City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Brian Erickson, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8524, Accepting the Public Works Facility Space Needs Report
Introduction
At the September 8, 2015 City Council Work Session, staff discussed need to retain a consultant to perform a
space needs study. The request for proposals was subsequently approved at the September 14, 2015 Council
Meeting. On October 12, 2015 the City Council approved an agreement between the City of Mounds View and
Oertel Architects to perform the study. Oertel Architects completed a draft of the space needs study on
December 14, 2015 which also incorporated staff comments. This study was provided to the City Council on
December 17, 2015. During their January 4, 2016 work session City Council reviewed the study as presented
by Oertel Architects.
Discussion
At the City Council work session, Oertel Architects presented the space needs study to the City Council.
Council reviewed the report and discussed the various scenarios presented regarding the construction of a
new facility. The consensus of Council at the time was that staff moves forward with planning for the 30-year
growth needs estimated to be 29,272 square feet.
Council also requested that appropriate green/sustainable technologies be included as part of the total project
construction. It is likely that some of the sustainable options would be installed as part of a separate contract
after building construction is completed. This has the advantage of reducing the amount of overhead in the
construction contract while allowing the flexibility to include any new technologies that may be developed in the
near future.
Finally, staff will review financing options for constructing this facility, which is estimated to be $4.5 million.
These options will be presented to the Council at a later date. Total project funding will address design,
construction, inspections and sustainable technologies. Staff will be preparing a request for proposals (RFP)
for design services. The RFP will require the consultant to prepare project estimates as various milestones in
the design process. At each of those milestones staff will review funding in relation to the estimated project
costs. Staff will seek Council approval prior to releasing the RFP to consultants.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution accepting the Space Needs Study,
directs staff to review financing options and prepare a request for proposals for design services for constructing
a new public works facility.
Respectfully Submitted,
Brian Erickson, P.E.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Brian Erickson, P.E., Director of Public Works /City Engineer
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8525, Approving Change Order with Hydro-Klean, LLC for
Sanitary Sewer Lining
Introduction
On May 26, 2015, City Council approved a contract with Hydro-Klean, LLC for slip lining approximately
6,200 linear feet of various diameter sewer lines. By lining these sections of sewer, their remaining
lifespan can be increased since the liner not only eliminates any ground water infiltration but adds
structural strength to the lines. Resolution 8421 awarded the contract in the amount of $240,030.81
with a 4% construction contingency of $9,600.00 for a total amount not to exceed $249,630.81.
Discussion
During the course of construction, Hydro-Klean discovered a difficult area for lining on Pleasant View
Drive due to a large area with ground water infiltration. The amount of ground water, if not addressed,
would prevent the liner from curing properly and could have resulted in a failure similar to what
occurred along Ardan Avenue and Groveland Road in 2015. As a result Change Order 1 (CO 1), in the
amount of $5,930.00 was approved on September 24, 2015 for grouting five joints that were leaking.
During the work approved in CO 1 four additional leaking joints were identified and requiring grouting.
Because the work was in progress these joints were authorized to be added to the work. This resulted
in an additional cost of $3,880.00 to the project. Ultimately, because of the ground water pressure in
this area and the number of leaking joints, staff redirected Hydro-Klean to install the liner along the
sanitary main on County Road I. Prior to installation, Hydro-Klean was required to clean, prepare and
video the County Road I line. As they had already performed this work on Pleasant View, this resulted
in an additional cost of $3,997.48 for the project. As a result, there is a need for Change Order 2 (CO
2) in the amount of $7,877.48.
Currently, funding for this project is from the Sanitary Sewer Fund, 730-4823-7050. The amount
authorized under Resolution 8421 was $249,630.81. This leaves a shortfall of $4,257.48, which would
also come from the Sanitary Sewer Fund, 730-4823-7050. There is currently sufficient funding in the
budget to cover this cost.
The table on the following page summarizes the project costs and funding.
Staff recommends that Change Order 2 be approved in the amount of $7,877.48 and that additional
funding in the amount of $4,257.48 from budget 730-4823-7050 be authorized to complete this work.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Don Peterson, Public Works Supervisor
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8527, Approving the Purchase of a Replacement Engine to
include Installation for Unit #319 Toro Ground Master 4000 Mower.
Background/Discussion:
A responsibility of the Public Works Department includes overseeing the Park maintenance. The Parks
Department mows over 138 acres of turf weekly during the spring, summer and fall seasons. The Department
uses several different mowers to perform the necessary work. Currently in use are two Toro Ground Master
4000 mowers purchased new in 2015 and a Jacobsen Turfcat. With the purchase of the two Toro Ground
Mater 4000 mowers, Public Works Staff has been able to eliminate a full day of mowing.
In 2015 the operator was mowing an infiltration basin with a slight incline. The ground was wet due to some
early morning rain showers. As the operator maneuvered around a utility pole the mower started to tip over.
The operator tried to keep the unit from tipping all the way over by raising one of the wing mowers. However
this gave more momentum for the unit to roll gently on its side. While on its side the engine continued to run,
the operator quickly turned the unit off. The unit was brought to the dealer for inspections and repairs. The
dealer indicated that the engine was ruined and would need to be replaced or rebuilt, as diesel engines are not
designed to operate in the horizontal position.
Staff received a quote for a replacement engine, including installation, from MTI Distributors in the amount of
$10,979.11, which includes any sales tax or delivery charges. Staff worked with Mark Beer, Finance Director
regarding the funds for the replacement and installation of the new engine. Funding will be taken from account
460-4360-7030 (Vehicle and Equipment Fund), with a 2016 budget of $10,000 for a new engine as well as
$8,000 for a utility cart, the remaining funding balance will be taken from account 100-4365-5130 (Repairs
Equipment). (The utility cart that was budgeted to be purchased in 2016 will be delayed until 2017.)
Recommendation:
Staff is recommending the purchase of the new engine to include installation from MTI Distributing, Inc., of
Brooklyn Center, MN, a vendor on the MN Cooperative Purchasing Venture program, in the amount of
$10,979.11, which includes any sales tax or delivery charges. Funds will be utilized from account 100-4260-
7030 and 100-4365-5130. Staff is also requesting a 5% contingency of $548.95, for any unforeseen
expenditures regarding the replacement and installation of the engine.
Respectfully submitted,
Don Peterson
Public Works Supervisor

