Police Chief Harder <br />indicated the Police Forfeiture Fund would be used to purchase the body cameras. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty questioned how many body cameras the department would be purchasing. Police <br />Chief Harder proposed purchasing eight body cameras and charging stations. He reported the <br />cameras took approximately eight hours to charge. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty inquired how the department would manage the body camera data. Police Chief <br />Harder stated the League of Minnesota Cities had a great model policy that would be posted on <br />the Police Department’s website. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Erickson reported he received a letter from a resident on Dickens Lane <br />regarding the water main break within an easement in September. He discussed the situation in <br />detail with the Council and explained a large amount of sand was washed onto neighboring <br />properties. He stated the City completed a significant amount of clean up but a resident did put <br />in a claim against the City. He explained this claim was reviewed by the League of Minnesota <br />Cities and was denied. However, a request was made again by the resident to have the Council <br />review the matter. He reviewed several photographs with the Council and asked for comments <br />or question. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty thanked Public Works Director Erickson for providing the Council with <br />photographs of the property. <br /> <br />Finance Director Beer believed that the City went above and beyond the required cleanup and <br />explained the City was not negligent in this case. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty requested staff reach out to this resident to see where she was at and report back <br />to the Council via memo. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller understood that the City could now electronically monitor its wells. <br />Public Works Director Erickson reported the SCADA system could conduct this type of <br />monitoring. <br /> <br />Acting City Administrator Crane thanked all of her staff for their assistance with the recent <br />election. <br /> <br />Finance Director Beer stated Nate Danielson has taken another position with YMCA and his last <br />day with the City would be Friday, November 18th. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty wished Nate Danielson well and asked what the replacement schedule would be. <br />Finance Director Beer indicated that YMCA staff has already begun working to fill this position. <br /> <br />C.
