Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />Staff also reached out to the City of Shoreview, Little Canada, New Brighton, Mounds View, <br />and Roseville to understand how other cities implement park security. Staff received feedback <br />from Mounds View, Shoreview and Little Canada; Shoreview and Little Canada have <br />implemented cameras at certain parks, and Little Canada has added additional alarm and lighting <br />measures, too. <br /> <br />One solution that was originally discussed was to put permanent cameras at park facilities to help <br />deter vandalism, and identify suspects following a crime. Permanent cameras would cost the <br />City approximately $5,000 initially, and $1,000 annually for ongoing expenses, this cost is per <br />park. Following further discussion, Staff is recommending to implement better data gathering <br />and data sharing with the Sheriff’s Office to address potential concerns, the below steps can be <br />taken immediately: <br /> <br />-Staff will monitor and track all incidents that occur at City parks to include the nature of the <br />incident and the cost of the remediation if applicable. <br /> <br />-Quarterly, Staff will formally exchange information with the Sheriff’s Office regarding any <br />incidents that have occurred (incidents requiring more immediate attention will be shared as <br />needed). <br /> <br />-If a pattern or trend develops Staff will meet with the Sheriff as necessary to develop a <br />mitigation plan, and bring forward to Council for approval if applicable. <br /> <br />-Staff will work with the Sheriff proactively to identify potential concerns and develop <br />actionable plans. <br /> <br />Budget Impact <br /> <br />Attachment A: Sheriff’s Incident Tracking <br />
