(POLICE CONTINUED) <br /> Had two "smash and grabs" this past week, both at gas <br /> stations. Party(ies) smashed the window and grab whatever <br /> they can. Cigarettes are the main thing taken. <br /> The Police Department agreed to organize the Annual Picnic <br /> again this year. It probably will be held the first week <br /> in August. Details to follow. <br /> Our Police Department will participate with other Ramsey <br /> County Police Agencies in a "Turn In Your Guns" campaign. <br /> This campaign will run during the month of July. If you <br /> turn in your gun, you will get a certificate of donation <br /> worth $50 for tax purposes. The Police Department will <br /> turn this gun in and receive $50 to be used for the D.A.R.E. <br /> Program. The money is donated by corporate sponsors. If <br /> you want more details -- give the Chief a call. <br /> PUBLIC WORKS <br /> The initial housing inspections of multiple family buildings <br /> should be complete by the end of June. Follow-up <br /> inspections will be required for over half of the buildings <br /> inspected. The vast majority of follow-up inspections are for <br /> minor items such as window screens and smoke detectors <br /> that are not working. Although these are minor items to <br /> repair, they are significant in terms of safety. <br /> The-annualstreetrating-program-is-underway. This-involves <br /> driving every street in the City and visually rating and <br /> recording the defects present. The person doing the rating is <br /> driving a City car and occasionally raises concerns of <br /> residents as he drives very slowly through their <br /> neighborhood. Residents that have called in the past are <br /> relieved-to--know-what-exactly-is--occurring. <br /> The street department has completed the second round of <br /> street sweeping in the City. <br />
