DATE: J AN 1~, 1'3'34
TO: THE ST JOSEPH CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CHIEF LINDGREN
SUBJECT: MONTHLY REPORTS (DEC.)
DEAR COUNCIL MEMBERS,
PLEASE FIND ENCLOSED THE DECEMBER INCIDENT REPORTS. I
WILL BE WORKING ON THE YEAR END REPORTS AND HOPE TO HAVE IT
READY BY NEXT MONTH. DECEMBER WAS AGAIN FAIRLY ACTIVE.
I WILL ALSO BE ENCLOSING ONE OF THE FORMS I HAVE TO
SUBMIT TO THE STATE FOR THE SAFE AND SOBER PROJECT. THIS IS
THE VERY BRIEF 1 PAGE OVERVIEW OF OUR ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES.
~ THERE ARE TWO IMPORTANT ITEMS THAT STRIKE OUT AT ME. THE
- FIRST ONE IS: EVEN WHEN WE WERE AGGRESSIVELY ENFORCING
DURING THIS PROGRAM PERIOD, WE STILL GAVE MORE WARNINGS THAN
CITATIONS. 119 WARNINGS VS 81 CITATIONS. SECONDLY, THE
D.W.I.'S TOTALED THREE. WE HAD 4 D.W.I.'S ON A SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE PROJECT STARTED, INCLUDING ONE
D. W. 1. ARREST FOR THE VEHICLE THAT,CRASHED IN THE DIRT LOT
AND TOOK OUT A TREE AND SIDEWALK BENCH. HOPEFULLY, ACTIVELY
ENFORCING AND ANNOUNCING OUR INTENTIONS REDUCED THE NUMBER OF
IMPAIRED DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.
ADDITIONALLY, AND BY WAY OF THIS PROGRAM, WE ARE ISSUING
MORE CITATIONS FOR SEAT BELT VIOLATIONS. SEAT BELT
VIOLATIONS ARE A SECONDARY OFFENSE, MEANING THE VEHICLE WAS
STOPPED FOR ANOTHER VIOLATION, TYPICALLY SPEED. DEPENDING ON
THE SPEED, DRIVING RECORD, ETC. OFTEN TIMES WE WARNED FOR THE
SPEEDING OFFENSE ($71.Ø0 FINE, AND A RECORDED DRIVING RECORD
VIOLATION) AND CITE FOR THE SEAT BELT. ($42.00 FINE, THAT
DOES NOT GO ON THE DRIVING RECORD) ALTERNATIVELY, A SPEED
AND A SEAT BELT VIOLATION IS $123.00. SELDOM DO WE ISSUE
BOTH, AND AGAIN IT DEPENDS ON THE SPEED, DRIVING RECORD, AND
THE TOTAL SITUATION. IN SHORT, I BELIEVE AS IN ALL AREAS WE
ENFORCE AND DEAL WITH, WE ARE DELIVERING A VERY TEMPERED
RESPONSE, STRESSING SAFETY, AND HOPEFULLY MAKING IT SAFER FOR
EVERYONE OUT THERE.
PLEASE ALSO FIND ENCLOSED, AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION A
THANK YOU CARD TO OFFICER YOUNG, A THANK YOU FROM THIS
DEPARTMENT FOR A DONATION FROM THE AMERICAN LEGION FOR THE
OFFICERS SHARE OF PURCHASING/REPLACING BULLET RESISTANT
VESTS. AND ANOTHER GERMANE LETTER.

PLEASE ~SO FIND ENCLOSED A LETTER FROM THE COUNTY
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND A COPY OF A $lØØØ.ØØ BANK MONEY ORDER.
THIS IS FORFEITURE MONEY TO OUR DEPARTMENT, AND FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT USE RELATIVE TO A FELONY THEFT CASE I CONDUCTED
LAST YEAR. AT THIS POINT I WOULD LIKE TO USE THESE FUNDS TO
UPGRADE THE UNMARKED CAR. IE. DASH MOUNTED RED LIGHTS, WIG
WAY HEADLIGHTS, HAND HELD SPOT LIGHT, ETC. ETC. WOULD THE
COUNCIL HAVE ANY OBJECTION OF USING THESE ADDITIONAL FUNDS
FOR THIS PURPOSE 7
ALSO, RELATIVE TO THE SUBJECT OF MONEY, LAST MONTH
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WERE BROUGHT IN BY OR FOR THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT. THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS:
FORFEITURE 7ØX OF $1,ØØØ.Øø======$7ØØ.ØØ

