FROM: Roger Larson, Finance Director
ITEM: JOHNSON CONTROLS — FACILITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Johnson Controls has presented three options for Council consideration to upgrade and
improve the energy efficiency of city buildings. With each of their proposals, there is
payment of annual principal and interest.
Key components of the project funding include:
1) Energy savings
2) Operational savings
3) Owner capital
Energv savings is comprised of reduction in actual utility costs (electric, heat, etc.).
Operational savings is a reduction in the current maintenance costs associated with
maintaining the current buildings as they are now versus the maintenance costs after the
improvements have been made.
Owner capital is the amount of funds necessary that the City will have to dedicate to the
project. Since there is no current budget for this capital expenditure, a funding source
must be established to balance the project.
The following are some financing options available for funding the improvements:
1) Pay Johnson Controls $20,000.00 for consultant services.
a. Using their recommendations for improvements, the City works with
independent contractors to do the necessary improvements.
2) Select a project based on establishing a levy for the amount of owner capital.
a. Option A - $118,449
b. Option B - $100,869
c. Option C - $ 69,553
3) Incorporate the annual cost of owner capital into the current capital equipment
plan. Changes to the budget could include:
Options #1— include the annual owner capital costs into the current capital
equipment budget by permanently cutting the budget.
Options #2 — defer large ticket items (mostly P/W items) until 2010.
i. In 2010 the City issues an Equipment Certificate for the large
ticket items (first year levy = 2011.
ii. The impact is offset by the decertification of the Chandler District.
4) Reduce the project so that the savings equals the cost of the project.

Pratt Request to Change Phase IB Housing Development
On February 5, 2008, the City Council met in a work session to hear a presentation from Len
Pratt, Housing Developer for Silver Lake Village, on a revised concept for the Phase IB
housing.
Mr. Pratt presented an option to change the type and number of units to be constructed in
Phase IB from 128 Condominiums (for sale) to 100 Cooperative Senior Units (for sale). In
addition, he introduced his potential new development partner, Cooperative Communities.
Based upon the presentation and short discussion, Council requested that staff prepare the
following:
1. List of pros and cons of approving the change
2. List of what would need to be updated in the Development Agreement if the change
was approved and if any changes would be required to the PUD that was filed, etc
3. Memorandum on what would happen if the City did not approve the change and legal
ramifications if there was a default as a result
Attached to this memorandum is a list of the pros and cons as well as a memorandum from
Dorsey and Whitney regarding item #2. A privileged and confidential memorandum from
Dorsey & Whitney regarding item #3 above will be sent separately for distribution to the
Council apart from the Council packets in order to preserve its privileged nature.
Please contact me at 651- 697 -8506 with any questions or if you require further information.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mike Mornson, City Manager
FROM: Jay R. Lindgren
DATE: March 3, 2008
RE: Silver Lake Village, Phase IB, Amendments Required in Order to Modify
Len Pratt of Apache Redevelopment, LLC ( "Developer ") has informed the City of St.
Anthony that his team would like to revise Phase IB of the Silver Lake Village project.
Currently the Master Redevelopment Agreement (as provided by the Fifth and Sixth
Amendments) requires that Phase 1 B include:
64 units of for sale housing to be constructed closer to 39th Avenue, with construction
to commence by September 1, 2008; and
64 units of for sale housing to be constructed closer to 38" Avenue, with construction
to commence by September 1, 2009.
Developer now proposes that Phase IB include a minimum of 100 for sale, senior housing
cooperative units within one building. This memorandum outlines the various steps that will
be required if the City Council determines that it wishes to concur with this revision to Phase
IB.
Amendments to Redevelopment Agreement (through new Seventh Amendment
1. Amend Section 1.1 (Definitions, as currently provided in Sixth Amendment) to revise
the definition of Phase 1 B.
2. Amend Section 10.1 (Development Timeline, as currently provided in Sixth
Amendment) to eliminate the separate Phase I13-1 and IB -2 and to set the Desired and
Default Dates for the single building in the revised Phase IB.
3. Amend Section 12.3 (c) & (d) (Reimbursement of Qualified Redevelopment Costs:
Tax Increment Notes), as currently provided in Fifth Amendment) to combine the Phase IB -1
and IB -2 Notes into a single Phase IB Note. The original Redevelopment Agreement stated
that the Phase IB Note was intended to be for a maximum of $3,432,758, based on 128 for
sale housing units. We'll need to determine what the proper maximum amount should be for
the revised senior housing cooperative units.
4. Amend Section 6.1(b) (For Sale Financing Requirement) as may be needed to
change to change the reference to the $3,432,758 in tax increment.
5. Amend Section 6.2 (Special Assessments) to require acceleration of the current
$162,5000 in specials allocated to the Phase IB Residential Property. Currently, the
specials require payment of ongoing principal and interest. Payment of the remaining

