An overview of the proposal was presented at a joint meeting of the Arden Hills and New Brighton City Councils in late 2003. The eurrent provider of law enforcement services is the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department. The County provides these services on a contract basis to seven Ramsey County communities. The proposal from the City of New Brighton proposes a start date of January 1, 2005. The current agreement with Ramsey County requires that nine month notice be given if a City intends to terminate the agreement at the end of a calendar year. Sheriff Fletcher has offered that we could mutually agree to extend that deadline by 30 days if it would ensure the appropriate amount of review, analysis, and public input. DISCUSSION Ramsey County Sheriffs Department has been invited to make a presentation to you at the January 20 work session. They will provide Power Point presentation and will have copies of the presentation available for you that evening. The contract cities have discussed this matter and the potential impact to the group if Arden Hills were to leave. A letter from the contract cities group is enclosed in this packet. They will have one or two representatives at the meeting to answer questions. I am including with this agenda packet the following items as background material for the presentation: . Minutes from the Deeember 18, 2003 eontract cities meeting . Ramsey County Sheriff's Department organizational ehart . Third Quarter 2003 Traffic Statistics for Arden Hills . Crimes Investigated Report for January-September 2003 . Volunteers Involved in Public Safety Traffic Program Report dated November 17, 2003 · 2003 Crime Prevention Services Report Page 2 of2 NEW BRIGHTON UPDATE I continue to review the New Brighton proposal and work with the New Brighton staff to further clarify the proposal and to answer various questions about the proposal. I am meeting with a representative from the Sheriff's Department on January 14 to review many questions I have about their services, in order to try and prepare some kind of comparison between the departments. DIRECTION After the presentation by Ramsey County Sheriff, we will need to determine the next steps in the decision-making process. One option is as follows: · Schedule further diseussion for either a special work session or the February 16 work session. Prior to the scheduled meeting you would receive a report from me attempting to clarify and answer questions and summarizing services and eosts. Representatives from both New Brighton and Ramsey County Sheriff could be present to answer questions. \\Earth\AdminlCity AdminisJratorlPolice Servicesll-l0-04 Work Session.doc - - - e Board ofSupervis.ors ROBERT J.

MAMPU WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP 1 Z8l HAMMOND ROAD WHITE BE.AR TOWNSHIP, MN 551 to 1858 RANI$EY COUNTY MINNESOTA 651-4Z9-58Z1 FAX 651-4Z6- ZZ58 [mail: wbt@cI.whlte-bear-township.mn.us January 14, 2004 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Arden Hills 1245 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, Minnesota 55112 RE: LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES Honorable Mayor and City Council: e Those of us who represent the other 6 communities that contract with the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department for law enforcement services are aware that the City of Arden Hills is considering other options for providing law enforcement services for your community. We also understand that you will be receiving a presentation from the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department on Tuesday, January 20, 2004, regarding the services they offer you through the Sheriff's Contract. By way of this correspondence, we would like to provide you with information that we believe will be helpful to you as you learn about the Sheriff's Department's Services and consider your options. The following highlights some of the components of that service that are of particular value from our perspective. 1. Contract Communities Committee. Each municipality designates a liaison to the Sheriff's Department. The liaison represents the municipality during the monthly Contract Communities Committee meetings, and on other matters related to law enforcement services. The purpose of the Committee is to develop short-term and long range plans, prepare contracts and budgets, and coordinate and analyze police service. Most of this work is performed during our monthly meetings which are normally held on the third Thursday of each month. The Committee has a Chair, Vice-Chair, and Secretary, each of which rotate from Community to Community according to an established schedule. Arden Hills' liaison functioned as Chair in 2001. e A meeting schedule with agendas is adopted at the beginning of each year, Attached is the proposed 2004 Meeting Schedule and Agendas. The agendas are adjusted as needed throughout the year to include any additional subjects or @ '.ncl.o;u>p~r Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Arden Hills January 14, 2004 - items carried over from the preceding month. There are normally two Under- Sheriff's present at each meeting, along with the Lieutenant in charge of Patrol and Deputies and other staff as needed. The Sheriff attends at least one meeting per year as do the County Commissioners whose districts include the Contract Communities. We are occasionally visited by specialists from outside the Sheriff's Department such as County Risk Management, Animal Control, Minnesota Gang Strike Force, Court Administrator, etc. Arden Hills, Shoreview, North Oaks, Little Canada, Vadnais Heights, and White Bear Township have designated staff to serve as the liaisons. Gem Lake is represented by a member of their City Council. Elected representatives from all of the communities are welcome to attend all meetings, and frequently participate. 