She reported these cats were running wild, were hurt and neglected. She explained <br />she called the trailer park to discuss her concern and was told to speak with Jeremy from the <br />City of New Brighton. She requested the City also look into the number of cars from the trailer <br />park that were parking in front of her home. <br />Mayor Niedfeldt-Thomas reported staff would gather information based on these comments <br />and would be in touch regarding these concerns. <br />Sherry McNeil, 2559 Mounds View Drive, indicated she was also concerned about the number <br />of cats within the trailer park. She recalled the cats used to be trapped on a yearly basis, but <br />feared this was not being done now. She explained the cats would continue to move out into <br />the surrounding neighborhood if not trapped. <br />Scott Hubbard, 430 10th Avenue NW, stated he had issues with the parking that was occurring <br />on 4th Street from the trailer park. He noted he has spoken with the police department about <br />this issue, but feared nothing was being done to address his concern. He explained some cars <br />have been parked on the street for up to a month, which meant his street was not being swept <br />or plowed. He asked that the City also address the cat concern at the trailer park. He reported <br />he has been in the neighborhood for the past 54 years and he had concerns about the type of <br />activity that was occurring at the trailer park. <br />Councilmember Allen thanked his neighbors for coming in today and speaking to the issues <br />that were occurring in the neighborhood. He understood working with the owners of the <br />manufactured home park was difficult at times. He encouraged staff and the Public Safety <br />Department to address the concerns that have been raised regarding cats and parking. <br /> <br />Approval of Agenda <br />Approval of the September 27, 2022 Council Agenda. <br />Call to Order <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Pledge of Allegiance <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Public Comment <br />Forum <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Approval of Agenda <br />Approval of the <br />September 27, 2022 <br />COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS <br />THE CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON
