2. Matter of future of car pound.
Chief Paschke reported that Acme purchased land where car pound located, and City has been leasing from Acme at cost of $400/mo. He reported that some time ago Mark Lambrecht received letter from Acme, that Acme would continue leasing to the City, however, at a cost of $1,000/mo. because of taxes, etc., provided that City did some cosmetic things (fence area be filled in with slats, etc.) He stated that police department likes that location because of amount of traffic, that there is a 2-stall garage there which belongs to the City and where they house bikes (up to 250 bikes/year). He reported there had been a meeting with John O'Leary, Mark Lambrecht, Charles Grotte, Capt. McCarthy and himself. Mr. Grotte reported that they discussed options: different locations, privatization, etc.; and need approval of $1,000/mo. lease as opposed to $400/mo lease. He stated they are looking at other options, will try to develop as soon as possible, but probably not until summer (area would require fencing, lighting, etc.) He stated they don't necessarily agree with cosmetic changes at Acme location because they hope to move from that location.