2. Individual Service. Each Community determines the level of service that they receive. Each year during the months of March through July, the County and the Contract Communities Group develop a budget. That budget is designed to address the individual needs of each municipality as well as the broader needs of the Contract Group. For example, Vadnais Heights, North Oaks and White Bear Township have cooperated to share an additional deputy (starting May 2004), for the midnight to 8:00 a.m. shift to help cover the needs .. generated by the recent growth in their Communities. ., 3. Shared Services. There are several services that are provided through the Contract that would be difficult for an individual community to afford on it's own. By spreading the cost over seven municipalities and our 80,000 population, we have been able to provide a Crime Prevention Officer, a Traffic Deputy, special spring weight restriction enforcement, and an extensive Community Affairs OfficerNolunteer in Public Service/Reserve program. The Deputies responsible for delivering these services have been pro-active in bringing new technology, advanced training, and grant funding opportunities to the Contract Communities. As a result of this cooperation, we have been able to provide highly efficient, specialized services through supplemental training, equipment, and manpower that have resulted in improved safety, concentrated enforcement, and higher visibility. 4. Suoolemental Services. The municipalities have the option of contracting with the Sheriff's Department for special customized services beyond those that are included in the Contract. For example, the Township, in cooperation with the City of Hugo, contracts for 160 hours of winter patrol on Bald Eagle Lake to provide extra enforcement of motor vehicle, snowmobile, and ice fishing laws. Shoreview hires additional water patrol deputies. - 5. Larqe Resources Available to Resoond to Emerqencies. The Sheriff's Department offers a large number of deputies on duty at all times who are available to respond to situations that need extensive, coordinated response_ 2 e e e Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Arden Hills January 14, 2004 While there may be 6 to 9 deputies and a shift sergeant on patrol at anyone time, there are up to 25 other deputies available in other capacities who, if needed, can respond immediately and in a coordinated fashion. The value of a quick response by this larger department was clearly evident a few years ago during a labor confrontation that involved injuries between striking and non- striking employees on a construction site. Within minutes, the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department was able to direct eight squads, marked and unmarked, to the site. More squads were on the site the next day to deal with the on-going labor dispute. 6. Shared Administration and Supervisorv Costs. The Sheriff's Contract Group recognizes considerable savings by sharing the costs associated with administrative and supervisory duties. These efficiencies are realized in the command and control of the basic services as well as special services. Arden Hills has been a long standing and important member of the Contract Communities Group. We want to let you know that we have valued your participation and hope that you will decide to continue as a member of our group. If you have any questions about these services or would like to discuss them with any members of our group, please feel free to contact any of us.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES The Minutes of November 20, 2003, were approved as written, ARDEN HILLS POLICE SERVICE Altendorfer reported that he will be meeting with the City of Arden Hills Council Members on January 20, 2004, at 4:45 p,m., to discuss police service through the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department. It was the Group's consensus to prepare correspondence and to have representation at this meeting. Watson reported that he met with the Arden Hills' Mayor and Administrator and noted that the mayor is a property owner and has a business relationship with the City of New Brighton; however, she has stated that this will not be a factor in her decision on police service, Watson stated that he advised the mayor to consider the impact to the other contract communities and the consequences that result when a community leaves the Contract Group, He explained that he feels that Ramsey County taxpayers will be left with additional taxes associated with the County's cost (i.e., the overhead costs will get transferred to the County because there is less revenue coming in). Minutes Sheriff Contract Group Meeting December 18, 2003 It was the Group's consensus that Arden Hills is an important element of the overall Group; and that it should be made clear to the Arden Hills City Council Members that the police service we have is not just from the Sheriff's Department, as it is directed by the Contract Group. . It was noted that it will be important to educate the Arden Hills City Council