principal is to be paid in full upon issuance of a certificate of occupancy "for the first units of
the four For Sale Element buildings." I read this to mean that we required the balance of
$81,250 in principal to be paid upon initial occupancy of the Phase I13-1 units and the
balance of $81,250 in principal to be paid upon initial occupancy of the Phase IB -2 units. I
understand that Ehlers & Associates recommends that the full $162,500 to be paid upon
execution of the Seventh Amendment. An Amendment to this Section 6.2 would be the way
to accomplish this.
6. 1 understand there has been some discussion on whether we need to modify
requirements for the Phase IB Go -Ahead Letter. I do not believe that any modification is
needed. It is covered in Section 6.1(b)(ii). I do note, however, that the Redevelopment
Agreement does have one minor error. There is a reference to the "Phase IA For Sale
Element' when the context of the provision clear means the Phase IB For Sale Element.
This would be a good opportunity to clean this up.
7. 1 have not yet confirmed whether the PUD Agreement dated November 1, 2004
needs to be amended. The PUD Agreement references the PUD General Concept Plan and
Preliminary Plat Submission, dated August 8, 2003. 1 do not have this document. We will
need to locate it and review whether the revised Phase IB is consistent. I can imagine that it
is not consistent, but cannot confirm. So, it is likely that amendments to the PUD Agreement
(through the PUD General Concept Plan and Preliminary Plat Submission, dated August 8,
2003) will also be required.

FROM: Jay Hartman
RE: Snow Plowing Policy
Mike,
In order to make our Snow Plowing Ordinance less restrictive and more user friendly to our
residents based on the 2008 Goal Setting Session, the following is provided for discussion and for
consideration.
The current ordinance is as follows: 920.07 Parking During Snow Removal.
Subd. 1. During the period commencing November 1 of any year, to and including April I of the
following year, no person may stop, park or leave standing a vehicle on any street or highway in the
City of St. Anthony between the hours of 3:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. or in such a manner as to impede
the plowing and/or removal of any snow, ice or waste on the street or highway.
Subd. 2. Whenever it is necessary to the proper direction control, regulation of traffic, plowing
and /or the removal of snow, ice or waste, or maintenance or improvement of any highway or street
to remove any vehicle standing on a highway or street in the City, then any police officer is
authorized to provide for the removal of such vehicle and have the same removed to the nearest
convenient garage or other place of safety. The cost of removal and storage of the vehicle will be
charged to the owner of the vehicle, and to the person causing the violation.
Below are 3 options proposed for consideration:
1. Do nothing.
2. (Delete) — Remove from our policy the "time" restrictions altogether such as "3 am — 7am from
Nov 1 through Apr 1 ". This would require a signage change throughout the City. Secondly, change
current ordinance to read, "No parking on city streets within a 48 hour period after a 2" snow fall or
the street has been completely plowed "Curb to Curb ". In addition, "No person may stop, park
and/or leave standing a vehicle on any street or highway in the City of St. Anthony in such a
manner to impede the plowing and / or removal of any snow, ice or waste on the street or highway.
3. Increase or change the current ordinance "No Parking" time restriction from "3:00 a.m. to 7:00
a.m." to "12:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. ". Majority of all public works plowing operations starts at
midnight and ends before 7:00 a.m.
In addition, provided is the current Snow Plowing Policy for both cities of Lauderdale and Falcon
Heights. One thought would be to modify our ordinance to reflect or to become more uniform with
the other two cities, considering we do the enforcement for all three cities.
City of Lauderdale
Restrictions after Two -Inch Snowfall: No person shall park any vehicle on any street north of
Larpenteur Avenue for a period of forty eight (48) hours, commencing immediately after two inches
(2 ") or more of continous snowfall, or until snow removal has been completed on that street,
whichever occurs first. (Ord. 16, 4 -27- 1993).
City of Falcon Heights
(a) Purpose and policy. The purpose of this section is to regulate the parking of motor vehicles on
the public streets of the city during periods of snow removal. Any motor vehicle parked on a
public street of this city during a period of snow removal, as specified in detail herein, is
declared to be a public nuisance which interferes with and impedes the orderly removal of snow
from said streets, interferes with and impedes the safe movement of emergency and other
vehiclular traffic, and is thus a danger to the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of this
city.
(b) Parking restriction during snow removal. Parking of a motor vehicle on an unplowed public
street or within 30 feet of an intersection shall be prohibited. The term "snow removal period"
means for a maximum of 72 hours commencing after a snowfall where at least two inches of
snow has accumulated on the public streets of this city or until snow plowing has been
completed on each street. (Code 1993, 7- 5.01).
Let me know if you have any questions.

Introduction
Honorable Mayor, Council, City Manager, and citizens of St. Anthony:
It is my pleasure to present the police department's 2007 Annual Report.
2007 marks the 50th year anniversary of the St. Anthony Police Department.
Over the last 50 years, many things have changed, yet some things remain a
constant in our department. Studies have shown that our public appreciates
four important qualities in
government:
• Empathy and Caring
• Competence and Expertise
• Honesty and Openness
• Commitment and
Dedication
While the St. Anthony Police
Department changes to meet the
times, these qualities remain the same. We constantly strive to deliver law
enforcement services with these qualities as a top priority. Our law
enforcement mission is driven by the fact that we genuinely care about our
community and its citizens.
Modern technology, meshed with a 50 year old agency culture of caring and
service, is a wonderful blend. It is a recipe for satisfied citizens and a true
community partnership when it comes to addressing crime in our city.
Techniques, equipment, and technology have certainly changed over the last
50 years. Our community has also undergone some significant changes.
However, our mission, our goals, our connection to the community, and our
dedication to our citizens and businesses will always remain the same.
Respectfully,
johyll 0111/
Chief of Police

2007 Patrol Review
Prepared by Sergeant Dan Diegnau
The year 2007 consisted of several additions, continual opportunities, and
many successes.
The year brought several additions to the St. Anthony Police Department.
Three officers were hired within the 2007 year. Officer Baker and Officer
Schlingman were hired in March of 2007 to cover the
new Lauderdale 24 hours patrol contract. Both
officers have successfully completed the field training
program and are currently on solo patrol. Officer
White was hired in December 2007 to replace an
officer who resigned. Officer White is currently in
field training with a veteran patrol officer.
Opportunities this year again
consisted of obtaining grant finances
for the ACE/Nite Cap Patrol and Safe
and Sober. The grant received from
ACE/Nite Cap Patrol allowed our
agency to add an additional officer on
patrol several weekend nights
throughout the year, enforcing traffic
50's VINTAGE PADDY WAGON
safety. This year's grant was reduced from the previous year. Our agency,
again, participated in the Safe and Sober Program. This program allows for
an additional officer to patrol the community during five separate "waves"
concentrating on DWI, speed, and seat belt enforcement. In the spring of
2007, our agency received a Safe and Sober award consisting of five paid
tuitions to the driving/PIT certification school at the Minnesota Highway
Safety Center.
The below listed statistics demonstrate the high level of effort and dedication
to traffic and community safety.
• 2357 citations for moving violations
• 627 citations for non - moving violations
1155 arrests
The patrol unit arrested a total of 1,155 individuals throughout the year. Of
this total, 831 were traffic arrests (i.e. DAR/DAS /no insurance), 95 were
DWI arrests, 158 were criminal arrests (both misdemeanor and gross
misdemeanor), 45 were arrested for felony level offenses, and 29 were
arrested for outstanding warrants.
Along with the patrol unit's day to day operations, officers participated
throughout the year with community orientated policing programs and
specialized units such as Citizen's Academy, bike patrol, drug recognition
expert, weapons of mass destruction, crime prevention, use of force,
firearms instructor, DARE, tactical response unit, and field training.
The combination of the patrol unit's daily activity and community oriented
programs allows the police and community to work together and create a
safe, secure, and walkable community.

