a number of items for discussion, one of which includes a review of the current
policies and procedures relating to public lands permits, obstructions on
commons, etc. Staff will review what has been done so far. We would ask that
you refer to your Policies and Procedures Manuals which have been distributed
previously.
In addition, enclosed are .memorandums dated February 7, 1995, from
Councilmember Hanus which he asked be placed in this packet for your review
and consideration prior to the COW Meeting related to this COW Agenda
item.
We just received notice from Congressman Jim Ramstad that our application for a grant
for an additional police officer has been approved by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The program is called COPS FAST. It has made available $75,000, the maximum
available per Officer, over three years (or $25,000 per year) to hire an additional police
officer. In the application, the City committed to offset the cost of that police officer
(approximately $15,000-$20,000 each year). This funding became available under the
Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 to speed the deployment of
new officers devoted to community policing on the streets and rural routes in the nation.
This application process was a much simplified one which reduced the amount of time
and effort to actually file an application. Chief Len Harrell and Sergeants McKinley and
Grand are to be congratulated for the grant application approval.
MOTION made by Jessen, seconded by Jensen to adjourn at 9:00 P.M. The vote
was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
