CC Minutes 07-27-2015Chanhassen City Council – July 27, 2015
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS: INVITATION TO NATIONAL NIGHT OUT,
TUESDAY, AUGUST 4.
Mayor Laufenburger: Good evening and welcome to this council meeting. To those present in
the chamber as well as though who may be watching on Cable Channel 8 at home and also for
the record all members of the council are present tonight. First of all I would like to make a
public announcement. Chanhassen, the city of Chanhassen will be participating in the National
th
Night Out on Tuesday, August 4. The Chanhassen fire department, the Carver County Sheriff’s
office along with city officials and staff will be visiting block parties from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Now National Night Out is the ideal event for gathering neighbors. Ideal because this program is
meant to be a neighborhood party but also ties in the public safety aspect by reminding residents
how they can help to maintain safe neighborhoods. Studies show that neighbors who know each
other are more likely to look out for each other, consequently safer environments to live and to
raise families. This night especially also gives city officials and law enforcement a chance to get
out and talk with citizens. I would like to invite residents to set aside this night to spend time
with your neighbors. And last year if I’m not mistaken Mr. Gerhardt we did over 50 National
Night Out neighborhoods, is that correct? And you can still register for Chanhassen’s event by
calling our public safety liaison, Beth Hoiseth and her phone number is 952-227-1610 or simply
call city offices and our receptionist will direct you to Beth Hoiseth. National Night Out, great
event for the entire community. Let me first deal with an agenda item. Council members are
there any modifications to the agenda for this evening’s meeting? If not then we will proceed
with the agenda as printed.
