VISITOR PRESENTATIONS:
Commander Jeff Enevold: Good evening Mr. Mayor and Council. Thank you. 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

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.

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
