I I I Council Meeting Minutes November 14, 1995 Page 4 Consent Agenda. continued 7. CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL TO WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION RESTRICTING PARKING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF 10TH STREET NW BETWEEN 3RD AVENUE NW AND THE EAST CITY LIMITS. 4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. Public Hearing - None Council Business Park and Recreation Director Maurie Anderson presented the installation of a pedestrian bridge at the Family Service Center (FSC). Plans to install the bridge at the southwest corner were altered due to unstable soils. Staff would like to relocate the bridge to the Polari property in order to connect to the FSC parking lot. A soils analysis was performed and results were favorable for a bridge of this weight and size. This is a natural location to bring people from the parking lot to the FSC. The installation costs include abutments, transportation and placement, and no new budget dollars are required at this time. Samuelson asked when the parking lot will be constructed. Anderson said the cost for the parking lot is being reviewed in the 1996 budget, and after approval the bridge should be constructed in the spring or summer. Motion by Williams, seconded by Larson, to APPROVE THE INSTALLATION OF THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE AT THE SOUTHEAST FAMILY SERVICE CENTER LOCATION. 4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. Kelley presented development of a School Liaison Officer position at Irondale High. Previously, staff discussed the position's feasibility with the Mounds View Police Chief and Mounds View School District 621. Last year, a New Brighton Officer was assigned to a pilot program which was very well received by school staff. The candidate would be an existing New Brighton officer available for field duty on school holidays, vacations, and during the summer. It is proposed the school district provide $37,000, and the cities would share the remaining at a 60/40 split with New Brighton paying 60%. The program will involve youth-service learning, peer mediation, and emphasis on local government in Civics classes. Benke asked if the position would produce youth service programs. Fulton said the district recognizes these programs are more broader than just the school liaison. Samuelson asked the result on the pilot program. Kelley senses it worked out well and the school supports the idea. The officer would wear plainclothes, and it takes about a month for students to warm up but eventually the officer is welcomed.