2007 Investigation Review
Prepared by Captain Cotroneo
The Patrol Unit is the largest unit in the department. The officers often bring
to conclusion cases which are reported to them, eliminating the need to refer
them to investigations. Our line officers are encouraged to do this, and are
often successful in doing so.

2007 POLICE EDUCATION SUMMARY
Prepared by Lieutenant Scholl
The following is a summary of the Police Department training in 2007. This
report does not include field training, WMD, SWAT, Reserves, or clerical.
This department, once again, met all requirements that the Minnesota Peace
Officers Standards and Training (POST) demands. Eleven members were
certified or recertified with Emergency Driving/Pursuit Techniques. Every
member qualified in at least (3) POST shoots. Every Officer completed at
least (8) hours of use -of -force training with no injuries. Each of us received
a minimum of (8) hours in the emergency medical field and a (4) hour
minimum covering OSHA. The majority of these two fields were taught by
the St. Anthony Fire Department. They continued to provide informative,
needed training, from a professional staff.
The Police Department completed at least 1708 hours of training in 2007;
with 64% (1108 hours) POST certified. This is the fifth straight year our
POST hours have increased.
Our patrol became fully compliant with Safe and Sober /Drugs /Advanced
Standardized Field Sobriety Testing. If state funds are available in 2008, this
will lead to additional DWI Enforcement. This has led to street awareness
and DWI arrests involving drug impairment.
We expanded our education from 2006 training in the following fields:
• Death Investigation
• Computer Crimes
• Armorer
• School Crime /Terror
• Incident Response
• Crime Prevention
• High Tech Crimes
• Field Training
Sergeant Mangseth did resume his Management Series training and will
continue this in 2008.
14
Two of our officers received their Intoxilyzer 5000 Breath Test Certification
and nine were recertified.
All of us received Active Shooter and Mobile Display Computer training.
We kept our high level of training in 2007. A lot of the federally sponsored
training is no longer free of charge. By certifying our department members
and using fire- rescue personnel, we keep the cost down. We will continue to
call upon our circle of trained professionals for a portion of our training
needs.
In 2008, we will receive legal update and court proceeding training through
the Hughes and Costello Law Firm (Prosecutors for the City of Falcon
Heights and Lauderdale). They offer this goal setting education at no cost.
Also in 2008, we will emphasize Officer Survival. We try to highlight this
every third year.

2007 POLICE RESERVE SUMMARY
Prepared by Reserve Lt. Carolyn Quick
51, AUHU0
RE.SER4E
PO I!E
Again in 2007, the Reserve Unit remained a strong and valuable asset to the
department. We began the year with 12 members. During the year, three
valued officers, Deb Setterberg, Ben Trapskin, and Rosie Meyer, resigned
from the unit. Two left us for family purposes and one for a career change.
All of them were great assets to the unit and will be missed.
In July, we recruited 4 new members. Two of them are well on their way to
the completion of our 3- Phased training program. The remaining 2 new
officers have left the unit to pursue careers with other agencies.
Six of our Reserve Officers attended the 6-
week Hennepin County Sheriffs Department
Reserve School. All of them completed the
course and were graduated in May.
With a total of 2677 hours logged for the
Reserve Unit in 2007, it remains a valued
and integrated part of the department.
Although the final number of hours for
2007 is slightly smaller than 2006, the
Unit acquired the hours with fewer
officers. We end the year with
members in the Unit.
16
The average number of donated hours by our
Reserve Officers in 2007 was approximately
160. I am honored to list those who have gone
far "Above and Beyond" the required 150
hours:
R/Sgt Kiel Rushton - 361
R/Officer Chase Yadeau — 396
R/Lt Carolyn Quick - 598
Some specific 2007 Reserve Unit accomplishments include:
1487 hours of patrol
• 320 hours of training
• 189 hours logged at Village Fest
• 249 hours logged during the State Fair
• 60 hours of Crime Prevention activities
Additional events in 2007 in which the Unit participated
include the collapse of the 35W bridge, role - players in training scenarios,
school functions, parades, ice cream socials, bike parades, The 50th
Anniversary Public Safety Expo, Mardi Gras, The City Halloween Party,
and many more. They also helped local families Christmas shop with the
"Shop With A Cop" program, and assisted other agencies with mutual aid
requests. R/Lt Quick also became a certified CERT instructor.
I am proud to note that R/Officer Elliot Erdman will be moving into a full -
time Police Officer position with our department in February, 2008.
We look forward to the year in front of us. 2008 will include recruiting, an
upgraded Reserve Website and continued growth, responsibility and
progress.