on the broad range of police services provided by the Sheriff's Department, and it was suggested that Altendorfer emphasize the County's service and quality of service, while also noting the location of the new patrol station. Urban suggested that Arden Hills be advised on the way the Group has worked together and continues to work together, and to let them know of the potential for a future Highway 96 corridor car. Sheriff Fletcher advised Wolfe that he could provide Arden Hills an additional 30 days to make their decision, so they have extra time for education and to seek public input. Wolfe agreed to contact Altendorfer if this is of interest to the city. Sheriff Fletcher suggested a professional analysis of the pros and cons of the two proposals, including evaluation of cost, history of costs, future costs, and services provided. He pointed out such issues as location (the patrol station will be located in AH), response time, multiple coverage, supervisory costs, the _ County's broad range of services (including volunteers), budget, and different .. public policy issues. He inquired if there was a revenue assumption based on that generated from New Brighton's administrative tags, Wolfe noted that it was the Arden Hills City Council Members consensus that they were not in favor of administrative tags. Schwerm suggested that Altendorfer focus on the extent and quality of service provided, including more comprehensive coverage, quicker response time, traffic, and "community" safety and security. It was agreed that Schwerm and Short will work together to prepare correspondence to be presented to the Arden Hills City Council, and that one of them will attend the January 20, 2004, Arden Hills City Council Meeting. SUBURBAN COURT - UPDATE Sheriff Fletcher reported that the current plan is to remodel the Maplewood Court site or build a new suburban facility. He noted that one of the sites for consideration is Rice & 694 in Little Canada, and that he feels that it would be a good idea to coordinate the facility with the proposed Little Canada Substation. - 2 Minutes Sheriff Contract Group Meeting December 18, 2003 . 800 MHZ - UPDATE Sheriff Fletcher recommended that the Group assign a representative to closely track the 800 MHZ effort, explaining SI. Paul's desire for communication center consolidation. He voiced concern with regard to the dispatch service level delivered in St. Paul, versus the Contract Communities; stating a need for a professional analysis of the proposed consolidation, and also for a staff analysis for the appropriate level of calls per dispatcher. He stated that he did not think it was a good idea to have only one communication center in this age of terrorism. He noted that there has been no request or suggestions for consolidation from the Federal Government. LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT - Watson Update Watson reported that there is no new information on this issue. He felt that the Group should know the financial consequence if a community drops out of the Contract Group, It was decided that this matter will be discussed during the 2004 Goals Setting Meeting. . OWl FORFEITURES Hanson stated that there was nothing new to report on OWl forfeitures, LONG RANGE PLANNING METING It was the Group's consensus to schedule a Long Range Planning Meeting in the spring. CHAIR ROTATION /2004 MEETING LOCATION The Group reviewed Reagan's report, which confirmed the Standard Officer Rotation as follows: 2003 - White Bear Township (Chair); Shoreview (Vice- Chair); Vadnais Heights (Secretary); 2004 - Shoreview (Chair); Vadnais Heights (Vice-Chair); North Oaks (Secretary); 2005 - Vadnais Heights (Chair); North Oaks (Vice-Chair); Little Canada (Secretary); 2006 - North Oaks (Chair); Little Canada (Vice-Chair); Arden Hills (Secretary); 2007 - Little Canada (Chair); Arden Hills (Vice Chair); Gem Lake (Secretary); 2008 - Arden Hills (Chair); Gem Lake (Vice-Chair); White Bear Township (Secretary); 2009 - Gem lake (Chair); White Bear Township (Vice-Chair); Shoreview (Secretary). SHERIFF FLETCHER ~ Sheriff Fletcher reported that it is planned to be moved into the new Arden Hills patrol facility by the end of next year. He reminded the Group that the 3 Minutes Sheriff Contract Group Meeting December 18, 2003 Department's hiring of correctional officers, instead of licensed deputies, to work . in the jail, will tend to lower the cost of law enforcement services for the Contract Group since deputies with less experience will be able to work in the patrol division. He explained that in 2005, it is planned to cost out a ten-year deputy, versus the fifteen-year deputy that they are using now, which he stated will reduce the Group's cost and still provide stability, The Contract Group members stated their satisfaction and appreciation for Sheriff Fletcher and for Undersheriffs Altendorfer and Luey, and asked Sheriff Fletcher to keep them working with the Contract Group, They also expressed appreciation for the regular meeting attendance of Salter and Paget, the accessibility and responsiveness of all those assigned to the Group, their leadership, their cooperation and their good will; and that they very much appreciate the deputies who stop by the cityltownship offices, and for the daily reports provided by Jim Moody. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 10:07 a.m. The next regular meeting will be held on .JANUARY 22. 2004. at 8:00 A.M.. at the CITY OF SHOREVIEW CONFERENCE ROOM. .

