-3- <br />March 24, 1975 <br />Councilman Hodges' Report <br />Councilman Hodges commented on the Gun Safety course being offered by the <br />Mounds View Park and Recreation Department. He said he has received good <br />feedback from the boys in his neighborhood. He felt this was a very good <br />public relations tool for the police department. He also commended Thomas <br />Brown who recently graduated from the police basic training academy. <br />MSP (Hodges- Baumgartner) to adopt Resolution No. 670 commending the police <br />department for their volunteer work with the gun safety program and the <br />fine public relations they are fostering with City youth. Also recognition is <br />given to Douglas Bryant, Director of Parks and Recreation, for sponsorship <br />and organization of the gun safety program. <br />Mayor Johnson reported on a burglary that took place on March 19 in which <br />the police apprehended three adults burglarized electrical supplies at the <br />Mounds View Square. One of the adults was armed with a 45 caliber revolver <br />which had been fired twice at one of the policeman's back. Fortunately, <br />the gun mis -fired and no injuries were incurred. <br />D'arcy Bosell said she has dealt with the police several times and thinks <br />that they are doing a great job. <br />Councilman Baumgartner's Report <br />Councilman Baumgartner reported that the Park and Recreation Commission <br />held its meeting on March 6th at Pinewood School. Councilman Baumgartner <br />stated the chairman of the Park Commission had called on the director <br />to report on the North Suburban Day Activity Center and specifically <br />Trevilla Nursing Home. The director reported that Trevilla Nursing Home <br />was no longer a priority of the Center. The only priority for city funds <br />is the purchase of a passenger van for use on field trips and transporting <br />people to work. The Park and Recreation Commission was billed $629.40 by <br />the North Suburban Day Activity Center. Because this is not a recreational <br />activity and was not budgeted, Councilman Baumgartner felt these funds <br />should be taken out of some other fund. <br />Councilman Baumgartner stated that through investigation they discovered <br />that this is a worthwhile organization and provides activities for approxi- <br />mately 14 individuals in Mounds View. <br />Mayor Johnson directed the administrator to report on the status of the <br />budget and report back to Council at the next meeting concerning this <br />expenditure. <br />Councilman Baumgartner stated that tenative plans have been made to <br />conduct a "NAME THE PARK" contest for naming the new Silver Lake Road <br />and County Road H2 park. Flyers will be handed out to elementary school <br />students and prizes will be awarded for the winning entry. Councilman <br />Baumgartner stated that the next Park and Recreation Commission meeting <br />will be held on Thursday, March 27 at 6 :30 p.m., at the city hall. <br />MSP (Baumgartner- Hodges) to accept a cash dedication to the park fund in <br />accordance with Ordinance 42.07 for the Bruflodt and Juntunen subdivisions. <br />5 Ayes <br />
