AG~I~ NO: ,l~ FINANCE A~P~g~J ITEM: CHANGE IN LOCATION OF BY: WILLIAM E LRIT, E BY:E:~ 7//~/ PRECINCT #5 ~t) DATE: 6/25/96 ~,)~ DAT NO: ~..,~, ~, For several years now the City has had eight election precincts located at the following addresses: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. John P. Murzyn Hall, 530 Mill Street NW Electronics Institute, 825 41st Avenue N.E. Parkview Villa, 965 40th Avenue N.E. Highland Elementary, 1500 49th Avenue N.E. Shiloh Bethany Church, 4301 Benjamin Street N.E. Highland Elementary, 1500 49th Avenue N.E. Valley View Elementary, 800 49th Avenue N.E. Valley View Elementary, 800 49th Avenue N.E. Over this period of time, these election precincts have worked out fairly well. During this time period basically Precincts 4 and 5 were combined into one precinct and the polling place at Prestemon Park was eliminated. The residents were moved from the polling place at Prestemon Park to the polling place at Shiloh Bethany. Since that time we have consistently received a significant number of complaints regarding the handicapped accessibility of Shiloh Bethany. Technically, Shiloh Bethany is very close to meeting the handicapped accessibility requirements; however, the parking lot nearest the handicapped access is in very rough and deteriorated condition. The sidewalk going up to the handicapped access is of minimal width, the door is a little difficult to open, and once inside the door, it is a significant distance to where the poll is located. Based on this, Jo-Anne Student, Deputy City Clerk, has reviewed other alternatives for polling places in precinct 5. One alternative would be the Prestemon Park building; however, this also has several restrictions, including the size of the building, lighting, and access. It is just not large enough to accommodate a large voter turnout. What appears to be the best alternative in precinct 5 is First Lutheran Church. This is a large, newly remodeled building with excellent parking and excellent handicapped accessibility. Jo-Anne has contacted the business manager of the Church and received his approval for the City to use the Church for future elections. It is staff's recommendation that the polling place for precinct 5 be moved from Shiloh Bethany to First Lutheran Church at 1555 40th Avenue N.E. As far as general location within the precinct, First Lutheran Church is somewhat more centrally located than Shiloh Bethany. With the movement of this precinct polling place, the County will send out postcards to alt registered voters in precinct 5 informing them of the change in polling place. The City will be responsible for the cost of this mailing which, with postage and postcards, is anticipated to be approximately $700. Funds are available in the election budget for this expense. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to designate First Lutheran Church at 1555 40th Avenue N.E. as the official election polling place for precinct 5 for future city, county, and federal elections. WE:dh 96O6258 COUNCIL ACTION: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: BILL ELRITE, CITY CLERK JEAN ANDRES, ELECTION LIAISON JUNE 17, 1996 NO. 5 On Friday, June 14, 1996, I contacted Chester Shattuck, Business Manager for the First Lutheran Church, regarding using that facility as an election poll site for Precinct No. 5. Mr. Shattuck authorized the use of the gymnasium for the Primary Election (Tuesday, September 10, 1996 and for the General Election, Tuesday, November 5, 1996.) I verified the availability of the building with Cheryl, the Church Secretary. I advised her the hours of the polls are 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. I also advised her the judges would need access to the building by 6:00 a.m. and would not be out much before 10:00 a.m. As this is a Presidential Election, it could well run later than our "normal" 9:00. Cheryl felt the 6:00 a.m. hour was too early for any of the custodial staff to be expecgted to be at the Church. She advised we are welcome to pick up the keys to the building and the gym the day before each of the elections. I told her the election equipment would be delivered and set up the day before each election and that City staff does all of the setting up. No church employees will be needed. I briefly discussed any monetary considerations with Mr. Shatmck. He made no specific requests, but in fairness, perhaps some thought should be given to costs associated with janitorial services as well as electricty and some wear and tear on the building which would be incurred by the Church. I understand that the previous site for poll 5, Shiloh Bethany Church, was paid by the City. Since I have no contact with people at Shiloh Bethany Church, I would appreciate your contacting church staff to inform them we would not be needing their building for elections. Please advise me of any decisions you make regarding compensation to the Church. CiTY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: July 8, 1996 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MAN~ER'~ NO: ~.