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8526 Approving Participation in the Minnesota
GreenStep Cities Program
Introduction:
The GreenStep Cities program aims to provide Minnesota cities a clear pathway to
greater sustainability based upon implementing best practices specific to Minnesota
cities of differing sizes and capabilities. Due to the multiple environmental, economic
and social dimensions of the best practices, leadership from the city council is needed
to oversee their implementation and integration with other city and community activities
and with other governmental jurisdictions as may be appropriate.
Discussion:
Staff has already worked through the GreenStep Cities “Checklist” and have identified
numerous areas where we already satisfy entry level requirements. At this point, to join
the Minnesota GreenStep Cities program as a Step One city, Mounds View would need
to adopt a GreenStep Cities participation resolution that names a contact person to be
the City’s GreenStep coordinator. This person can be an existing city staff person, an
elected official or an appointed community member. After internal discussions with
staff, it was determined the Public Works Director Brian Erickson would be best suited
to serve as the appointed coordinator for the program.
Recommendation:
Approve Resolution 8526 formalizing the City’s intent to participate in the Minnesota
GreenStep Cities Program and appointing Public Works Director Brian Erickson to be
the GreenStep Cities Program Coordinator for the City of Mounds View
Respectfully submitted,

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8528 Authorizing Expenditure of Funds for
Consultant Services Associated with the Police Chief
Recruitment Process
Introduction:
On February 8, 2016, the City Council approved Resolution 8520 which authorized
revisions to the Police Chief Job Description and authorized the advertisement of the

the MN Post Board website and the MN Chiefs of Police Assn newsletter. The posting
was also advertised in the Star Tribune with a corresponding posting listed on their
website as well.
Discussion:
Staff had indicated at the Feb 8, 2016 meeting that assistance from a consultant or
consultants would be necessary given the additional scope of work required for this
position. Staff sought proposals from four area executive search firms, three of which
responded: Waters & Company, David Drown Associates, and Setter & Associates.
Brimeyer Fursman did not respond to my inquiry. There will potentially be three
consultants used, with the Phase 1 costs anticipated to reach $9,000, at a maximum.
Phase 2 would be the extensive background check at a cost not to exceed $2,500. The
final phase would involve psychological evaluations which is not contemplated in this
authorizing.
Recommendation:
Approve Resolution 8528 authorizing the utilization of consultant services in association
with the recruitment and hiring of the City of Mounds View Chief of Police, not to
exceed $11,500.

