This clerical person has exhausted all accrued vacation and sick time. The Family Medical Leave benefit has been exhausted and the clerical person has been placed on an unpaid Leave of Absence. The employee is not able to return to work at this time and future prognosis is uncertain. Chief Pecchia requested that the present clerical person's employment be terminated to enable the Police Department to fill the position with a full -time permanent employee. The City Council considered all other options that would not terminate employment of the present clerical person but allow the City to fill the position. Chief Pecchia noted that the position requires specific training and the training sessions will be held in November. If the City is considering hiring another clerical person, Chief Pecchia should be authorized to advertise the position as soon as possible. Chief Pecchia and Mr. Schumacher were asked to research all possible opportunities to be fair to the current employee and update the City Council at the next Council work session.