AGAIN, THIS IS FOR YOUR INFORMATION, AND WHAT IT'S
WORTH.
THERE ARE TWO OTHER ITEMS THAT I WILL WRITE YOU
SEPARATELY ON, BLUE LIGHTS FOR THE BACK OF THE LIGHT BARS
<NEW LAW) AND THE PURCHASE OF A NEW P.B.T. (GRANT WILL PAY
FOR HALF)
SINCERELY,

SUBJECT: BLUE LIGHTS
DEAR COUNCIL MEMBERS,
THIS PAST YEAR THE LEGISLATURE PASSED A LAW THAT PERMITS
BLUE LIGHTS ON POLICE VEHICLES, FORMERLY FORBIDDEN. THE LAW
ALLOWS POLICE VEHICLES TO HAVE BLUE LIGHTS TO THE REAR OF THE
VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THE LAW WENT INTO EFFECT WITH THE AUG. 1,
1994 BATCH.
. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE SEEN ANY IN RECENT MONTHS, BUT
SEVERAL AREA AGENCIES HAVE SWITCHED TO BLUE. THE MINNESOTA
CHIEF'S OF POLICE ASSOCIATION RECOMMENDS THAT IF AGENCIES DO
USE BLUE LIGHTS THAT THEY BE MOUNTED ON THE REAR PASSENGER
SIDE ONLY TO KEEP UNIFORMITY THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
THE BLUE LIGHTS, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT ARE VERY DISTINCT
AND VISIBLE. IT DIFFERENTIATES LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES FROM
TOW TRUCKS, AMBULANCES, AND OTHER VEHICLES WORKING, OR ON THE
ROADWAY. (THERE ARE GETTING TO BE TOO MANY YELLOW WARNING
LIGHTS ON THE HIGHWAY)
DUE TO THESE REASONS, AND THE UNDERLINING POTENTIAL FOR
INCREASED SAFETY FOR THE OFFICERS, OR AT LEAST A HEIGHTENED
AWARENESS OF OFFICERS AT THE SCENE, I AM REQUESTING WE
INSTALL THE BLUE LIGHTING TO THE RIGHT PASSENGER REAR SIDES
OF THE SQUAD CARS. I HAVE CHECKED INTO THE COSTS, AND IT
SHOULD BE UNDER $150.00. THANK YOU.
SINCERELY,

SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF P.B.T.
DEAR COUNCIL MEMBERS,
I AM WRITING TO REQUEST THE PURCHASE OF A NEW P.B.T.
(PORTABLE BREATH TESTER>. THROUGH THE SAFE & SOBER GRANT, I
CAN GET REIMBURSEMENT FOR HALF THE COST OF A NEW UNIT.
IN ST JOSEPH, WE USE THE P.B.T. QUITE FREQUENTLY, AS YOU
CAN WELL IMAGINE. WE CURRENTLY HAVE ONE UNIT THAT IS ALMOST
. 10 YEARS OLD. IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE ONE UNIT IN
EACH SQUAD. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE MANY TIMES WHEN TWO
UNITS WOULD BE HELPFUL. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN THERE ARE
SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO NEED TO BE TESTED. SUCH AS AT A PARTY, OR
DISTURBANCE CALL, OR A TRAFFIC STOP INVOLVING SEVERAL PEOPLE
OF UNDER AGE. AFTER YOU RUN A P.B.T. TEST, YOU MUST WAIT
SEVERAL MINUTES FOR THE UNIT TO RECYCLE, AND PURGE ITSELF IN
ORDER TO RUN ANOTHER TEST.
AGAIN, WE ONLY HAVE ONE UNIT, AND IT IS GETTING OLD.
THE TOTAL COST OF A NEW UNIT THROUGH THE MINNESOTA STATE BID
CONTRACT IS $334.Ø0. HALF OF THAT PRICE IS $167.00, AND IS A
GOOD DEAL TO OBTAIN THIS EQUIPMENT WE NEED. THANK YOU.

