The first item of- business was an informal discussion with the Chief <br /> of Police, Don Hickerson, about questions .and concerns of the <br /> Council. <br /> a. The St. Anthony •Fun Center was discussed. Some Councilmen <br /> related the substance of calls - and complaints they have <br /> received over the years:. . Many times substance. may be lacking <br /> in the complaints and they may only be parents who are unable <br /> to keep their children out of the Center and away from the <br /> games . It was generally agreed that the Manager runs a clean <br /> operation and he himself calls the police frequently to handle <br /> problems and attempts to work closely with them. <br /> • As a side discussion, -the use of- c'omplaint forms_ was discussed <br /> _as=a,;means_-of recording and=classifying calls . This .is a-. good <br /> recordkeeping function as .well as a method to determine if a <br /> particular problem really has had. "lots" of complaints . <br /> b. Chief Hickerson reported .that 'there are .two Police Reserves , <br /> that they will be receiving their final four-hour training <br /> session on Saturday, May 8th .and will try to be scheduled for <br /> introduction to the Council at -their May 11th meeting. He <br /> also stated that a possible additional Reserve . Officer has <br /> expressed. interest, but lives in N.,E. Minneapolis . The Council <br /> generally agreed that such applications should be brought on <br /> a -c-ase-.by=.case-basis but. that:this particular- one would',p'robably <br /> be favorably considered. Mayor Sundland also felt that Jim <br /> Schwartz ('St.,- Anthony Bulletin) should. be contacted for pub- <br /> licity- on the new Reserves completing training. <br /> C. The use of MAPSI (animal patrol) services was discussed. <br /> Councilman Ranallo had a discussion with one of the MAPSI <br /> officers and found that .they pick up virtually no animals when <br /> on patrol. More often, they will pick up injured'" animals or <br /> those which have already been .captured. It was felt that <br /> perhaps the Police could watch at-large animals more closely <br /> and issue tags when ownership can be proven. <br />