At that meeting, the consensus of the Council and the recommendation of staff was that WaterPro, utilizing Sensus water meters, provided the most cost effective system under a total RadioRead installation. One of the concerns of the Council was how the actual meters would perform in the City of Columbia Heights, and how efficient they would be. Based on this, staff has met with WaterPro and they have provided a supplemental proposal to install 100 new RadioRead meters. Fifty of these meters would be replacement for current, older meters, and they would be installed in a concentrated area of the City. The other 50 meters would be an upgrade of current Sensus meters that had been installed in the last five years and can be readily upgraded to RadioRead meters. Once they are installed, WaterPro would return to the City on a monthly basis for three months with the computerized, mobile RadioRead equipment, and provide a demonstration on reading the meters. These readings would then be electronically fed into the City's computer system to produce utility bills on these accounts under a fully automated basis. On the three trips WaterPro makes to the City, both staff and Councilmembers may tour with them to see an actual demonstration of reading the automated meters and the downloading of the information from the mobile computer to the City computer. The purpose of installing the 50 new meters in a concentrated area would be to show the effects of reading meters when they are in a concentrated area and the distance under which they can be picked up. The remaining 50 meters that are spread throughout the City would show how accurately they can be read under different topography in the City and the distances at which they can be picked up. The cost in this proposal for installation of 50 meters are at the same costs as the total proposal for a large-scale installation. WaterPro will do all of the installation work, including contacting the residents for the installation. Selection of the residences for meter installation will be done by City staff. In addition, the only other equipment or software that is necessary is a software upgrade to the City's financial computer to allow for downloading the meter readings. This software costs $4,000 and is the only upgrade to the City software/hardware that would be needed if and when the City goes to an entire City- wide RadioRead system. This software was budgeted in the sewer and water administration departments in the 1996 adopted budget. There is $90,000 budgeted in 1996 for meter replacement--S45,000 each in the water and sewer construction fund budgets. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into contracts with WaterPro in the amount of $22,250 for the installation of 100 RadioRead meters, and to enter into a contact with Business Records Corporation for a software upgrade in the amount of $4,000 to allow for the automated downloading of meter readings.

Plans and specifications were requested by nine firms for the May t7, 1996, bid opening. Only one bid was submitted. The bid from Midwest Asphalt Corporation was in the amount of $649,882.95. As the only bid received exceeded the available funding, the bid was rejected by the City Council at their meeting of May 28, 1996. At that meeting, the Council directed staff to evaluate the plans and specifications and report back on the feasibility of rebidding the project. Staff has spoken with several contractors, consultants and other cities with regard to the high bid prices received on this project. From those discussions and the staff's own analysis, the following factors appear to have been the cause for the lack of bids and, therefore, the higher costs: The specified time limits for the construction were tight. The relatively short construction time frame was based on the desire to have the construction done before the seal coat project in the same area. COUNCIL ACTION: CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: 7/8/96 AGENDA SECTION: ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER NO. PUBLIC WORKS ITEM: AUTHORIZATION TO REBID 1996 BY: M. Winson ~/~J BY: NO. STREET REHABILITATION PROJECT DATE: 7/3/96'/t DATE: Cont'd - Page 2 2. The specifications with regard to the cold-in-place recycling procedure would have required double handling of the material. 3o Concrete contractors had already lined up sufficient work for the proposed time of construction resulting in bid prices approximately 60% higher than usual. A number of large paving projects had already been let for construction during the time frame given in our project resulting in fewer firms interested in pursuing the work which generally results in higher bids. Staff has reviewed and modified the plans and specifications in light of the above items and feel that by rebidding the project for construction beginning in September, less expensive bids can be obtained. Staff recommends to the City Council that the project be rebid. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize staff to seek sealed bids for the 1996 Street Rehabilitation Project, consisting of P.I.R. #906, #907, #908, #909, #910, #911, #912 and #914, being projects #9415, #9416, #9417, #9418, #9419, #9420, #9421 and #9423 respectively.