Mounds View City Council November 23, 2015
Regular Meeting Page 2
He discussed the appeal request from Brentley Zaier at 2090 Oakwood Drive in detail with the 1
Council. There was concern with the additional maintenance required with the infiltration basin. 2
Staff requested the Council take comments from the public and uphold the recommendation of 3
denial of the appeal. 4

property. Public Works Director Erickson described the location of the proposed infiltration 7
basin noting it would have a one-foot grade over a four-foot distance. 8
9
Council Member Mueller asked if the City had any wiggle room with the number of infiltration 10
basins that were needed for Area I. Public Works Director Erickson stated the number of 11
infiltration basins was recommended by Bolton & Menk, but noted there was a little bit of wiggle 12
room. He indicated the City could put the property at 2090 Oakwood Drive at the bottom of the 13
priority list. 14

costs the City would have to incur if the infiltration basins were not installed. 17

Benedict Speldrick, 2110 Terrace Drive, expressed concern that his basement would flood if an 8
infiltration basin was located in his front yard. He noted the location of the outlet for the 9
infiltration stating it ran through his yard past his garage. He did not want his garage adversely 10
impacted by water runoff either. Public Works Director Erickson noted the location of the catch 11
basin stating it was to the east of Mr. Speldrick’s driveway. He reported staff would have to 12
further investigate the site to see where the utility easement was located. 13
14
Mayor Flaherty asked if the Council wanted to proceed with this appeal or wait until further 15
information was gathered by staff. 16

well. He stated as it sits now, a meeting was being set up with Commissioner McGuire, 34

an Ordinance Approving the Rezoning of 2408 County Road I from B1, 20
Neighborhood Business, to B2, Limited Business. 21
22
City Administrator Ericson stated Julio Punjani, the property owner at 2408 County Road I, has 23
requested a rezoning of the site from B1, Neighborhood Business to B2, Limited Business. He 24
explained this property has operated as a neighborhood convenience store since 1973. He 25
discussed the history of the property and commented the site has been vacant since mid-2015. 26
He reviewed the Comprehensive Plan with regard to this property and noted the proposed 27
rezoning would be consistent. It was noted the applicant has proposed using the site as a liquor 28
store. Staff recommended the Council hold a public hearing, take public comment and introduce 29
Ordinance 912. 30
31
Mayor Flaherty opened the public hearing at 7:17 p.m. 32
33
Mike Winkel, 7701 Bona Road, supported the B2 rezoning but did not believe a liquor store was 34
a proper fit for this corner given the fact there were three liquor stores within one mile of this 35
location. 36
37
Dave Farrell, 7700 Bona Road, agreed another liquor store was not needed at this location. He 38
feared how traffic would increase in and around his neighborhood if a liquor store were to open 39
on this corner. 40
41
Leah Hager, 2387 County Road I, did not recommend a liquor store be located at this location. 42
She feared how much trash and loitering would be generated by the patrons visiting this site. 43
44
Hearing no further public input, Mayor Flaherty closed the public hearing at 7:19 p.m. 45
Mounds View City Council January 11, 2016
Regular Meeting Page 3
1
Council Member Gunn asked if staff had conducted the analysis and distance requirements in 2
order for the site to be considered a liquor store. City Administrator Ericson stated staff has not 3
completed this analysis. He reported the site could not be a liquor store until the applicant 4
received a liquor license from the City. He provided comment on the other B2 zoning uses that 5
could operate at this location. 6
7
Council Member Gunn further discussed the numerous uses that could be brought to this site and 8
supported the property being updated. 9
10
Council Member Mueller thanked staff for providing the Council with clear definitions of both 11
the B1 and B2 zoning districts. She too feared that another liquor store may not be the proper fit 12
for the site. However, she did support the corner being redeveloped and noted a liquor store was 13
not the only use allowed within the B2 zoning district. 14
15
Council Member Hull questioned if a liquor store would bring about a greater depreciation on the 16
neighborhood than the previous convenience store had, due to trash, noise and increased traffic. 17
City Administrator Ericson stated this may be a possibility but noted this would be difficult to 18
quantify given the fact the site already had trash concerns. 19
20
Mayor Flaherty commented the request before the Council was to rezone the property from B1 to 21
B2 and not to approve a liquor store. City Attorney Riggs advised this was the case. 22
23
Council Member Meehlhause indicated he had his doubts that another liquor store would thrive 24
in the community. However, this would not keep him from supporting the zoning change as a 25
chance from B1 to B2 would offer the applicant more options for the site. 26
27
A member of the audience suggested the City place public garbage cans at the corner of County 28
Road I to assist with the trash situation on this property. 29
30
MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Meehlhause. To Waive the First Reading and Introduce 31

