Mayor Wilharber urged animal <br /> owners to be responsible and clean up after their animal(s) and not allow their animals to run at <br /> large. <br /> Mayor Wilharber stated he attended the ten (10) year anniversary gathering for the Anoka County <br /> Traveler. Mayor Wilharber also stated that he questioned how service to Centerville residents <br /> could be improved and the Traveler indicated they have serviced several residents in Centerville <br /> and suggested placing their number in a newsletter to heighten awareness. <br /> Mayor Wilharber stated he received a complaint concerning the price of admission to Anoka <br /> County and Washington County parks. Anoka County informed him that they do not offer a <br /> discount rate for seniors; however, they do offer an annual pass which would allow unlimited <br /> access to parks and provide discount admission to Hennepin County parks. Mayor Wilharber <br /> requested that price information be placed in the next LeJournal. <br /> Mayor Wilharber stated he had a meeting with John Olson, Anoka County Highway Department, <br /> and discussed connecting the trail way on the east side of Centerville Lake to the Anoka County <br /> Rice Creek Regional Park trail way system.