EAST METRO S.W.A.T. SUMMARY
Prepared by Sergeant Jon Mangseth
The 2007 calendar year was marked by positive
growth and change for the St. Anthony — Roseville
Tactical Response Unit (TRU). In April of 2007
the City of New Brighton Police Department took
an active role with the TRU team by attaching
three Officers to the unit. In November of 2007
the North Saint Paul Police Department made the
decision to join the team and is currently in the
beginning stages of selecting Officers.
The St. Anthony Police Department remained committed to three Officers
attached to the team, while the Roseville Police Department has eight
Officers and one Lieutenant attached to the team. The team currently has a
combined strength of 15 Tactical Operators. Up to four Officers from North
Saint Paul will join the team in 2008 once the selection process and Tactical
SWAT training is completed. With the additional jurisdictions, the team
changed its name to the East Metro SWAT Team. A new uniform patch was
designed and implemented to reflect the new multi jurisdictional
responsibility the team now has.
Officer Mark Dokken, Officer Michael Huddle and Sergeant Jon Mangseth
combined for a total of 317 hours of training with the team in 2007. Officer
Dokken attended a Live Fire Shoot House Instructor training course which
incorporated real life dynamic firearms shooting in an indoor environment.
Officer Huddle attended a 2 day VIP training course which focused on
personal escort protection. Sergeant Mangseth attended a Tactical
Breaching course which offered training in manual, mechanical and firearms
breaching entry methods for tactical applications. Officers attended monthly
5 hour training sessions. The training is scenario based and conducted by
individual team members. The training is devised to simulate real life
encounters the team may face in a tactical environment.
The highlight of this year's training was a 5 day mandatory training exercise
at Fort Ripley, outside of Little Falls, Minnesota. The team took full
advantage of the training facilities that the U.S. Army has to offer such as:
the non automated and automated firearms shooting ranges, a walk through
1-F3
range where 2 and 4 man teams are able to move as an element and disable
specific targets as they were presented and a shoot house; specially designed
for tactical teams to enter in a dynamic fashion using distraction devices and
live firearms. Scout Recon training was also emphasized. Experienced
Officers from the East Metro SWAT team were responsible for coordinating
and executing the training.
Team members successfully met all physical fitness standards to maintain
their respective positions on the team.
Officers Huddle and Dokken attended a 3 day S.O.T.A. Conference. The
Special Operations and Tactics Association of the Upper Midwest sponsored
the event which consisted of training seminars, guest speakers and tactical
competitions.
The team was called to serve several times in 2007, and all operations were
resolved without incident.
As we look forward to 2008, the SWAT team will be focusing on continued
monthly training, as well as a return trip to Camp Ripley, to refine skills and
conduct team building exercises.
As team members, we are very proud of the cities we serve. We are very
fortunate to have the commitment and support of our respective Chiefs and
Administration. The
expanded opportunities for
growth, training and
equipment, along with
building working
partnerships with other
police agencies will greatly
benefit the cities we serve.
We will remain strongly
committed to providing a
professional and tactical
response to all high risk
incidents when called upon
to do so.