B. Reports of Staff. 19
1. Administrator Updates 20
21
City Administrator Ericson reported staff would have a City Planner candidate for the Council to 22
consider at the next City Council meeting. He indicated the candidate has accepted the position 23
conditionally. He stated the targeted start date was February 1st. 24
25
City Administrator Ericson explained the EDC would be meeting in Friday. The group would be 26
discussing TIF and the City’s tax abatement policy. A recommendation would be made by the 27
EDC and the EDA would then address these items at an upcoming meeting. 28
29
City Administrator Ericson discussed the proposed revenue share with the YMCA for 2015. He 30
noted the City would be receiving $33,194. He stated the YMCA was looking into reinvesting a 31
portion of these funds ($4,900), along with their own excess revenues into new equipment. 32
Further information on this reinvestment would come before the Council at a future meeting. 33
34
The Council supported the reinvestment of these funds. 35
36
City Administrator Ericson discussed the results of the organized garbage collection survey. He 37
explained the direction of the Council was to move forward with the process and for the City to 38
consider organized collection. Staff was still uncertain as to the benefits and cost savings the 39
City would see until further negotiations were completed. He asked if the Council wanted to 40
hold a public hearing in order to put the garbage haulers on notice of the City’s intentions. 41
42
Council Member Gunn was not in favor of holding a public hearing until staff gathered 43
additional information on the benefits of organized collection. 44
45
Mounds View City Council January 11, 2016
Regular Meeting Page 8
Council Member Mueller supported the City holding a public hearing. She believed it would be 1
beneficial to hear the comments and concerns of the residents while the Council considered 2
organized collection as a possibility for the City of Mounds View. 3
4
Council Member Hull questioned when staff could have answers available for the Council 5
regarding organized trash collection. City Administrator Ericson stated this would depend upon 6
what answers the Council was seeking. He provided comment on the process that would need to 7
be followed with a consultant and estimated it would take several months for staff to have 8
answers for the Council. 9
10
Council Member Hull requested staff provide the Council with information from neighboring 11
communities regarding the wear and tear on roads. He stated he would support a public hearing 12
as he wanted to hear from the public on this topic. 13
14
Council Member Meehlhause was in favor of delaying a public hearing at this time given the fact 15
the City just completed a survey. He noted this item has been on past Council agendas and no 16
comments have been received. He recommended the Council and staff continue to gather 17
information on organized collection and to see if a consortium effort could be pursued. 18
19
Mayor Flaherty understood the Council wanted additional information. In order to gather this 20
information staff would have to enter into negotiations with haulers. He stated this information 21
would then provide the Council with details regarding costs. He believed the Council was also 22
interested in learning more about how streets were being impacted by garbage haulers. City 23
Administrator Ericson estimated it would cost the City at least $10,000 to $20,000 to hire a 24
consultant to study the impact numerous garbage haulers have on public streets. He indicated he 25
could provide the Council with information on neighboring communities’ studies but the results 26
would not be specific to Mounds View. 27
28
Mayor Flaherty requested staff provide the Council with a timeline and estimate how much staff 29
time would be involved to further investigate this matter. City Administrator Ericson reported he 30
could look into this and would report back to the Council. 31
32
Council Member Mueller questioned if the Council supported a public hearing on this topic on 33
February 8th. 34
35
Mayor Flaherty was in favor of holding a public hearing but wanted to have more information 36
from staff prior to taking comments from the public. He questioned if the Council would support 37
staff moving forward with the 60 day negotiation process with haulers. He believed this would 38
be the only way the City would have detailed information regarding rates. 39
40
MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Meehlhause. To Authorize Staff to move forward with the 60 Day 41
Exclusive Negotiation Process with Trash Haulers. 42
43
Council Member Mueller asked if the Council wanted to also authorize staff to complete a street 44
study. 45

