Regular Council Meeting' March 26, 1991 page 6 1 Chief Engstrom stated there were 302 alarm calls in 1990, 301 in 2 1989 and 369 in 1988. He noted nearly all of these calls were to 3 private homes. Councilmember Enrooth inquired how many property 4 owners were fined for an excess of the alarm calls which were 5 false alarms. The Chief responded there were no fines levied as his department is not set up yet to handle the data. Councilmember ' Enrooth suggested the Council may want to consider changing the calls R in six months to two. It was felt that alarm systems did discourage 9 quite a few burglaries. 1C 11 Dennis Cavanaugh felt property owners who have alarm systems are 12 getting an extra level of service from the Police Department and 13 should be expected to pay for it. Councilmember Enrooth suggested i4 a clearer explanation for the $25.00 permit fee should be drafted . 15 for residents by staff. Mayor Ranallo requested VanderHeyden and Chief . 16 Engstrom collaborate on drafting this document . 17 18 C. Council Reports 19 20 1 .

Com-. 22 missioner Makowske , two staff people from Alderman Dziedzic' s office, 23 two City of Roseville staff members and two representatives of Barr 24 Engineering attended. The Mayor noted that Senator Marty and Repre- • 25 sentative McGuire had been invited but did not respond nor attend. 26 27 Barr Engineering staff explained that water backs near 29th Avenue 28 from St . Anthony Boulevard and Wilson Street. The pipes going down 29 Highway n88 are 54" in circumference.. Three 48" pipes come into the 30 54" pipe from Minneapolis, St. Anthony and Roseville. The engineering 31 firm felt that pipes with the dimension of 48" all emptying into 32 a 54" pipe simultaneously could be the cause of the back up as could 33 the fact that the pipe from St . Anthony enters the larger pipe at an 34 angle. 35 36 Barr Engineering advised it would charge $1 ,200 to do an engineering 37 analysis. Minneapolis indicated it has no funds and feels this is 38 not a problem of their City. Hennepin County may have some funding. 39 40 Barr Engineering will be making a presentation on this project at 41 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 3rd in the St. Anthony City Hall .
