CC Minutes 06-22-2015Chanhassen City Council – June 22, 2015
Councilman McDonald: I have a question about item 7. Did we as a council ever get around in
our work session to approving that?
Mayor Laufenburger: Actually Mr. Sticha do you want to answer that question? This is an item
D(7).
Greg Sticha: Item D(7) is the letter of intent that we discussed in the work session this evening
so that is part of the consent agenda. If you wanted to have a separate discussion on it we could
do that.
Councilman McDonald: Well I just want to make sure that we as staff had, if we needed to take
a vote on it or you know voice opinion that we had an opportunity to do that.
Mayor Laufenburger: Would you like to have that item off the consent agenda Councilman
McDonald?
Councilman McDonald: No, I think Mr. Sticha has answered by my question unless one of the
other council members feel the need to do so. I don’t.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay. There being no item to be taken off the consent agenda may I have
a motion to approve the consent agenda?
Councilman McDonald: So moved.
Mayor Laufenburger: Thank you Councilman McDonald. Is there a second?

LAW ENFORCEMENT/FIRE DEPARTMENT UPDATE.
Mayor Laufenburger: This is the night of our monthly law enforcement and fire department
update. I would like to invite Lieutenant Eric Kittelson from the Carver County Sheriff’s Office
to address us. Good evening Lieutenant.
Lt. Eric Kittelson: Good evening Mr. Mayor, council members. Before I get to the calls for
th
service I just wanted to address a couple things with the 4 of July celebration coming up next
week. Fireworks are illegal. Any substance or combination of substances or article prepared for
the purpose of producing a visible or audible effect by combustion, explosion or detonation. The
term does not include sparkling items which are non-explosive and non aerial and contain 75
grams or less of chemical mixture so basically if it flies or goes boom it’s illegal. If you can
purchase it at a local reputable retailer it’s not illegal but that’s the long and short of the
fireworks.
Mayor Laufenburger: Thank you for that clarification Lieutenant.
st
Lt. Eric Kittelson: And we concluded the informal seatbelt survey on May 31. There were 97
citations county wide for non use of seatbelt and 18 of those were in Chanhassen and the post
enforcement survey revealed a percentage usage rate of 97.3 which is extremely good and
th
something that we like to see. And then finally it’s kind of an early announcement but the 8
Annual Public Safety Forum. We’re going to be hosting that at the Chanhassen Rec Center on
th
September 16 and drug awareness will be the topic of discussion and the time for that is yet to
be determined. Into the calls for service we had 145 citations for traffic violations. 328
