1 Sports Boosters Didn't Get Full Story About Their Equipment Carrier's 2 Car Being Towed 3 Mr. Pricket recounted the incident where Jerry Hansen's automobile 4 which had been parked next to the Booster's storage building near the 5 water filtration plant had been towed, costing the Booster Equipment 6 Manager $55.00 to get it back. The Sports Booster spokesman suggested 7 the City Police be given the license numbers of the two vehicles which 8 transport Boosters' equipment so they would know they were legitimate - 9 ly in that particular location in the future. 10 Mr. Childs told the Council the matter had been taken care of the 11 moment Mr. Hansen had called the City Hall to complain about what had 12 happened. He said Mr. Hansen had not had to pay the towing fee and 13 the tag had been forgiven. Councilmember Enrooth told Mr. Pricket 14 that given the circumstances, he perceived the officer in question was 15 only doing his duty. 16 Councilmember Ranallo wondered if this hadn't been one of the type of 17 instances where he had long advocated the Police Department might need 18 to get better trained to have greater "public relations sensitivity." 19 Mr. Pricket promised to see to it that the Sports Boosters knew the 20 whole story. 21 Residents Interested in Council Response to School Board's Suggestions 22 Related to Disposition of Parkview 23 Mrs. Petrie said she had missed the April 24th Council meeting because 24 it had not been listed on the Community Services calendar. She 25 suggested that when the City takes over Parkview it might be benefi- 26 cial to erect a sign in that location advising of community events. 27 She was told the Council had been meeting every second and fourth 28 Tuesday for as long as most Councilmembers could remember and meetings 29 were usually reported in advance on the Kiwanis Club sign at the 30 intersection of Kenzie Terrace and St. Anthony Boulevard. She was 31 also told it had been impractical for the Council to publish its 32 meeting agendas in advance in the newspapers since they are not 33 determined until the end of the week before they are held. Mayor 34 Sundland indicated he thought a service organization funded sign was 35 possible near Parkview once the building finally became the official 36 city Hall. 37 Mrs. Petrie gave the reasons she was present that evening to discuss 38 that transfer, including that: 39 *a great many people she knew had become somewhat skeptical about the 40 School District's dedication to keeping programs like Early Child - 41 hood, Sports Boosters, etc. in the building once the transfer is 42 completed; 14
