<br />City of Centerville <br />City Council Meeting <br />October 8, 2008 <br /> <br />Committee would like to move the light or add another light. They have also received <br />some requests by residents to add more lights to the parks. The Parks & Recreation <br />Committee believes that adding additional lights would keep down the number of nuisance <br />calls. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra suggested that they check on the DNR Grant to earmark and thin out some of <br />the trees in Eagle Park to preserve the healthier trees. <br /> <br />Councilmember Lee added that the trees in Eagle Park are so dense that they block views <br />for people who are up to no good. <br /> <br />Police Governing Board Update <br />Councilmember Lee reported that the Police Governing Board has received some letters of <br />appreciation. However, there have been some letters in which residents think Centerville's <br />Police Department is not necessary and is unfriendly. Councilmember Lee stated that <br />some of the Police Department's response time has been as short as 1 minute. The Police <br />Governing Board would like a community-oriented Police Department. Despite the few <br />negative letters, the majority of the residents think the Police Department is doing a good <br />job. <br /> <br />Councilmember Lee reported that a study was conducted regarding the use of hybrid <br />vehicles. Unfortunately, the hybrid vehicles did not prove to be suitable for the Police <br />Department. <br /> <br />3. Mayor Mary Capra <br /> <br />Citizens Corps Council <br />Mayor Capra reported that she met with Eagle Brook, St. Genevieve's and others. The <br />Citizens Corps Council will expand into Circle Pines and Lexington to make a Master Plan <br />in the event of an emergency. Mayor Capra stated that they hope to have it all coordinated <br />by the end of the year. She added that theirs will be the first Citizens Corps Council in the <br />County. She stated that they learned a great deal from Hugo, and they are putting all that <br />knowledge to good use. <br /> <br />East Block 7 <br />Mayor Capra requested to look at an aerial photograph.
