Chair Delmore noted that Mr. Duhl had advised that following a contact to the Minnesota Department of Health, apparently initiated by Roseville City staff, the neighbor's deer antlers had . been removed from their yard. Ms. Duhl mentioned a new issue they were having with their comer neighbor, who had "turned the area into a cesspool;" with dog feces, which Ms. Duhl had attempted to remove from the vicinity of her property by using a leaf blower to move the feces back into the neighbor's yard. While attempting to do so, Ms. Duhl had reached over the neighbor's fence, which prompted the neighbor and her two (2) dogs to come into the yard near the fence, and "aggressively" accuse Ms. Duhl of trespassing into their yard. A heated discussion ensued, with a call apparently being made to the City Police Department by the neighbor. Mr. and Mrs. Duhl admitted that Moui's language barrier may have elevated the conversation; and there was some dispute regarding the conversation and who threatened whom. Mr. Duhl advised Commissioners that a security video CD that he had made of the altercation was available. Commissioner Bosch requested that Moui put all her information in a folder, along with any new concern, for her to review prior to their meeting in January. Call to Order: Chair Delmore called the meeting to order at 7:04 p.m. . Approval of Minutes Commissioner Higbee moved and Commissioner Venters seconded approval of the November 14, 2006 meeting minutes as presented.