WMD SUMMARY
Prepared by Officer Huddle
The Hennepin County Weapons of Mass Destruction Tactical Team made
2007 a noteworthy year. Team readiness is a high priority and steadily
increased. Team members (of which St. Anthony has one member) made
great gains through hard work and engaged in superior training events with
agencies at the local, county and federal levels. This included training with
the Minneapolis Bomb
Squad in which teams
successfully navigated
through booby trapped
courses to reach and
complete objectives. An
exercise that recreated a
terrorist event at a school
included working with
tactical teams from two
counties and the National Guard Civil Support Team (CST). The WMD
Team continued to develop a strong and vital relationship with the CST
through frequent cooperative training events. Both teams provide each other
with great resources and strengthen the response and readiness required for
their missions. Training with federal agencies included the FBI and Federal
Air Marshals. Air Marshals trained the team in hostage rescue operations in
passenger aircraft. Last year the entire team went to Camp Ripley for two
days of intensive training operations in simulated urban environments and
live fire weapons training and qualifications. This training proved to be
extremely valuable and is planned as an annual training event in future
years.
The WMD Team's
training experience
and equipment has
directly benefitted
the St. Anthony
Police Department
and the agency's
East Metro SWAT
Team both in
20
training and on actual operations.
Training received at Camp Ripley had a
direct impact on planning and training
operations during East Metro SWAT's
Camp Ripley training experience. WMD
also provided equipment for our own
SWAT team during a recent mutual aid
for barricaded subject incident. A
remotely operated robot was delivered on
site for our team's use from the WMD
Team inventory. Though this robot was not
utilized in that incident, the robot and other
WMD equipment such as camera gear and
hazmat identification equipment is at our
agency's disposal. Our direct participation with
the WMD team makes these resources easier to
access and the knowledge to put it to immediate
use.

Community Service Officer Review
Prepared by Captain Cotroneo
Our Community Service Officer (CSO) was again kept very busy in 2007,
with his various duties and responsibilities.
Kiel Rushton was our CSO in 2007. He
worked as a part time employee for the
first six months of the year, and changed
to full time status on July 15`. Our
department is very fortunate to have Kiel
on board full time, as he's proven to be a
great asset to us. Kiel is a law
enforcement student, working to
complete his training to eventually
become a police officer. Kiel is also a ranking member of the Reserve Unit,
and volunteers many hours to the City.
In 2007, the CSO documented over 500 events throughout the year. Some
of the duties performed by the CSO are as follows:
• Parking Issues
• Animal/Wildlife Complaints
• Squad Equipment Inventory
• Facilitate Maintenance of Squads
• Transports/Prisoners and Detox
• Vehicle Lockouts
• Document Delivery
• Miscellaneous Office Duties
Having the CSO available to complete these duties, keeps officers in the
city, and free to respond to calls for service.
The CSO also is responsible for setting up and monitoring the use of the
speed cart. The cart is placed randomly, throughout the City. It helps by
reminding motorists about the speed they travel on city streets, as well as
with educating the public.

DARE Review
Prepared by Officer Spiess
The D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program continued in St.
Anthony for the 2006 -2007 school year. The D.A.R.E. program gives
information about drugs to kids and strategies to resist them. The kids are
also challenged with real life scenarios and learn to demonstrate how to
make good choices and resist peer pressure. The D.A.R.E. program was
taught to two 5t° grade classes and two 8`h grade classes at St. Charles
Borromeo School, four 5h grade classes at Wilshire Park Elementary and
five 8b grade classes at St. Anthony Middle School. This program is
conducted through a joint effort of the Police Department and the school
district and allows an officer to have a positive impact on the lives of the
students. In addition to teaching D.A.R.E., the D.A.R.E. Officer also served
as a part time School Resource Officer at St. Anthony High School and
Middle School and met with students and parent/teacher groups throughout
the year.