During investigation of Mr. Floyd's driving record by the Police Department, it was found that Mr. Floyd had falsified his application answering "no" to the question "Have you ever had any driving violations?" and "Have you ever been convicted of a crime or misdemeanor?" The Police Department has found that Mr. Floyd has tags and arrests on his driving record, three of which are misdemeanors. A letter was mailed to Mr. Floyd on June 25, 1996 informing him of the recommendation of denial and notifying him of the City Council meeting date. A copy of that letter was also mailed to his employer, Suburban Taxi Corporation, to the attention of Michael Waldmann, the general manager. On June 28, 1996 the letter mailed to Mr. Floyd at the address stated on his application was returned by the post office indicating that Mr. Floyd was no longer at that address and no forwarding address was on file. I then attempted to contact Mr. Floyd at the telephone number on his application and that number has been disconnected. On July 3, 1996 I was able to contact Mr. Waldmann at Suburban Taxi Corp. to verify that he had received my letter regarding Mr. Floyd and informed him that Mr. Floyd no longer resided at the address stated on the license application. He stated that he would attempt to reach Mr. Floyd and have him contact my office. Section 5.104(3) of the License Ordinance states: "Nondisclosure, misrepresentation or misstatement of a material fact in any application for a license under this chapter shall be a prima facie showing of cause for revocation, suspension, or such other action restricting the privileges of a licensee as the City Council may determine". Due to the fact that Mr. Floyd has falsified information on his license application and does, in fact, have items of concern on his record, and now has an invalid drivers license due to an inaccurate address, Staff recommends denial of the taxicab driver license. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to deny the license application of William Elmer Floyd for a taxicab driver license based on the findings of the Police Department. COUNCIL ACTION: ccag796.nol SECTION 4 5.10 (a) (b) REVOCATION AND SUSPENSION The Council may for cause revoke'or suspend a license, or take other actionrestricting the privileges of a licensee subject to the following requir~ments~ The Council shall provide the licensee with a written statement of reasons or causes for the proposed Council action together with a notice for public hearing. The Council shall conduct a public hearing on the proposed action and provide findings of fact and citat- ions to any ordinances or regulations that have been violated together with a statement of action taken and the conditions of any resulting revocation, suspension, or other action restricting the privileges of the licensee. 5.104 (2) The Clerk shall certify and forward the findings and statement of action taken to the person in whose name said license was issued by mailing the same to the mailing address indicated on the license application. A violation of any provision of this chapter or of a state law, prescribing standards of conduct or regulations governing a licensee; the particular type of business or commercial activity or trade or occupation that is licensed; or ~he premises where the licensed activity is conducted; shall be a prima facie showing of cause for revocation, suspension, or such other action restrict- ing the privileges of a licensee as the Council may determine.' 5.10 (3) Nondisclosure, misrepresentation or misstatement of a material fact in any application for a license under this chapter shall be a prima facie showing of cause for revocation, suspension or such other action restricting the privileges of a licensee as the Council may determine. 5.10 The refusal of any licensee or his agent or representative to grant consent to a lawful authorized administrative inspection of the licensed premises may be grounds for revocation, suspension, or such other action restricting the privileges of a licensee as the Council may determine, subject to the provisions of 5.103 (2) (b).

Floyd 10206 Fillmore Street Blaine, Mn. 55434 Dear Mr. Floyd: Your application for a license to drive a taxicab vehicle within the City of Columbia Heights has been reviewed by the Police Department. Your application for a license has been recommended for denial due to the falsification of statements on your application. That recommendation of denial will be placed on the City Council agenda for the City Council meeting of July 8, 1996. Your application stated that you have never had any driving violations nor have you ever been convicted of a crime or misdemeanor. The Police Department found that your driving record shows tags and arrests, three of which are misdemeanors. If you have any questions regarding the review of your license application, you may contact Captain Leonard Olson in the Columbia Heights Police Department at 782-2846.

