Those names would be sent to Congressman Vento as part of this nomination process. Aplikowski noted that the deadline for submitting nominations is 5:00 p.m. the following day. Chairpersons have not been notified of this nomination. There were also volunteers who wish to participate at the meeting. MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion to authorize staff to contact the Chairpersons of the major City committees to nominate anyone who may be interested in serving. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). . Aplikowski asked about staff participation with their expertise. Committee people may not be up to speed, and the Council has eliminated people who came to the meetings and want to participate. Malone stated that the meetings are public and anyone can attend. Anyone who wishes to fill out the form and send it to Congressman Vento is welcome to do so. Mayor Probst stated that he attended a Metro Crime meeting sponsored by the Mayors of Minneapolis, S1. Paul, Crystal, Woodbury, Bloomington, Eagan. It is their clear desire to raise the public's awareness and talk about the fact that crime in Minneapolis is not just their problem. While he is not worried for Arden Hills, it is an issue to watch because possibly the lack of crime in the City has more to do with luck than preventative efforts. The biggest problem is juvenile crime. Mayor Probst reminded staff of the correspondence regarding the Amble Drive storm sewer. The possibility was discussed of inviting residents to a Council worksession. . Winkel stated that a letter has been drafted, but he is not sure if the City Administrator has sent it. He will follow up and make sure it is sent to the Mayor for signature. Mayor Probst noted the need for a public hearing on the animal control ordinance. .
