Staff [01:31]Authorize City Manager to Execute Cooperative Agreement for Joint Community Police Partnership (JCP)

no. I think this is a great initiative. Um. And I'm grabbing coffee with, um, council member Heidi Garrido from Hopkins because she's got some great, um, insight on the program and the successes it's brought for Hopkins, because I noticed there are some partner cities as well here in the metro area that are also participating in the program. So overall, I'm super supportive of this initiative.

Councilmember Rhonda [02:37]Authorize City Manager to Execute Cooperative Agreement for Joint Community Police Partnership (JCP)

I did have just a brief question in terms of the, um, the cooperative agreement. Um, I'm wondering if is there a written copy of an agreement that the council could review? I know that there wasn't. Um, the memo is great and gives a highlight for, um, what the program successes are. Um, I would love to see the agreement itself if if that's possible, but other than that, I don't have any other questions. And I am supportive of the program.

And I mean, I guess just to be clear, I mean, I'm questioning some of the dollar amounts stuff here, but. And budget. But, uh, but I'm very supportive of a new playground. Uh, and I think this is a good idea.

Councilmember Greenberg [06:50]Authorize Staff to Execute an Agreement with Midwest Playscape to Acquire and Install Playground Equipment at Sanborn Park

The Parks Fund is, um, balanced by way of forecasting long term expenditures. This, as an example, would be a significant thing towards that fund. So year over year. Um, we may dedicate more projects in public works or utilities or that type of thing. Um, but what we aim to do, not just for the Parks fund, but for all funds that go after projects like this, um, utilize, uh, in a, um, a steady increase. So we're not seeing significant jumps from year to year.

the condition of the playground currently is, is dire. And I worry, you know, with that slide being split, what happens when something else breaks and God forbid, you know, if somebody gets injured. And so, um, clearly needs to be replaced.

I'm pleased to see residents wanting to participate in this evening because whiz bang Nash and light out the meet and greet, they we've got the, um. I'm drawing a blank on the name of it, but it's on Saturday with the fire and RPD. Safety. Public safety is probably a good name for it. Um, it just kind of a fun series of events that are coming up, bringing community together. So these are really some great days ahead of us in Robbinsdale.

I was so moved to deal National Night Out. They still taking us the donations. They told a lot of guys. I know that. I guess they could use a little more.

Councilmember [18:04]Approval of Block Party Requests for National Night Out & Street Closures

I guess we might not have local results. So maybe this is actually not necessary, but I'm not thinking about that right now. Um, if we need to cancel it, I'll let you know.