RE: Request for multi-way stop within the City of St. Joseph
Dear Rachel:
. The Stearns County Board considered your City's request for a multi-way stop at the
intersections of CSAH 2 (Minnesota Street) and 2nd Ave NW. An extensive study
of this intersection was conducted by our staff to provide background information for
. the County Board. I have enclosed a copy of information presented to them.
. The information I have enclosed indicates an improved accident history since the
current signing was installed. Also, this intersection does not meet the Minnesota
Manual and Uniform Traffic Control Devices Warrants for multi-way stops, and
studies have been done which show that stop signs installed with the idea of reducing
speed actually have the opposite effect in the area between the stop signs. Based
upon this information I recommended to the County Board that the request be denied.
Subsequently a motion was made by Commissioner Rose Arnold and seconded by
Commissioner Mark Salay to approve the City's request. This motion failed on a
two to two vote. Therefore, at this time this intersection will remain signed as it is
at present until such time as conditions would warrant installing multi-way stops.
I want to assure you that this department wishes to continue the close working
relationship we have had with you and your city in the past. I am sure that it
remains both of our goal to provide a safe and efficient transportation system for our
citizens in the future. -.

¡<AX 6]2-25105896 Our File No. 17,038
Dear Rachel:
MINN.EA..POLl5
2904 t'/ðz. VI! It is my understanding that the city Çouncil questioned
45 South S.vootl1 Slr~~t whether or not they could provide for a Park Board
MJnn<)l\pali~, MN 55402-1620 having a variable number of members (six to ten). The
· 612'339'9206 current Ordinance provides for seven memberS.
800'445'9617 ¡ have had a ohance to take a look at the governing
· FAX 61.2'Z51'5Sg6 statute, M.S.A. 412.50l. This statute provides that
the Park Board may oonsist of 3, 5, 7 or 9 members.
The city Council may select any of those four numbers,
either by resolution or ordinance. Once the size of
the Park Boarå is establisheã, any change in size must
FRANK}, RilJkOW.iKr . be approved by a two-thirds vote by the Council. No
GORDON H. HilNSMU£R change may occur for at least three years after the
f'RtDSR/CK L. GltUNKS Board is established.
TUOh1flS (;, JOVANOViC/; Therefore, we cannot establish a Park Bçarð with six to
lnHN Ii SCllc~CI~
PAU~ A. RilIKOIV:KI ten members. A specifio number of members has to be
stated and that number must be 3, 5, 7 or 9. If the
1\£\'10'1 F. GRo'\Y Council wants to ohange the number of members, it must
WiLLIAM J. CISH,\o{AN do so by a 2/3rd's majority vote and may not do so for
V.WIT) r, SHA\' three years after the Park Board is established. The
R/CI-MRV IV, SOþ/lt,-"RRO Ordinance was drafted in accordance with M.S.A.

Dear Council Members:
This is to inform you that the Minnesota Department of Health has nearly completed
development of the wellhead protection program. The objective of wellhead protection
is to protect public health by safeguarding the areas which contribute water to public wells
. from potential sources of groundwater contamination. It is expected that this program will
be implemented sometime in 1995 fol/owing promulgation of the state wellheåd protection
. rule.
We are enclosing a qqpy of the newsletter that we have developed for the wellhead
protection program. We will be sending you additional information about the wellhead
protection program on a regular basis through this newsletter. Also, we will send you a
copy of the wellhead protection rule when we have it ready for public review and
comment. ...
Because of the large number of public water suppliers in this state, it was necessary to
develop a ranking scheme for phasing public water supply systems into the program.
This scheme is based on the percentage of vulnerable wells in the system and the size
of the population served. Priority is also given to systems which serve children. Based
on information that exists in our database at this time, your system is ranked number 46
out of the 1,586 community and nontransient noncommunity systems in Minnesota which
rely on groundwater to serve their customers.
-
This ranking is subject to change should new information become-available regarding
your system. Information that could change your ranking includes data related to well
water quality. well construction, pumping rates, and population served. In addition, any
municipal system which adds a new well é;lfter the wellhead protection rule takes effect is
immediately brought into the program regardless of its position on the current list. We

St. Joseph City Council I

anticipate that for the next several years only municipalities which add a well to their
system or public water suppliers who voluntarily want to develop wellhead protection
plans will be brought into the wellhead protection program.
If you have any questions regarding your rariking for phasing into the wellhead protection
program, status of the wellhead protection rule, or any other aspects of wellhead
protection in Minnesota, please contact Mr. Bruce Olsen of my staff at (612) 627-5167.