GAUVITrE ROOM, MURZYN HALL AGENDA Call to Order The meeting was called to order at 6:05 P.M. Roll Call Members present: Bill Antzaras, Ted Landwehr, Steve Mihalchick, Bruce Nawrocki, Gary Olson, Keith Roberts, Dick Schmidt, Theresia Synowczynski, Nan Tilkens, Jamie Verbrugge, John Yencho Members absent and excused: John Murzyn, Lester Wodziak Members absent and unexcused: Ken Kronstedt NOTE: There are currently fourteen members on the commission. Approval of Minutes - January 25, 1996 Motion by Nan Tilkens, seconded by Keith Roberts, to approve the minutes of January 25, 1996. Motion passed unanimously. Jamie Verbrugge and John Yencho arrived at 6:08 p.m. Ted Landwehr arrived at 6:10 p.m. Correspondence None Old Business Discussion on Commission Recognition Dinner Discussion was held if and where a commission dinner should be held. Some commissioners felt that since this commission only meets quarterly, a recognition dinner was not necessary. Motion by Steve Mihalchick, seconded by Keith Roberts to not hold a commission dinner. Motion passed 10 yes, 1 no, 0 abstained. Status of Referendum Amendment Jamie Verbrugge reviewed his sub-committee report of February 20, 1996, with the entire commission. He made mention that none of the six (Bloomington, Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Fridley, Richfield, and Robbinsdale) other city charters the committee had looked at mentioned use of the City Attorney. Regarding signatures on petitions, he recommended using 10% of the total votes cast at the last regular municipal election. He also suggested that Option 3 of the report is the best one, which is to not include any mention of the City Attorney in Section 36, and instead include language in Section 39, consistent with language in all of the charters reviewed, that directs the City Clerk to review the petition and make a determination as to its sufficiency. If the petition is determined to be insufficient, the City Clerk will return the petition to the committee to be amended within 30 days. Bruce Nawrocki stated that if we went to a statutory city, then we could take referendum and initiative out of the process entirely. Steve Mihalchick stated that he liked Section 5.04 in Bloomington's charter. He stated that it appeared that Bloomington was the only City Charter that mentioned City Attorney. Motion by Jamie Verbrugge, seconded by Steve Mihalchick to make the following recommendations: 1) to set the limits for the committee's expenditures to $400; 2) to use the same language as in Bloomington's charter, omitting the first and last sentence of Section 5.04, Initiative of Measures, to read as follows: "Before circulating any petition, they shall submit to the City Attorney a copy of the proposed ordinance, and the City Attorney shall approve same or put it into a form which is legally sufficient for the purpose intended. Shall the City Attorney fail to take such action with ten days from the date on which the proposed ordinance is submitted to the City Attorney, such proposed ordinance shall be deemed legally sufficient and a verified copy thereof shall be filed with the City Clerk, together with the names and addresses of the members of such committee." 3) to use 10% of the total votes cast in the preceding regular municipal election for the number of signatures required on the petition; 4) to have the City Attorney take these recommendations and put them into the proper form. Motion passed 10 yes, 1 no. Council Vacancies Commission members had been sent a copy of the latest revisions from the City Attorney regarding Chapter 2, Section 9, Vacancies in the Council. The Recording Secretary passed out copies of Senate File 2255 which was recently passed by the legislature. This bill only applies to vacancies regarding offices of mayor or councilmembers in statutory cities and county commissioner. However, the wording was reviewed to see if any pertinent wording should be added or removed from our last draft on Section 9 of the charter. Keith Roberts left at 6:55 p.m. After discussion, a motion was made by Jamie Yerbrugge, seconded by Theresia Synowczynski, that applications should be submitted to the City Clerk instead of the Mayor. Motion passed unanimously. John Yencho left at 7:25 p.m. Motion by Bruce Nawrocki, seconded by Steve Mihalchick, that the language "The council shall interview