In this effort, the traffic deputy and staff from the VIPS unit educate citizens on moving and non-moving violations, This education program involves Radar trailer displays, advisory letters, written warnings, squad presence, and warning tags. The traffic unit also enforces the laws, where appropriate, and issues citations. The traffic program also has a process for large- scale saturations for the areas that need a stronger presence. The Traffic Unit is actively involved with the Minnesota Safe and Sober grant program and the Night Cap grant program. The following are the list of staff that makes up the VIPS Traffic Program: Traffic Car: Tim Entner, Deputy Sheriff Education: Walt Gustanski, CAO and Hazel Davies, CAO Radar cart: Rick Kuster, CAO and Richard Medved, CAO Grant writer: Tim Entner, Deputy Sheriff Forfeiture: Dan Mahai, CAO Saturations: Ron Valento, Deputy Sheriff Sergeant: Phil Chelstrom Lieutenant: Joe Paget The following is a detailed outline of the VIPS Traffic Program: Education: The traffic program has developed an effective way to respond to citizen traffic complaints. Once the traffic complaint is received, our volunteer staff calls the complainant to learn more about the area and to determine specific details regarding violators, times of incidents, and days of the week that problems are occurring. The complainant is then given an overview of the planned response. After the initial complaint follow-up, the information is submitted to the squad room, traffic car, and the CAOs. After three weeks, the complainant is again contacted to determine if the problem has been effectively addressed. The philosophy of the Sheriffs Office is to educate the citizens with a goal of voluntary compliance. The following list is some of the tools we use the educate the public: . Radar trailer o The Sheriff's Office has two radar trailers that our volunteer staff sets up in about seventy locations per year . . Metro Count Tube System o The Sheriff's Office has a hose kit that is set up on the road in the complaint areas. This Metro Count computer is used to determine the following: . Speed of traffic in the area . Speeds are averaged out for each hour of the day . Provides accurate numbers that are not influenced by the drivers seeing the radar cart . Direction of vehicles . Determine what type of vehicles are speeding . Car, motorcycle, busses, or large trucks . Advisory notices o In many circumstances, the public has witnessed poor or dangerous driving behavior and wishes to address this behavior with the driver. In this Advisory Notice program, the witness calls our office to report the driving behavior, along with the license plate number and a description of the vehicle. Our CAOs record this information and run a check on the registered owner o If the information matches, an Advisory Notice is sent to the registered owner. o The CAOs also tour areas that have problems with non-moving violations and issue an Advisory Notice on site, . . CAG Traffic Survey o The CAOs have been trained to use the radar units, For certain traffic complaints, we will have our CAOs run radar and record the number of cars, speed, license plate, and description of the violator vehicles. o The violator vehicle information is then checked for matches and a letter is sent to the registered owner. Citations: The Traffic car deputy writes nearly 1,200 citations per year. Usually in these areas, some kind of education program, to influence driving conduct, has been done, Saturations: The traffic saturations began over four yeas ago. This program was developed due to the need to protect the construction workers working along Highway 96. In this first saturation done in 1999, at Highway 96 and Edgerton, the ten squads wrote 100 citations in four hours. The violators were issued tags for 12 to 30MPH over the speed limits. The VIPS Unit currently does between four and six saturations per . year. " . . . Grant Programs: The Sheriff's Office has been awarded grant funds from Safe and Sober and Night Cap for the past three years. These programs have dramatically improved the Sheriff's Office response to drunk driving, seat belt safety, and speeding issues. The funds available in the grant programs are used to buy equipment, and pay overtime to participating deputy staff. The following are a list of items that were awarded to the Sheriff's Office from the grants: . Two laser units . Eight Portable Breath Test (PBT) units OWl Seizure and Forfeiture In July 1998, the Sheriffs Office was given the legislative mandate to seize and forfeit vehicles that are involved in drunk driving arrests. The coordination and maintenance or this program includes the following: . Educating deputy staff on OWl seizure criteria . Inventorying the seized vehicles that arrive at the impound lot . Have ongoing contact with the following involved parties: o Suspected drunk driver o Registered owner of seized vehicle o St. Paul and Suburban court staff o City and County Attorney's Office o State Auction staff When the forfeiture is complete, the vehicle is sent to State Surplus Services for auction. After the auction, the funds are distributed one-third to the communities where the arrest was made and two thirds to the Sheriff's Office. The Sheriffs Office has a practice to forfeits all vehicles that meet the statute criteria. Since the program's inception in 1998, we have forfeited two hundred and forty-three vehicles, We have also put eight vehicles into the Sheriff's Office fleet. The following are a list of equipment purchased with the forfeiture funds for the district squads: . 20 PBT units . 30 flashlights . 1 Laser Unit . 50% of new radar cart . $3,500 matching funds for Safe and Sober 2001, 02, and 03 Over the last few years, our traffic program has developed an effective plan for responding to citizen complaints, educating drivers, and writing citations where necessary. The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office Volunteers Involved in Public Safety staff has done an excellent job managing the traffic issues that face our seven contract communities. Ramsey County Sheriff s Office Community Resources Unit Crime Prevention Services 2003 . Serving: Arden Hills*Gem Lake*Little Canada*North Oaks Shoreview*Vadnais Heights*White Bear Township Date: To: From: Re: Greetings, November 20, 2003 City Managers Deputy Dan Ruettimann Crime Prevention Report . Enclosed you will find the year in review of the crime prevention services that are currently being provided to your respective communities. Detailed in this report are the types of programs that are currently being implemented as well as the goals and strategies for 2004. I am very excited about this position and in just a few short months I feel that I have made some significant strides. As always I am open to the needs of our communities and I welcome any input to crime prevention services that will be provided in the future. If you should need any further assistance in regards to this report and or information on the agreed upon crime prevention initiatives, I can be reached directly at 651-490-4503. Sincerely, ~~ Dan Ruettimann, Coordinator Office: 651-490-4503 Pager: 952-365-4268 Dan.Ruettiman@co.ramsev.mn.us . ,.._..:_.,'-"...:'_.....:l,.:,c...'._.-....___.. . Introduction The Ramsey County Sheriffs Office is committed to providing a proactive approach to crime prevention for the communities that we serve. The focus is to enhance community awareness and involvement by attempting to deter crime before it occurs and by coordinating this effort throughout the department. This is accomplished by utilizing our Patrol Personnel, Crime Prevention Coordination, Community Resources Personnel, Volunteers Involved In Public Safety, and our Community Watch System. Crime prevention coordination provides crime prevention programs and initiatives that gain and maintain citizen support. These programs and initiatives teach crime prevention measures. Public contact with community leaders, community based organizations such as block clubs, local churches, youth groups, citizen volunteers, and business leaders are included in our crime prevention efforts. We celebrate our crime free efforts for the year . with the annual National Night Out. We currently are providing information on crime prevention programs such as, Neighborhood Crime Watch, Burglary follow-up, graffiti awareness, Business Crime Watch, Crime Free Multi-Housing, Operation Identification, Personal Safety, Problem Property Projects, Theft from Auto, and Auto Theft Prevention. Since my assignment to this position in June, I have been gathering information about our communities needs from supervisors and patrol deputies, community leaders, and most importantly are residents. These services are currently being delivered to our residence by daily contact by telephone, in person, news media releases, community events, and by department crime prevention initiatives utilizing our community resources unit with other deputy personnel and our highly valued Volunteers Involved In Public Safety Unit. . It is my recommendation that we