I'm here just to update the council on a pretty significant event that happened in the community on Thursday evening, Friday morning and that was the home invasion, kidnapping that occurred and I just wanted to update you that our office has received a number of tips over the weekend due to the media coverage. Our investigators are diligently following up on all of the leads and we've dedicated a lot of resources to solve this crime. And really what our goal is here is to restore peace and security to the family and the neighborhood and to the community of Chanhassen here. With that said, the Carver County Sheriff's office, City of Chanhassen and the City of Eden Prairie are hosting a meeting here at the council chambers on Thursday evening at 7:00 3 City Council Meeting - November 13, 2006 p.m. and we invite all the, all the neighbors. Anyone in that surrounding area or anybody that has any questions or concerns about this crime to this meeting. We will have some crime prevention specialists here to share some tips with them on how to keep themselves safe and their homes safe. We'll certainly answer any questions that they might have regarding this incident. We want to stress that this is really an unusual crime and in all my years of law enforcement, I haven't seen one like this. It's really unique and we're doing everything we can to solve it and I really want to stress the point that we're trying to restore the peace and security to this family, to the neighborhood and to the community of Chanhassen. So that being said. Todd Gerhardt: Commander Enevold, how are you doing that? Are you stepping up patrol in the neighborhood? Throughout the community? How are you trying to instill that peace back into the neighborhoods? Commander Jeff Enevold: This is a neighborhood that borders on the city of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie so we're working with Eden Prairie who's providing extra patrol. The Carver County Sheriff's office is also providing some extra patrol, along with the full time deputies here in Chanhassen are providing extra patrol in that neighborhood and that area. Todd Gerhardt: If individuals can't make that meeting on Thursday night, is there a number that maybe somebody from the public could call to get questions answered or get some feedback on some crime prevention techniques? Commander Jeff Enevold: I would refer them to Sergeant Ross Gullickson here at Chanhassen City Hall. He could contact the Crime Prevention Specialist and we could certainly mail out information or answer any questions they would have over the phone, certainly. Todd Gerhardt: Okay. And I think the direct line number here to City Hall is 227-1100. Commander Jeff Enevold: That's correct. Todd Gerhardt: Thank you. Commander Jeff Enevold: Thank you. Mayor Furlong: So again, Thursday evening and that's here at City Hall. Todd Gerhardt: Yeah. In the council chambers at 7:00. Beth Hoiseth, our Crime Prevention Specialist. Carver County deputies will be here. We've also invited, as Commander Enevold had said, Eden Prairie officers. They don't have a Crime Prevention Specialist but they have somebody involved in that area, will also be in attendance. I believe Sheriff Olson will also be here leading the meeting. Mayor Furlong: Very good, thank you. Thank you gentlemen. Appreciate all your efforts. Anyone else for visitor presentations this evening? Seeing none, we'll move to council presentations. 4 City Council Meeting - November 13, 2006 COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS: None. ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS: Todd Gerhardt: Just trying to wrap up some of our construction activity before too much more snow flies. We have finished the parking lots and driveway access to Lake Ann. The rain gardens have been installed. We haven't completed the landscaping as of yet for those rain gardens but they are functional in the design and installation as of today. We are also have the driveway access to the water treatment site has been completed. We are, should be completed with our base course, the east/west collector. Bluff Creek Boulevard down in the 2005 MUSA area. That should be completed by Wednesday of this week with weather permitting. The moose that was on the loose in Chanhassen is no longer on the loose and is probably be a meal for somebody for Thanksgiving. You know I think the DNR did the right thing in controlling that situation so it didn't get out onto 494. I think that was a big concern in the area. Whenever you get a major highway like that so, it's sad to see but I think for public safety reasons that was a good decision. And they tried to control it in any other means, you know you've got a 1,200 pound animal. It would have taken quite a while for that animal to be captured, darted, whatever it might be. I think it may have been a real safety issue there so I think there was some questions in the public regarding that so, get that addressed. Other than that, it was a busy weekend dealing with the incident in Settlers West and I think they got some really good leads. You know a little bit more came out this afternoon so we're hopeful that we'll get a conviction on that incident and follow up on that. That's all I have. Mayor Furlong: Good. Any questions for Mr. Gerhardt? Very good. CORRESPONDENCE DISCUSSION. None. Councilman Lundquist moved, Mayor Furlong seconded to adjourn the meeting. All voted in favor and the motion carried with a vote of 2 to 0. The City Council meeting was adjourned at 6:50 p.m.. Submitted by Todd Gerhardt City Manager Prepared by Nann Opheim 5