each of the applicants...either individually or as a council" be changed to read "The council shall interview each of the applicants...as a council". Motion passed 5 yes, 4 no, 0 abstaining. It was noted that the word "the" before the word "council" on line 13 should be added. Motion passed unanimously. Discussion was then held as to when does the 15 days start? After the close of interviews, or after the 30 days expires, or what? Motion by Steve Mihalchick, seconded by Dick Schmidt, to add the following language to line 28,: "After the f'mal interview is completed..." and strike "thereafter". Motion failed 1 yes, 8 no, 0 abstained. April 18, 1996 Page 2 Nan Tilkens left at 7:42 p.m. Motion by Jamie Verbrugge, seconded by Ted Landwehr that "After the 30 day interview period, the Council shall make its appointment from the pool of applications within fifteen days. Motion passed 9 yes, 0 no, 0 abstained. Motion by Jamie Verbrugge, seconded by Steve Mihalchick to accept the draft as amended. A second reading of this amended charter language will be held at the next charter commission meeting in July. New Business Preparation of Annual Report The Recording Secretary mentioned that according to state statutes, the Charter Commission is to report to the Chief Judge annually on activities of the commission. It was moved to have the Recording Secretary prepare the annual report by the end of the year. Membership Status/New Membership List The Recording Secretary stated that she had been informed by the Chief Judge that at least two applications had been received for the last vacancy on the commission, and that an appointment should be coming soon from his office. Once the last appointment is made, a new membership list will be prepared and circulated. Next Meeting Date The next regular meeting is July 18, 1996, at 6 p.m. Ad,iournment Motion by Bruce Nawrocki, seconded by Jamie Verbrugge, to adjourn at 7:55 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Carole Blowers Recording Secretary April 18, 1996 Page 3 TO: FROM: DATE: RE: CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MARK A.

RQ/rq Admin: OpRpt96.Jun TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: COLUMBIA HEIGHTS POLICE DEPARTMENT Mayor and City Council Members Thomas M. Johnson, Chief of Police~' ~/~ Operational Report, June, 1996 June 28, 1996 Events/Accomplishments Neighborhood picnics were the top priority of the month for our department. Three picnics were held during the month. The first event was held at Sullivan Park. We were overwhelmed by the turnout; over 230 people were on hand. Our second picnic took place at Hilltop City Hall, where we had approximately 80 attendees. This picnic was also enjoyed by those in attendance and the pass-around plates were fantastic. The third picnic was at Lomianki Park, and once again, was attended by approximately 80 people. A great time and some good interaction was enjoyed by ail in attendance. The officers involved in these events--including Sergeants Roddy and Schmidt, Officers Dietz and Schlemmer, CSO's Menth and Peterson~did a great job. I wish to commend their efforts. We still have two picnics to go---one at Kordiak Park on Wednesday, July 10, 1996, and another at Ostrander Park on Wednesday, July 17, 1996. During the month the Council passed two new ordinances, which we feel will greatly assist this summer. The first ordinance involves the possession of spray paint by persons under the age of 18. This will assist us with our graffiti enforcement efforts. The second ordinance is an attempt to regulate sound emanating from a standing, parked, or moving vehicle. We will be trying to obtain compliance from the violators by warning them fzrst and then tagging if compliance is not obtained. Co We restarted the vehicle transport for detox, arrests, and curfew violations with the cities of Fridley and Spring Lake Park during the month. We are performing these functions on Friday and Saturday nights and rotating through the three departments. We started June 21 and 22. We also decided that we would use our own vehicles and that we could pair a reserve or CSO with an officer to perform this function, thus keeping costs down. On June 26 the Joint Law Enforcement Council met. It was decided that we would restart the transport program on a county-wide level beginning in August and