Last evening we took action at the city council meeting to request a grant from DEEDS in the amount of $750,000. Our new city admin - Doug Reeder, was alerted to the possibility of this grant - and after researching the viability and possibility of getting it, has taken the necessary steps to acquire it.
At a recent Public Safety Advisory Committee - a Committee that I chaired for 2 years - votes unanimously to recommend attempting to secure this grant. The Council representatives to the Committee are Rick Weber and Allan Lindquist.
Last night - the vote at the Council was 3-2 - with Lindquist and Hartkopf voting against. I am still scratching my head on this one.
You all thought the overwhelming response on behalf of the city survey in support of the current structure of the Osseo Police Department was enough to convince Lindquist and Hartkopf that they residents wished for this to continue.
Mr Weber, Poppe and myself have been fighting to keep our budget and investments at a consistant level with long term growth in mind. Apparently they others still wish to take away Police Dept.
I stand behind my homepage post regarding my support of the Osseo way of life, and desire it to be a safe place to live well into the future.
I would appreciate your VOTE in November.
