Sandin provided the Wright County Sheriff's Office updates. There is a snowmobile complaint in the development south of the old Gould Brother's Chevrolet dealership that they are looking into. There is a dog complaint on a house that has too many dogs and they are working with the property owner on the issue. Lt. Sandin said the county attorney wants to look in on Chatter's as many of the people leaving there are getting DUI's and with the fights going on, they are pulling the reports to see if the alcohol levels are too high and determine if their bartenders are over - serving. This past weekend there was a fight at the Zoo and they didn't call the Sheriffs Office but they did receive a call from the Hospital for the minor injuries from the fight. Chuck Fradella commented that he has seen more squad cars monitoring traffic in town during the day. Brad Fyle said that with summer coming he would recommend close monitoring of the noise ordinance with the cars driving around with the excessively loud radios /subs. This is an issue that annoys everyone they drive by. Lt. Sandin said Sheriff's Office is considering moving one car to cover the later bar rush and the car vandals that happen later. The deputy is off at 10 p.m. now and they are looking at moving the coverage to 2 a.m. to curb those issues. Lt. Sandin said there was an attempt at Cornerstone Chevrolet a month ago to steal tires. There have been two groups that have been arrested for tire theft from dealerships but they haven't been able to recover any tires yet. They have been sitting in the businesses where they have access to continue to monitor these issues. Other issues have come up with copper theft from the old Dodge dealership, as well as the copper being stripped from the Silver Springs Golf Course. PAC —APRIL 17, 2013 Page 2 8. Video Camera Update (Jason R.) Jason Roubinek said he would like the PAC to make a motion to recommend the City Council to vote on getting bids for security cameras in the parks. There has been a lot of vandalism in the parks and there should be a tool like that for law enforcement. There were razor blades found in slides at some of the City parks and Jason said this poses a safety issue for the children playing. Jason said it is his recommendation to have the City purchase two (2) fixed cameras and one (1) portable camera. The two fixed cameras should be placed at West Bridge Park with all the vandalism down there and the portable camera placement can be determined by the SherrifPs Office and the Parks Department. Jason said that FiberNet is willing to supply the lines to go to the camera and bring them back to their Head End Building so they can store 90 days' worth of coverage (at least 60 days' worth of coverage is needed). Brad Fyle said that he likes the concept but would like to see more information including the camera types and dollar figures before making a recommendation to the City Council. Wayne Oberg said the city just replaced the "swan" camera in the park on Mississippi Drive so he will look into the cost of that camera. Wayne said that he will bring some numbers back to the next meeting. Wayne indicated that this is a perfect time to bring this up as it is not currently budgeted for in the 2013 budget and staff will be working on the 2014 budget. Chuck Fradella asked about calling a special meeting once the information and dollar amounts are put together. Brad Fyle proposed to have Wayne send out the information in an email and then the PAC can make their recommendation from there. 9. Approval of next regular meeting date (July 17, 2013) The next PAC meeting is scheduled for July 17, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. in the Academy Room at the Monticello Community Center. 10.