continue with this style of delivery of crime prevention services. I am looking to expand the crime prevention delivery to include the use of the Internet, cable television, city newsletters, and by continuing public safety community fairs within our communities. . Crime Prevention Services The Neighborhood Watch Program This program has proven to be one of the most effective and least costly answers in preventing crime in our neighborhoods. A neighborhood watch group is an association of neighbors who agree to look out for the safety and security of every member of their neighborhood community. This is done by neighborhoods getting to know each other and through continued communication with each other and the sheriffs office. The neighborhood' watch program works to educate its participants in the principles of deterrence, detection, and the reporting of crimes and suspicious activity. When I started in June we had 83 active neighborhood watch groups within our contract communities. Through my efforts thus far we have a total of 113 neighborhood watch groups. The following is a breakdown by community of our current neighborhood watch groups. . Arden Hills Gem Lake Little Canada North Oaks Shoreview Vadnais Heights White Bear Twp 13 Pending 16 2 36 19 27 The Business Watch Program This program has proved to be one of the most effective and least costly answers to preventing crime in business areas. A business watch group is an association of businesses who agree to look out for the safety and security of every member oftheir business community. This is done by owners, managers, and employees getting to know each other and through continued communication with each other. The business watch program works to educate its participants in the principles of deterrence, detection and reporting of crimes and suspicious activity. . .",", . . . When I assumed the coordination of crime prevention I confirmed that there were attempts to start business crime prevention efforts within the business communities of our communities. Initial steps were taken at Vadnais Square and the Meadowlands as well as other retail communities. My goal in 2004 is to establish a Business Watch Group in every retail complex that we have in our communities. I have started a business watch in North Oaks. Bun!lary Follow-Up Prol!:ram This program is designed to prevent re-victimization of both residential and commercial burglaries. Burglary victims are contacted and offered premise surveys and literature on burglary prevention to lessen the likelihood that they will be burglarized again in the future. I also take this opportunity to promote the importance of the Neighborhood Watch Program. Premise Surveys Premise surveys are a security review of a resident's home or business to assess their current level of security. After completion of the survey, recommendations are made to increase the level of the security inside or outside the home or business. Premise surveys are promoted during the coarse of Neighborhood watch meetings and after reported burglaries as part of the burglary follow-up program. Graffiti Awareness We educate residents regarding the importance of observing and reporting graffiti. We follow up on reports of graffiti and we check an established database that is shared by local law enforcement to attempt to identify the suspect known as a tagger. Crime Free Multi-Housinl!: (CFMH) Crime Free Multi Housing (CFMH) is a program designed to make multi- family dwellings safe and desirable places to live. The CFMH program provides a partnership between the police and local property owners-managers to foster a safe, healthy Crime Free Community in rental housing. CFMH is pro-property manager, pro- resident, and anti- CrIme. The program uses a unique three-phase approach that ensures resident friendly techniques that will be applied to maintain crime prevention goals. The three components that make up the program are: '--:-".,."-,. 1. Management Training 2. Security Assessment 3. Resident Training/Crime Watch All three phases of the program must be met before the complex/property can be certified as a Crime Free Multi-Housing Property. Once the complex/property is certified, the management will also be granted the use of the program logo in all advertisements. Currently, I have teamed up with the Crime Free Multi-Housing Coalition of Ramsey County. I am continuing with the program with the following rental communities. In addition, I will be teaming up with our cities and will contact all rental communities to offer this program.

