Residents Requests and Comments from the floor
Nancy Burmeister, president of the Mounds View League of Woman Voters, appeared
to request Council consideration of a Village newsletter published monthly. She
presented information that there were 3,026 living units in the Village with only
650 - 700 units receiving the New Brighton Bulletin. She proposed a 3rd class
mailing at a cost of $.070 each piece.
Bulk Fee $30.00
Permit 15.00
$45.00 $.015
Postage .038
Printing .017
$.070
(on 3,000 pieces est.)
She informed the Council that the League would assist in the assembly of the
newsletter excluding the contents. Discussion followed on the desire of persons
to be informed and possible encroachment on the New Brighton Bulletin circulation.
Item was tabled until further study.
Donald Bona of the B and E Patrol appeared to answer questions from the Council
and interested residents on his service provided in Mounds View. Mr. Bona
presented statistics on 69 and 70 patroling (presently one hour per day) since
he started in 1956. He felt that the dog problem has increased 50% in the last
five years.
Certain citizens favored a leash law which Mr. Bona and the Council felt would
be ineffective and merely increase the bite cases in the Village. Mr. Bona
mentioned the methods of dog catching including citizen warnings and dog
impounding and disposal. It was decided to authorize Attorney Meyers to prepare
an amendment to the dog ordinance increasing impounding fees and pick up charges
in addition to requiring current rabiesshot certifications before dog licenses
are issued. Mr. Meyers is to check into a leash law also.
