I applaud your efforts to try new ideas <br />and to keep our costs down. I would like to see law enforcement forces merge with other cities to form joint <br />programs. However the city of New Brighton alone (not joined with Mounds View or other cities) does not have <br />the staff currently to provide us with the level of service provided from the 100+ staff of the sheriffs office. Since <br />the citizens of New Brighton have not given their approval to such a proposal, and could later voice their <br />disapproval, we could lose their service under such scenario and possibly be without police service. Will the <br />citizens of New Brighton like to see Arden Hills on their police cars? Right now seeing a sheriffs vehicle is a <br />recognized authority in Arden Hills and elsewhere. I support your efforts to negotiate the best contract from the <br />Ramsey County Sheriff and let New Brighton join forces with other cities before offering their services to Arden <br />Hills. <br /> <br />Chuck Mertensotto <br />3473 Lake Johanna Blvd. <br /> <br />Chuck Mertensotto <br />HermanMurphyMertensotto Search <br />'NW'N.hElrm,mmurphy.com <br />cmerte_nsotto@hermanmurpb~. com <br />952-345-3404 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2/17/2004 <br />
