City of Centerville <br />City Council Meeting <br />October 8, 2008 <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 />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 />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 />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 acommunity-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 />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 />3. Mayor Mary Capra <br />Citizens Corps Council <br />Mayor Capra reported that she met with Eagle Brook, St. Genevieve's and others.
