Public Works Director DeBar noted the school district does reimburse the City. He further reviewed the finances with the Council. Mayor Flaherty thanked Public Works Director DeBar for his detailed report. 2. Police Department Quarterly Report Police Chief Kinney reviewed his quarterly report with the Council. He noted the calls for service this quarter were in comparable to last year. The department did have some personnel movement in the third quarter. Sergeant Mike Kampa retired after 31 years of service in law enforcement. He will be greatly missed by the department. Also, the department lost the public services officer to another community. The City has since replaced this opening. Police Chief Kinney thanked the Council for appointing him as the police chief for the City. He indicated a gun safety course sponsored by the DNR was put on by several officers in the department. This was a hunter's safety course focusing on firearms safety, first aid and hunter responsibility. The course instructed 10 youth in the community. Police Chief Kinney noted a level -three predatory offender meeting was very well attended by the public in quarter three. National Night Out was very successful in August with 27 parties registered in the City. The Festival in the Park was also a great success without any disturbance issues. Police Chief Kinney indicated he was attending training to become certified as an emergency situation manager in the State of Minnesota. He noted the school resource officer attended a week long crisis intervention course focused on mentally ill adolescents. This was a growing concern on how to handle those who are unstable.