continuing until January 1997, at which time the program would be re-evaluated. Also, alternative sources of funding the program and the vehicle are being researched. Do We had applied for $72,000 in grant money from the State of Minnesota and were very fortunate to obtain $30,000 for overtime funding. The original nine agencies that were to split the 1.4 million appropriation by the State grew to 40 agencies. I have attached a copy of the distribution of the funds; I think we did quite well. It is my understanding that these funds may be available next year, at which time we will reapply. We are developing a plan of action for these funds, which we should receive within the next couple of weeks. I will keep you advised as to the use of the funds. Mayor and City Council Page 2 June 28, 1996 .E. We were also advised that we have been designated to receive $20,349 from a Department of Justice block grant. We must match $2,261 on this grant and it can be used for overtime or equipment. The paperwork has been completed and we are moving forward with the application. A Council resolution is forthcoming at the July 8 Council meeting. Officer Mark Hickey is recovering from hip surgery, which he says is going well. Mark told me that even with the pain from the surgery, it is still less pain than he was experiencing with the arthritis in his hip. We will keep you updated as we get more information. Go We are moving ahead in our efforts to hire an additional CSO. We are currently looking at the existing job description and at the applicants who were interviewed the last time we tested. A determination will be made as to whether a new test is needed. Hopefully, a new person will be on board some time in late July or early August. Our new summer bike safety patrol officer, Melissa McManis, has been trained and is out on the streets enforcing our bike laws. Melissa will be running two bike seminars in July for the juveniles who have been tagged for violations to date. We wish to thank our former bike officer, Kevin Rosar, for assisting the department in the training of Melissa. We wish Kevin success in his new job and venture. I have taken part in the collaborative committee that Park and Recreation put together for their after school activities grant. It appears this grant is moving forward, and we will assist them in any way we can with the program. J. I have attached a copy of our annual report on D.A.R.E. activities for your information. K. The annual Jamboree at the time of this report has been relatively incident free. We are prepared for the parade and fireworks and will have a police presence throughout the event. II. Projects\Goals A. The review committee of which I am a part is continuing to review the licensing ordinances. We have completed the cigarette ordinance and are moving into grocery stores and fresh foods. I have been asked to serve as a committee chair for the Minnesota State Chiefs of Police Association. We are being asked to look into the possibility of a State accreditation process. Our first meeting will be in Columbia Heights on July 17, 1996. III. Issues/Problems A. Nothing to report at this time. At the time of this report, the statistical information for the month of June was not complete. This information will be forwarded to you as soon as it is complete.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENTS Buildinq Inspections/Permits/Zoninq/Grants The "Protective Inspections, Building Permits" monthly report is attached as Exhibit "A". As of month end in June 1996 a total of 199 building permits were issued. This compares with 232 at month end of June 1995. Of special note is the valuation of permits issued to date. Total residential building permits are valued at month end at $1-,950,186 which compares to $1,603,138 at month end June 1995. For total Commercial, Institutional, and Industrial building permits the valuation was $6,810,525 at month end June 1996 which compares to $1,253,237 in 1995. The total valuations at month end of June 1996 are $8,912,092 versus $2,986,857 in 1995. This significant variation in total valuations can be attributed to the 60,000 square foot expansion of Medtronic, Inc. with a value of approximately $6,000,000. The Building Inspector has commenced his duties effective Monday, July 1, 1996 after recovering from his heart attack of June 20, 1996.

