1 The Mayor indicated he had not realized the weekend bus service between Apache and Northtown had been discontinued until the President of the s Apache Merchants Association approached him about getting that service 4 restored. He said he first called the MTC and found out they had 5 dropped that service way back in 1987. At their suggestion he had then 6 called the Regional Transit Board where Cindy Fish told him that, 7 although the agency was subsidizing some north suburban bus lines, the 8 Medicine Lake Bus only provided weekend service between Brighton 9 Village and Northtown. Mayor Sundland said he had convinced Ms. Fish 10 to reconsider including bus service to Apache at least during the heavy 11 shopping seasons and had arranged for her to work out the details with 12 Greg Perke, Manager of the Herberger's store. 13 Policeman's Comments to Vandalism Victim Reported to Chief Hickerson 14 The Police Chief had been present for a good deal of the meeting and 15 Mayor Sundland indicated he thought the Chief should be made aware of 16 the complaint against one of his men which the Mayor had received from 17 a resident who had called him that evening. The resident had indicated 18 he had called the police one morning the previous week to report a 19 vandalized vehicle and been told by the officer who responded that 20 "with the shortage of manpower on the force, you're lucky we got here 21 as fast as we did but we probably won't be able to investigate this 22 anyway." The Mayor said it troubled him that concerns about the 23 adequacy of the City's police force had been raised with this resident 24 and promised to furnish Chief Hickerson with specific details of the �5 incident so he could investigate the matter further with the officer in question. 27 Further Information on the Septe 28 League of Local Governments and 29 Later by Councilmember Makowske 30 The Councilmember indicated she would be distributing the pertinent 31 information she had received during the RCLLG meeting and the 32 legislative committee meeting which preceded it to the other 33 Councilmembers. 34 Enrooth Reports Successful Fishing Trip to Lake in Ontario 35 The Councilmember had expected to be gone for the meeting that evening 36 but he said rain had forced an early return from his vacation. He told 37 the Councilmembers that he perceived that a lot of the rainfall the 38 metropolitan area hadn't gotten had fallen instead up further north 39 because the lake he was on had risen four feet since the middle of 40 June. It was hard for him to visualize just what four feet of water 41 on 1,500 square miles of lake meant in terms of amount of water, the 42 Councilmember said. 43 President Reagan Invited to Grand Opening of Gopher One Call October 44 10th