School Resource Officer (SRO):
The SRO duties were handled by Officer Brian Schultes during the first 5 months of the
school year at Edgewood Middle School. Beginning in September of 2015, Officer Kirk Leitch
took over as the assigned SRO.
As a review, the following duties are typically carried out by the SRO on a daily basis at
Edgewood School:
• Assisting with traffic flow in front of the school
• Ensuring the school is secured each morning
• Providing a police presence in the hallways during passing times and in the cafeteria
during lunch times
• Investigating crimes that occur on school property
• Assisting patrol by performing follow-up on cases that involve students or school
property
• Assisting with lock down, fire, and severe weather drills
• Serving as a member of the school crisis team
• Providing police support to school dances and after school activities
• Assisting at Pinewood Elementary/The Bridges as needed
• Being a liaison between the school and the police department
• Forming positive relationships with students
7
• Maintaining the school radio communications system
• Deescalating out of control students
• Communicating with juvenile probation officers
• Operation of the school surveillance system
• Locating truant/missing students
• Locating and recovering stolen bikes, electronics and other property
The school continues to take proactive measures to keep incidents requiring law enforcement
intervention to a minimum. The results of this are evident as fewer actual police reports have
been filed so far this school year. During this past quarter no significant incidents were
reported, other than a few lost cell phones, a set of lost keys, and a damaged Chromebook.
The cell phones were immediately recovered, and the lost keys were found and turned in by
a student. The damaged Chromebook was repaired as the incident was found by the school
to be unintentional.
The school also continues to work on school safety procedures and practices. The school
has conducted multiple fire drills and lock down drills. The school is also reviewing
procedures for better safety practices and security, including access to the building, visitors in
the building, and the possibility of more security cameras. A meeting between school
administration and local law enforcement/ public safety representatives occurred to discuss
active shooter protocols.
This last quarter, Edgewood Middle School has also hosted a number of events, including the
school play, band and choir concerts, parent communication nights, as well as the MV Lions
Breakfast with Santa. The school also continues to host several after school activities
including sports, student clubs, and extra educational assistance for students.
Edgewood Middle School staff also provided extra support to families in the community over
the holiday season.
The school is looking forward to the next quarter, as 5th grade students will be enrolling to
attend Edgewood Middle School for next school year. 8th grade students will also be
enrolling for high school as well, as they complete their final year at Edgewood. The school
advises that should anyone have any questions about the school, programs, or enrollment, to
please contact them.
Toward Zero Deaths (TZD)
Once again this year, the Mounds View Police Department participated with other law
enforcement agencies in Ramsey County to conduct hi-visibility traffic enforcement. This joint
venture is known as the “Ramsey County Traffic Safety Initiative (RCTSI)”. The RCTSI
program is funded by the Federal Department of Transportation and overseen by the
Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety.
8
During 2015, the RCTSI hosted 45 traffic enforcement events. The main focus of these
events is DWI, speed, distracted driving and seatbelt enforcement.
Over the course of those traffic enforcement events 9,175 hours were worked by 151 Officers
from all the area departments. There were 15,282 traffic stops conducted. 499 DWI arrests
were made. Officers also issued 3,862 speeding and 1,864 seatbelts citations.

In October, the RCTSI held the year end appreciation banquet for all the officers who worked
so hard to make this year’s efforts such a success. Several Mounds View officers were
recognized at the banquet with “certificates of appreciation”. This year’s banquet was hosted
by the Saint Anthony Police Department. A good time was had by all.

