Mounds View City Council April 12, 2021 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br />1 and has been a member of the National Guard since the spring of 2016. He reported on June 1, <br />2 2020 he was called up and deployed to East Africa. He stated on October 23, 2020 he received an <br />3 emergency message from his brother (who was living at his house at the time) letting him know <br />4 that one of his dogs got out overnight. He indicated he contacted City Hall and the Police <br />5 Department to see if his husky had been picked up. He noted he also reached out to his neighbor <br />6 to assist with finding his lost dog and posted an ad on Facebook. He learned that all dogs found in <br />7 Mounds View were impounded at the Hillcrest Animal Hospital. He called the Hillcrest Animal <br />8 Hospital and learned this business was permanently closed. He commented his neighbor was able <br />9 to contact a City Councilmember and learned impounded dogs were brought to Otter Lake Animal <br />10 Care in Hugo, Minnesota. He stated the number for Otter Lake also did not work. He explained <br />11 his brother found another number for Otter Lake and learned the lost dog was at this facility. He <br />12 indicated his brother went to this facility right away to pay the $90 impound fee and get the dog <br />13 back. He stated he spent 3.5 hours in the middle of the jungle in Africa trying to get his dog back. <br />14 He commented he had an issue with how this situation was handled by the City. He reported he <br />15 had informed the City, specifically Executive Assistant Barb Benesch that he would be on long- <br />16 term military deployment and had applied for all necessary pet and kennel licenses for his three <br />17 dogs. He questioned why his licensed pet was not brought back home at no cost, since this was the <br />18 benefits listed on the City of Mounds View's website. He believed the Mounds View Police <br />19 Department had more than enough information on file to return the dog. He expressed frustration <br />20 for having to pay an impound fee when his dog was licensed and microchipped with the City. He <br />21 stated his dog was not brought home and the impound did not contact him even though they had <br />22 access to his contact information. He encouraged the Police Department to take a little more time <br />23 on these matters. He proposed a database be created for all licensed pets in Mounds View and that <br />24 the Police Department try and contact owners prior to impounding pets 20 miles away. He stated <br />25 if the City did not have a microchip reader, he would personally donate one to the Police <br />26 Department. He suggested a volunteer task force be created to assist with getting dogs back to their <br />27 owners. He did not want to see pets brought to an impound unnecessarily. <br />28 <br />29 Mayor Mueller thanked Mr. Tilleskjor for sharing his experience with the City Council. She <br />30 thanked Mr. Tilleskjor for his service to the country. She apologized for the experience he had and <br />31 stated she appreciated the solutions Mr. Tilleskjor offered to the Council. <br />32 <br />33 City Administrator Zikmund reported this information was brought to his attention earlier today. <br />34 He noted the City's website has been updated and explained Police Chief Harder was made aware <br />35 of the concern. He explained Police Chief Harder would be making his officers aware of the <br />36 process to follow to look up information for pets. <br />37 <br />38 7. SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS <br />39 A. Proclamation: National Public Works Week. <br />40 <br />41 Mayor Mueller read a proclamation in full for the record declaring May 16 through May 22, 2021 <br />42 to be National Public Works Week in the City of Mounds View. <br />43 <br />44 B. Annual Audit Review — Aaron Nielsen, Principal MMKR. <br />45 <br />