Shoreview Shoreview Hills Midland Terrace Apartments Lakeshore Oaks Meadowlands Scandia Shores ~ Vadnais Heights The Cottages of Vadnais Heights Highcrest Apartments . White Bear Township Pending Operation Identification Operation identification is a program that has been proven to dramatically reduce burglaries in cities. To enroll in the program contact the Crime Prevention Unit for a pin number to engrave on all your easily stolen valuables and stickers that informs burglars that your property is permanently marked. What makes Operation Identification so effective is that easily identifiable property is hard for burglars to dispose of. It can be tracked back to you. If the burglar is caught with it in their possession it is solid evidence of possession of stolen property. . Identity Theft Identity Theft is becoming the fastest growing crime in America today. Last year 200,000,000 Americans were victims. The Ramsey County Sheriffs Office has developed a brochure on keeping people from becoming victims ofIdentity Theft. This brochure is handed out at all Neighborhood Watch groups and community events. Personal & Public Safety Education Our educational training program is based on the theory that an educated public is a safer public. The majority of our crime prevention training provided on personal safety education is provided at all crime prevention initiatives. KID PRINT Identification Pro2ram The kid Print program provides parents with a document that has their children's fingerprints as well as space for vital statistics and a place for a current photo to use in the event of an abduction or a missing child. This usually occurs at patrol station tours, schools, scouting, and community events. . McGruffHouse Pro2ram. Arden Hills City Administrator Michelle Wolfe has inquired aboutthis program. A McGruffHouse is a temporary haven for children who find themselves in emergency or frightening situations such as being bullied, followed, or hurt while walking in a neighborhood. McGruff houses provide emergency assistance for children as they go to and from school and or are at play in the area. They also telephone appropriate authorities for help, reassure and aid children who are frightened or lost, assist children who have medical emergencies by getting appropriate attention, assist those who are in immediate fear of becoming victims of personal crimes or theft, child abuse, gangs, or bullies, and they report crimes and suspicious activities to law enforcement officials and provide descriptions of vehicles and suspects where possible. This training could be utilized for our community's city employees whom are out in the field who may come across this situation. If established the McGruff House participants would have to fill out an application and background checks would have to be done annually on all . residents whom are 18 and over living in the home. . , , . . . The Minnesota Watch Your Car Prol!:ram The "Watch Your Car" program is a national vehicle theft program funded by the United States Department of Justice. It is my understanding that this program has not been promoted well at the state level due to the uncertainty of funding. The program involves registered owners registering their vehicle with the program that will then enable local law enforcement to stop the vehicle just on site of the identifying sticker to check to see who's driving the car. Theft From Auto Initiatives are currently under way to educate residents and visitors about keeping their valuables secure and not out in the open in their vehicles. We utilize the aid of the White Bear Lake Area Seniors Triad group and members of our Volunteers Involved In Public Safety Group for this initiative. These members along with a Sheriffs Deputy will look into vehicles and identify if the vehicle is vulnerable or not vulnerable to a theft. A quick report to the owner is recorded and left for review. We have done initiatives at the Targets in Shoreview and Vadnais Heights, Arden Plaza in Arden Hills, Market Place in Little Canada, and The Village Center in North Oaks. Knox Lock Box Prol!:ram The purpose of this program is to get owners and managers of secure multi- housing units to purchase and install key boxes. This allows our deputies rapid access inside the building to render aid. We currently have multiple locations within the communities and I am going to identify and promote further installation of these boxes as I identify the dwellings that do not. Problem Property Proiects When our department is notified about a specific problem in any of our communities we are ready and willing to address it. If the issue is a traffic complaint, juvenile issues, graffiti, or even a chronic neighbor dispute we look into the matter until it's disposition. Community Watch Notification System . A system designed to notify our residents of crime information In our communities that is updated bi-weekly. The system allows us to maintain contact with our block contains in sending crime prevention information to them by phone. The block captains in turn can send that message to their neighborhood informing them of the information. We have recently upgraded the system to be able to include e-mail addresses for notifications. National Night Out On Tuesday August 5th 2003, The Sheriffs Office participated with residents in neighborhoods throughout our communities in locking their doors, turning on their outside lights, and spending an evening outside with city officials, and public safety personnel to participate in National Night Out. National Night Out is designed to (I) Heighten Crime and Drug Prevention . Awareness; (2) Generate support for and participation in local anticrime fighting efforts; (3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and form community partnerships with law enforcement and; (4) Send a message to criminals letting them know that our neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. 100 % of the 73 National Night Out Block Party's that requested us were visited by personnel from the Sheriffs Office. Personnel included 25 Deputy Sheriffs and approximately 25 volunteers whom were from our Volunteers Involved In Public Safety and are Lakes & Trails Unit. Goals For 2004 My goals and strategies for 2004 are to continue with all of the crime prevention services currently being provided as earlier indicated. I am in the process of working with our Ramsey County Information Services staff to update our crime prevention website. I am confident that this information will be available starting late December at the latest. I want to provide our residents the ability to view or print off information . regarding all of our crime prevention and public safety information. I will be working with our Weapons of Mass Destruction Unit and are Citizens Civil Defense Corp to implement their public safety initiatives within our crime prevention framework. .- . . . We have upgraded the Sheriff's Office Community Watch System to maintain an e-mail notification database. We are currently gathering e-mail addresses. This will continue to be a work in progress. Starting in December I am scheduled for production with CTV 15 for a Sheriff's Office, public safety and crime prevention cable show. I will be scheduling meetings with our block captains starting in January where I will be issuing them updated block captain manuals and thanking them for their hard work and efforts.