Crime Prevention Summary
Prepared by Sergeant Jon Mangseth
2007 was another busy year for the Officers assigned to the St. Anthony
Police Department Crime Prevention Unit.
We kicked off January by holding our
first ever Cops vs. Kids Basketball Night
at the high school gymnasium. We
played 1 game every 15 minutes, for 2
hours, playing a total of 8 teams. 80+
I •, �L'"' kids from grades 5 -8 were involved. By
all accounts, everyone had a great time.
During March, April and May of 2007, Officer Tressa Sunde, Reserve Lt.
Carolyn Quick and Sergeant Jon Mangseth developed, planned and executed
the second department Citizen Academy. Patterned after the first Academy,
students covered such topics as: Patrol Procedures, Property and Personal
Crimes, Criminal Procedures, DWI/DRE, the Use of Force/Defensive
Tactics, Intro to Firearms, Simunition Shoot, DARE, Crime Prevention and
the Reserve Officer Program. With assistance from Chief John Ohl, Captain
Dominic Cotroneo, Officer Jim Wychor, Officer Mark Mosby, Officer Dan
Johnson and Officer Jeff Spiess, the 2" d Academy was a huge success.
Many of the students remarked at how "hands on" and interactive the
experience was for them. Through the experience, many participants
indicated they were able to dispel currently held myths of law enforcement
and gain a realistic understanding of the police profession.
Spring 2007 Citizen's Academy
24
In March, and again in April, our own Officer Jeff Spiess
received two law enforcement service awards. The first was
presented by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.) for
his extraordinary efforts in traffic enforcement, particularly
in regards to D.W.I. enforcement. In April, Officer Spiess
was presented with the Meritorious Service Award, by the
Minnesota Chief's of Police Association, recognizing his
succession of outstanding acts of achievement over a
sustained period of time.
In April, the Police Department celebrated 50
years of public service by
holding a Safety Expo at
the station. This was a
combined effort with the
fire department and public
works, both of which also
0
had personnel and displays present. The public was invited to take a tour of
the facility, look
through a squad car,
speak to a crime
prevention officer
and meet members
of the police force.
A car seat clinic
was also held to
promote the safe installation and use of child safety seats. Many different
agencies joined us in this promotion of public safety efforts.
25
In June Captain Dominic
Cotroneo, Officer Jeremy
Sroga and Officer Michael
Huddle ran the St. Anthony
(2.6 mile) leg of the Law
Enforcement TORCH run to
benefit Special Olympics. Our
Officer's received the torch and
ran our leg as the prelude to the
start of the Special Olympics.
We gave crime and drugs "A GOING AWAY PARTY" on Tuesday August
7`h, 2007, by sponsoring the 24 "' annual National Night Out (NNO) crime
and drug prevention night. We crushed last year's record of 35 block parties
by holding 43 block parties across the City. Officers were successful in
increasing the number of apartment complexes that held events for their
residents. Cub Foods sponsored the night by donating ice cream to
individuals hosting an event. We partnered with the National Child Safety
Council and handed out crime prevention materials including over 200 child
identification packets. The weather was great and everyone enjoyed taking a
"bite out of crime ".
In August C.P. Officers enlisted Department
Reserve Officers to staff positions during the
weekend Village Fest celebration. Reserve
Officers combined for over 189 hours that
weekend to ensure the safety of those attending
the weekend events.
Several Officers and family members again
volunteered for the Relay for Life event, to
benefit Cancer survivors. The event was an all
night walk at the high school stadium. The
S.A.P.D. team "Cancer Cuffers" raised
approximately $2500 for Cancer Research.
1990 - Dick Engstrom 4th Police Chief
ST. ANTHONYS NEW paike chief Dick Engstrom says he hopes
to have his department Work more closely with the pub l lc,
especially In areas like aims prevention.
In October/November, two Safety Seminars were held at the St. Anthony
City Hall. The first dealt with Computer Safety and was instructed by
Officer Mark Mosby. Social Networking sites and financial exploitation
were topics covered. The second class was instructed by Chief John Ohl,
Sgt. Jon Mangseth, and Officer Tressa Sunde. The topic was Sexual Assault
and Personal Safety. Topics covered were how to recognize a potential
threat and strategies were covered on how to avoid becoming a victim of
sexual assault.
The Department continues to practice the "Community Policing" model
which utilizes all Officers in the way Police services are delivered to
residents. Officers continued using blue courtesy cards to notify residents of
incidents where property has been left unsecured or where other security
issues exist.
26
Officers sat in with six preschool age classes at Community Services.
Parents and students were able to meet a Police Officer and discuss safety
awareness. Tours of the Police Department were conducted. In addition,
tours were conducted at the Police Department for a local Boy Scout troop
and Girl Scout troops.
An Officer visited Chandler place and Autumn Woods, in the fall, and
provided a discussion on Identity Theft to residents.
Officers joined with
employees at Wal -Mart for
two separate events this
year. The first event
consisted of two four hour
Health fairs at Wal -mart in
the months of November
and December. An Officer
was available to hand out
crime
prevention materials and talk about safety. The second
event was "Shop with a Cop ", held in December.
Several Officers were on hand to shop with a young
person who was chosen by the school district. The
event was sponsored by Wal -mart.
Officers logged over 80 "stop and talk" patrol details. These details were
conducted by patrol Officers and mainly consisted of alerting businesses and
residents to observed crime prevention issues.
The Crime Prevention Unit continues to identify and expand on ways to
better serve the community. We would like to thank the residents and
businesses of the City of St. Anthony for their wonderful support. Without
active community involvement our crime prevention efforts would be
greatly diminished.

