Mounds View City Council October 14, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 12 <br /> <br />want to have too many units but four may be nice so one could be placed at the Community <br />Center. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas asked how often they are used. <br /> <br />Deputy Chief Brennan indicated they are deployed frequently but are not actually used for <br />shocking very often. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas indicated she was not sure why the City would need anything more <br />than four since the Community is relatively small. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre commented that 85% of the children attending Sunnyside live in Mounds View <br />but the area is predominantly patrolled by New Brighton. He then said that he is concerned with <br />the absolute failure of motorists to obey the law with regard to pedestrian crossings. <br /> <br />Council Member Quick asked if the department uses the unmarked vehicle for patrol. <br /> <br />Deputy Chief Brennan indicated that since the unmarked squad was involved in an accident a <br />number of years ago the policy has been not to use it as it does not have the same level of <br />emergency lighting as the regular squads do. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre asked if the unmarked squad would be adequately set up for speed patrol. <br /> <br />Deputy Chief Brennan indicated that the unmarked vehicle could make traffic stops but said that <br />it would not participate in pursuits once the marked squads have joined in. <br /> <br /> H.
