City of Centerville <br />City Council Meeting <br />July 9, 2008 <br />Mayor Capra stated that people feel the City should be more proactive with providing <br />information to the citizens. She suggested that it may be helpful to do more in the <br />newsletter, and maybe have an article once or twice a year in the newspaper. <br />Discussion ensued about what is done now and if more should be considered. <br />2. Update on Police and Community-Oriented Policing and Problem Solving <br />City Administrator Larson stated that there were 2 days of training, and all the Officers <br />and Staff are participating. <br />Mayor Capra stated that she attended for part of the day (July 9). She stated that <br />Centerville, Circle Pines and Lexington were also represented. She added that, hopefully, <br />this will give the officers additional tools to do their job. She stated that the goal is to be <br />proactive with crime. <br />Mayor Capra reported that the police caught a vandal in progress in LaMotte Park. <br />City Administrator Larson stated that they caught a person who told police who the <br />others were. <br />Councilmember Lakso inquired about what was the time of day. <br />City Administrator Larson replied that he believed it was at night. <br />Councilmember Paar questioned whether there was any more vandalism at the Skate <br />Park. <br />City Administrator Larson stated that the City had completely painted over the <br />vandalism, but the vandals did it again, and did a lot more damage ($3,000 - $5,000 <br />worth). He added that, hopefully, when they are caught, they can get them to do <br />community service and repaint it themselves. <br />3. Main Street/CSAH14 Proiect <br />City Engineer Statz reported that he attended the weekly meeting, and they are moving <br />forward and anticipate moving into Stage 3. He stated that they were only supposed to <br />get to Stage 2, but they will ask the County to be able to move to Stage 3. City Engineer <br />Statz stated that he believes the County would allow that. He added that you would see <br />that the road and corresponding utilities and grading would be down to County 54. <br />Discussion ensued. <br />Page 12 of 14 <br />
