Public Safety & Traffic Committee
Robert Mollecl~ Chairman
Chief Stanko provided a written monthly report of activities for the fire department. He
said that the annual pump and hose testing has been completed. The new rescue engine
has arrived and will be equipped to go into service in approximately 3 weeks.
Chief Edwards provided a written monthly report of activities for the police department.
He presented a written report on a new program the department has been working on at
the request of school officials. The program is a "Partnership to Reduce Impaired
Student Motorists" (P.R.LS.M.). After checking with other agencies the preferred
program consists of classroom instruction and hands-on "experience" of impairment
simulated through the use of fatal vision glasses. The project would be a cooperative
effort between the police, school district and others. Chief Edwards said he would like to
start this program this fall beginning with the seniors and then offer it on a regular basis
to students entering the driver's ed program. Initial start up costs with all new equipment
would be $15,000. Grant money is not available at this time so a program with used
items could start the project until funding is available. This could be done with
approximately $2,000. The money would come from donations from businesses and
organizations. Chief Edwards asked to have the committee's approval of the project and
authorize the department to solicit donations. A Motion was made by Alderman
Meade, seconded by Alderman Carl to approve the P.R.I.S.M. Project and the
solicitation of donations for the funding. Voice vote, motion carried.

Lake Buildings & Grounds Committee
Les Carl, Chairman
Canton resident Mr. Lloyd Klindworth addressed the committee regarding his concerns
about the tax increases received on his recent tax bill. He asked the committee to find a
way to economize. He also discussed the problems with siltation of the lake and the
erosion of the land adjacent to the lake as well as what he perceived to be the causes. He
suggested the committee look at increases in the price of the leased lake lots and
increases in boat license, which would help pay for the road repairs at the lake. He
further stated that he would like to see the City generate additional money in ways other
than through taxes. Alderman Carl thanked Mr. Klindworth for presenting his opinions.

hearing for the expansion of the Enterprise Zone to accommodate the new Ethanol Plant