Canine (K-9) Unit
In 2015, Nick and Niko conducted meet and greet
demonstrations for events in the city including the
annual Town Hall Meeting, Festival in the Park,
National Night Out, and the Firearms safety course that
our officer’s teach through the Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources.
Our K-9 team showed off their skills for the kids at
Edgewood Middle School. The students are taking a
class in “Careers with Animals”. Niko showed off his
skills in obedience, article searches, apprehensions,
and narcotics searches. This was well received by the
kids and staff.
Niko also performed a demo for a Girl Scout Troop.
The impact of the demo led them to pursue the task of
raising money for a K-9 vest. Niko already had a K9
Vest but the Blaine Police Department was setting up a
new K-9 and would need a vest. The troop raised the
money for the vest and hosted a ceremony at Blaine City Hall where Nick and Niko were
requested to attend and awarded a plaque.
In March, Nick and Niko competed in narcotic’s trials. They were competing with many other
K-9 teams in the area. Niko successfully completed trials and recertified for narcotics
detection.
Nick and Niko also participated in their third United States Police Canine Association
(USPCA) Region 18 K-9 trials. Our K-9 team did a great job, and they obtained high marks
from the judges. This is an annual event that gathers K-9 units from around the region to test
their skills in several different areas of field work. This includes apprehension, article
searches, agility and obedience. We are very proud of their accomplishments!
In August, Nick and Niko participated in the National Night Out Event and attended several
block parties to introduce them to Niko.
Additionally in August, our K-9 team performed at the Mounds View annual Festival in the
Park event. This event was well attended and enjoyed by a good crowd of observers.
Over the 2015 year, the K-9 unit was deployed 59 times and conducted 18 meet and greets
and demonstrations.
Officer Erickson and Niko are proud to serve the citizens of Mounds View and they are an
integral part of the Mounds View Police Department. The K-9 team conducts daily trainings
that include other Mounds View Officers so all are accustomed to working together. If you
would like more information about the K-9 team or would like to make a donation to help
cover the cost of training and care, please contact the police department at 763-717-4070.

News from the Department 2015
The department has transitioned to a new county wide Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and
Records Management System (RMS) in March 2015. This effort has been years in the
planning, research and implementation with both systems “going live” on March 24-25, 2015.
As a review, the CAD system is a combination of the hardware, software and services the
Ramsey County Communications Center utilizes to provide dispatching and communications
service to individual cities within Ramsey County. The Records Management System (RMS)
is a program where all police reports, records and data are maintained.
This transition to the CAD system occurred through all of the agencies in Ramsey County
while the RMS change was made by the Mounds View Police Department as well as the New
Brighton Police Department, Maplewood Police Department and the Ramsey County Sheriff’s
Department. In July, a transition to electronic citations using the same RMS vendor occurred.
Officers are able to generate citations in their squad vehicles, print off the ticket to distribute
to the violator and the ticket is electronically submitted to the RMS and state court system.
In April, Officer Darrell Meyer and Officer Keith Demarest received lifesaving awards from
Allina for their roles in providing assistance on a cardiac arrest situation in Arden Hills. The
survivor was so grateful he arranged to meet many of his rescuers during a meeting at the
Allina Operations Center.

In continuing efforts to promote better police community relations, the police department
organized and hosted a NFL Punt, Pass & Kick competition, September 19th at the
Edgewood School athletic field. Led by Officer Garland, several officers assisted with the
event, which was open to kids between 6 and 15 years of age. Over 50 boys and girls
registered for the event displaying their football skills. The winners from each age division are
eligible to move on to the next regional round of competing and eventually could qualify to
appear at a NFL playoff game. The event was held on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and
was a lot of fun for all involved.

In November, a food drive collection was organized by Officer Garland and Officer Schultes
and was held at Aldi’s Foods. The goal was to collect donated food items to deliver to Second
Harvest Heartland and the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf.
15
The response was overwhelming as a total of 759 lbs of donated food was collected and later
provided to the Second Harvest and Ralph Reeder!

Beginning in September and lasting into November, the police department conducted an
extensive investigation into the missing person case of Henry McCabe. Mounds View Police
investigators and other police staff devoted substantial time and resources into this
demanding investigation. Many challenges were presented in addressing cultural differences.
Ultimately, the missing person was tragically located deceased in a New Brighton lake.
On October 29, 2015, Chief Kinney participated in a Community Drug Forum held at Mounds
View High School. This involved a partnership with the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Dept, New
Brighton Police Department and Mounds View Police Dept., along with the “Know the Truth”
organization to provide education on drug abuse issues for teens and families.
Finally, on December 16th, a Shop with a Cop event was held at the Shoreview Target
location. Members of the Mounds View Police Department teamed up with the Ramsey
County Sheriff’s Department to make the holiday season more enjoyable for several families
of students enrolled in the Mounds View School District. The schools identified students and
families in need and the officers took them out for a night of shopping.
Officer Nate Garland was again the lead organizer of this most enjoyable experience for not
only the students involved, but for the officers present who helped with the shopping and the
gift-wrapping of the items purchased.

Training Report

Board) license by attending a required number of continuing education hours on an annual
basis. Many courses the officers will attend are mandated each year, such as the use of force
