The designation <br />would list New Brighton in the top one-half of one percent of the <br />law enforcement agencies in the country. <br /> <br />The New Brighton Police Reserve Program and the Voluntary Fitness <br />Program may be considered National exemplary projects. <br /> <br />The accreditation hearing will be held on July 29, 1989, in <br />Columbus, Ohio. Staff members will be present to answer questions. <br /> <br />Benke spoke to one of the assessors and said they have found the <br />staff to be very professional and cooperative. <br /> <br />Council congratulated the Pol ice force for their work on this <br />exciting venture. <br /> <br />David Childs, City Manager, presented the petition for action on the <br />Long Lake northern access. <br /> <br />The Ci ty rece i ved a pet it i on from res i dents of the Mi ss i ss i pp i <br />Street area requesting the city expedite the planned trail. The <br />residents noted that the only access to the park is via Old Highway <br />10, which is a busy truck route and is unsafe to cross. <br /> <br />The master plan for development of Long Lake Regional Park calls for <br />development of a trail and bridge access from Mississippi Street. <br />Funding for this development is to come from state bond funds <br />administered by the Metropolitan Council and Ramsey County. State <br />Bonding bills are usually considered in even numbered years, but the <br />request was turned down and will be reconsidered next year. <br /> <br />Ramsey County said they would welcome assistance in the project and <br />have prepared a cost estimate. If the city decided to proceed with <br />the project, a repayment schedule would be negotiated, plans and <br />specifications would be prepared and the project would be bid during <br />winter 1989-90 with construction in early 1990. <br /> <br />Council Bus i ness <br /> <br />Report on Police <br />Accreditation Process <br />Report 89-157A <br /> <br />Petition for Action on <br />Long Lake Northern <br />Access <br />Report 89-157A <br />