COMPUTER FORENSICS ANNUAL REPORT
Presented by Officer Mark Mosby
This was the first full year of computer forensics investigations at the St.
Anthony Police Department. Our department applied for, and was awarded,
a very lucrative grant that covered hardware, software, and training in the
computer forensics field. In November of 2006, I (Officer Mosby) attended
that training in San Antonio, Texas and within days of my return, the
hardware and software package had arrived back at the St. Anthony Police
Department.
With a desire to get started in the field immediately, our department joined
the Internet Crimes against Children Task Force (I.C.A.C.). There are very
few computer forensics practitioners in the State of Minnesota, but the
number of computer based child pornography cases continues to rise. I
received my first case almost immediately from the U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (I.C.E.) via the MSP Airport Police. That case was
completed in January of 2007 and since then, I have taken on and completed
eight cases from seven different agencies. Those agencies range from the
very small (Madison, MN Police) to one of the largest in the state, the St.
Paul Police Department. I have been able to assist some of our bordering
agencies as well. Both New Brighton PD and Roseville PD have referred
cases to me. Eight of the nine cases were child pornography cases and the
one remaining one was a narcotics case.
I was one of small group of people selected to attend I.C.A.C.'s national
convention in San Jose, CA in October. Commander Neil Nelson, who
oversees this region's I.C.A.C. chapter, awarded these trips based on amount
of cases handled.
During one of my local training conferences, I
had the pleasure of meeting an investigator from
the Central Bureau of Investigation of India. -_
India's CBI is roughly the equivalent of our FBI.
Shatrujeet Kapoor was very interested in computer
forensics and wanted to observe my activities s
while he was in the United States. He was n
studying an unrelated subject at the University
under a Humphrey Fellowship. Shatrujeet toured our department and I
showed him our computer forensics operation. He returned to India in June.

Presented by Officer Michael Huddle
There's been a lot said on television, radio, and in print. The images
captured were at once spectacular and frightening. Perhaps you were there
that day and experienced it first hand. You may not know that you, as a
citizen of St. Anthony, had something to do with the success of the response
to the collapse. A lot of things had taken place long before this disaster that
you helped make possible.
On my way to the bridge site I was thinking: What will I find when I get
there? Where will I be needed most? How do I get to where they need me?
Who do I check with when I arrive? How will I communicate with other
personnel by radio? What channels will we use?
The St. Anthony Police Department had a big advantage in dealing with
these issues. We work daily with two separate county dispatch centers, and
routinely interact with and assist surrounding agencies. This has forced St.
Anthony Police Officers to become familiar with the 800 MHz radio system
across two counties and be very good at interagency cooperation. There
would be a lot of that to do at the bridge site.
I was operating in a relatively isolated area of the collapse, but operations
were taking place over a wide area. As responders, we were focused on our
own particular area of operation, and there was a lot to do. There were EMS
and firefighters at the scene doing their jobs. I saw doctors and nurses from
HCMC assisting casualties. There were not enough resources where I was
right away, so the EMS personnel were forced to improvise. Many of the
victims were stabilized on large pieces of plywood (rubble from the bridge
structure itself) as makeshift backboards because there weren't enough to go
around. I only saw one ambulance make it through the crowd to where we
were to evacuate the most severely injured. It seemed that people were
coming from everywhere to get close to the collapse. This made securing
the scene and ensuring public safety much more difficult. It also made
evacuating casualties more difficult. With all that was going on, I never felt
overwhelmed. I felt focused and confident. I saw that the firefighters and
EMS personnel were also calm and focused. Police, Fire, and EMS had
their own operational radio channels to work on and reported directly to a
29