In addition to the examples provided, I have examined some examples from the surrounding communities. The signs in New Brighton and Shoreview w.ere taller than the 4' 6" that was proposed in the easement for the Nelson property; however, none was any taller than 6 feet. Staff has contacted Mr. Nelson to determine if he would be open an easement of 20 feet in width by 6 feet in height. Staff Recommendation Approve the easement form to be placed on the consent calendar for the January 26th Council meeting with the ~ended height for the gateway signage easement. If the Council is interested in pursuing the Gateway Signage concept for next year's budget cycle, staff could take this item to the Planning Commission and PTRC for review to eome up with a consensus style for gateway signs. This eould likely be handled at the tentatively scheduled joint PC/PTRC meeting in July.

Page 1 of1 Young, Cynthia From: THOMAS MOORE [knine123@prodigy,net] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 200411:18AM To: cynthia.young@ci.arden.hills,mn,us Subject: Employee Recognition Cynthia, here are two nominations from 0 & M that perhaps may warrant consideration; 1. Joe Mooney & Mike Schifsky The creation of a liquid drop spreader, holding tank and a hand held spayer attachment that can be mounted to almost any vehicle currently in our fleet. Joe & Mike came up with the concept, received Staff approval and then sold the concept to one of our regular 0 & M vendors who then donated approximately $700.00 in materials. Joe & Mike built the unit from scratch in the shop, during 'down time' in their normal work week. The unit is self contained, portable, and can be used as a drop spreader for large areas or with the hand held attachment for smaller areas. The unit can be mounted on any of our pickup trucks or Toro units. Possible uses could include the spraying of; deicer on sidewalks, trails, parking lots; weed killer/ fertilizer in confined areas located in parks, trails, flower gardens; pesticides for small trees & shrubs. The unit can be operated from the inside of any vehicle. This project took a approximately 25 hours of staff time to construct. Joe & Mike showed their collective creativity and initiative in developing a concept, securing donated materials and constructing a multi-functional piece of equipment that will benefit the residents of Arden Hills. . 2. Jim Perron Jim saved the City of Arden Hills $100,000 which was bugeted in the 2003 CIP for the repair ofthe Red Fox/Gray Fox sewer line. That particular section of sewer line had been identified by Staff, the City Engineer, LMCIT and an outside vendor as having a major problem. Because of this situation, some of the business in the immediate area had experienced damage from sewer back ups. Through the creative use of existing City equipment such as the newly purchased sewer camera system, the pipe root cutter, and the Vactor truck he was able to restore that section of sewer line to working condition. This was accomplished with City Staff, with no over time cost incurred and without spending any of the funds previously allocated in the 2003 CIP budget. Jim was able to analyize the situation, determine a course of action, and effectively utilize City resourses in such a manner that this particular section of sewer line could be restored to working order. . 1/15/2004 I ' . ~ ~HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: January ]4,2004 Agenda Item 2.B.