Columbia Heights, MN 55421 JUN 26 mQ~ MANAG. E,'-~ CiTY OF COLUMBIA HE!GHT? Dear Mr. Hentges: Welcome to "Collaboration Connection," a newsletter published by the Anoka County Children and Family Council. The Council was formed to help Anoka County and the school districts work together to serve Anoka County children. Our intent is to get up stream of some of the serious problems children face, thereby saving tax dollar expenditures in the future. Two Council initiatives are examples of how collaborative efforts between the county, schools and community groups can reduce duplication and enhance services to families. In the two years that the School Based Teams have existed, they have done great work with families, thereby improving children's ability to learn in the classroom. The other initiative is the C.A.R.E. Center (Comprehensive Assessment, Referral, Education). The C.A.R.E. Center's early detection of health problems has helped families avoid more serious consequences and larger expenses later. It has been a pleasure to watch county staff, school district staff, and public partners such as Central Center, Mercy, Unity, Lutheran Social Services and others find ways to work more effectively and efficiently. We want you to be aware of ho:*,, our mutual constituents are being served. So from now on, you'll receive a copy of the enclosed newsletter about every other month. And, we want to invite you to offer any thoughts you may have that would help us improve our services. I'm pleased to co-chair the Anoka County Superintendent of Spring Lake Park Schools. me at 323-5740. Children and Family Council with Dr. Chris Huber, Should you have any ideas to share with us, please call Sincerely, Margaret Langfeld Anoka County Comissioner ML:rw Enct FAX: 323-5682 Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer TDD/TTY: 323-5289 Briefings from Mercy Hospital is part of Allina Health System, a not-fOr- profit integrated health system. The Behavioral Health Services of Ailina offer a full continuum of care for adolescents. The mental health programs at Mercy Hospital are designed to help adolescents adjust to the problems that affect personal, family, and school life. Because everyone's situation is unique, programs are designed to meet the needs of each individual. Inpatient care is provided for those who need a structured, protected environment. The partial hospitalization program .is offered for individuals who have a safe, supportive environment to return home to in the evening and who are not at risk for harm. Elements of the inpatient and partial programs include individual and group therapy, family intervention, nursing care, and psychiatric services. Anoka- Hennepin School District 11 provides integrated school programming on site. Individuals are connected to appropriate community resources after discharge from the inpatient or partial programs. Crisis Intervention Services are available for youths and their families, free of charge, 24 hours each day. Whether over the phone or in person, the crisis center provides assessment and referral services to those in need. Outreach services are provided through Mercy Hospital as well. Since 1990, the Youth at Risk program has targeted the needs and concerns of children at risk for developing unhe~althy~ negative behaviors. The program provides a mental health professional to area schools to provide SUpport groups, consultations, staff services, and classroom presentations. Active Parenting and Families Talk About Sexuality classes are offered throughout the school year. Mercy Behavioral Health is currently participating in the development of a smoking cessation program which will be piloted in a school this fall. Adolescent outpatient counseling and substance abuse programs are offered at nearby sites. A children's residential program is also available through Allina Behavioral Health Jane Larson, the Director of Behavioral Health Services at Mercy Hospital, serves on the Council.

June~ 1996 COVNCrL SgrS Pmomrms Expanding membership on the Children and Family Council, and establishing a program to identify families at- risk at birth were among the top four vote getters in a recent suryey used to determine priorities for the Council. The items were selected throUgh a process that started with volunteers meeting over the winter to develop a vision for the Council. The vision includes goals under five areas: sense of community, family services cooperation, economic growth, health promotion, and lifelong learning. These ureas will be further discussed in upcoming issues. Once the vision, or mission statement, was agreed upon, Volunteers then brainstormed on ways the Council could fulfill the goals. A list of 23 ideas was presented in a survey to Council members for their input on prioritizing the activities. At the May 9 Council meeting, the results of the survey were presented. The four priorities from the survey are: · Expand Council membership to Other areas such as churches, cities, businesses, law enforcement agencies, etc. · Establish a program to identify families at-risk at birth and provide appropriate intervention. · Continue and expand school based teams and C.A.R.E. Centers. · Publicize the Children and Family Council vision to all areas of the county (city councils, school boards, etc.). Smaller work groups are noW develoPing Plans to carry out these priorities. For example, the committee working on publicizing the vision is doing a brochure and is scheduling meetings with the county board and school boards. The next meeting of the Council is Thursday, 1 September 12, 1996, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. in 1 Room 300 of the Blaine Human Service Center.
