HANCE TELEPHONE <br /> JOEL T. LEVAHN (612) 7BI-6539 <br /> A551STANT <br /> TERESA H. CRAVEN <br /> February 24 , 1983 <br /> Mr. David Childs <br /> City PSanager <br /> City of St. Anthony <br /> 3301 Silver Lake Road <br /> Minneapolis , Minnesota 55418 <br /> Dear Mr. Childs : <br /> In further clarification of my proposal to represent the City of <br /> St. Anthony in criminal prosecutions., and in response to your request <br /> for specific information, I am pleased to provide the following: <br /> (1) I , personally, am very familiar with the procedure and law <br /> related to criminal prosecutions because I have defended <br /> against such prosecutions on a regular basis for more than <br /> thirteen ( 13) years. This experience includes several jury <br /> trials in gross misdemeanor cases , dozens of court and jury <br /> trials in DWI cases , and numerous trials on other offenses <br /> such as assault-, careless/wreckless driving, and other <br /> traffic related cases , ordinance violations , etc. I have <br /> prosecuted appeals in such cases to District Court, to <br /> three-judge District Court panels , and .to the Minnesota <br /> Supreme Court. <br /> While I may do the prosecution work at the onset, it is not <br /> my intention to ,continue to personally perform that job. Our <br /> office staff currently consists of two attorneys , a part-time <br /> paralegal, a part-time secretary and a full-time secretary/ <br /> legal assistant. It is our intention to add another experienced <br /> attorney to assist in the present workload. If we are performing <br /> prosecutorial services for the City of St. Anthony, we will add <br /> an attorney with experience in the area of criminal prosecutions. <br /> We have considered an attorney currently working as an assistant <br /> county attorney and another currently working as an assistant <br /> city attorney. We expect that a new attorney would be a long- <br /> term employee and would continue to handle the St. Anthony <br /> prosecutions. In any case, I would retain supervisory <br /> responsibility over, the performance of that task and would <br /> • maintain close contact with the council, police department <br /> and other responsible city employees. <br />
