~ Officer Gleason, Circle Pines - Lexington Police Department, suggested Wayne Thompson give his report from last year's event. Mr. Wayne Thompson, Anoka County Parks Department, explained the Parks Department requested a contribution for events such as Summer Jam. Waterworks has yet to pay, the agreed amount of$I,OOO from the past year. Additionally, the park was left so that Anoka County had to pick up the litter in the area. However, there is no problem with the number of persons parking their vehicles. Officer Gleason handed out a suggestion list and a map of the area. Officer Gleason has been involved with the Summer Jamboree for the last two years and has been asked again by Waterworks to coordinate this year's police department involvement. Officer Gleason's recommendation for security during the Jamboree is as follows: 1. Rope off the area on the lake on the south side of the building, thus keeping boats and other water crafts away from the event. 2. Have an Anoka County boat stationed within the roped area. 3. Waterworks compensates for three off duty officers for security, as well as pay a small fee for the Reserves and Explorers to help during the concert. 4. Leave the west side of the building vacant for emergency vehicles only. 5. Leave the front side of the building empty so buses can make wide turns onto Main Street. In addition, Officer Gleason suggested notifYing all the residents around both lakes. Councilmember Powers suggested Waterworks pay for the County to clean up. Officer Gleason suggested asking Milo to provide a tanker since last year they pumped the lake and sand did get in people's eyes. Councilmember Powers mentioned a couple of concerns; noise, trash, language, notification of surrounding residents and extra Officers necessary. Further, the security boat in the bay as mentioned earlier, a swim line to rope off the bay, including a medical tent and have water available to those who need it. Councilmember Powers suggested no more than 4000 tickets sold and next year aim to hold the event on a weekday instead of a weekend. Mr. March suggested waiting to issue the noise permit until all residents around the lake have been notified. Residents can voice their concerns at the May 28, Council Meeting where Mr. Sorenson can be available to address any concerns. Councilmember Helmbrecht agreed. Officer Gleason suggested six to eight, 55 gal. garbage bins. Finally, Mr. Thompson requested the bins be arranged to be placed on the inside of the cables.
