SOME NOTES OUT OF RECENT ROSEAU CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS:
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAYS THEY SERVED 960 ADULT MEALS AT THEIR ANNUAL BBQ THIS FALL. THAT BRINGS IN ROUGHLY $40,000, WITH ABOUT $33,000 THE EXPECTED NET.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS ALSO RECEIVING GRANT MONEY FROM OPERATION ROUNDUP FOR THERMAL IMAGERS.
SUPERINTENDENT PRZEKWAS PROPOSED A LETTER TO LANDLORDS AND PROPERTY MANAGERS TO MAKE SURE TENANTS HAVE ADEQUATE PARKING FOR THE WINTER IN PARKING LOTS SO THEY DO NOT NEED TO USE THE STREET DURING TIMES OF SNOW REMOVAL. IF THEY USE THE STREET BECAUSE PARKING IS NOT AVAILABLE, ANY TICKETS WOULD GO TO THE LANDLORD AND NOT THE TENANT.
HOWEVER, DUE TO CONERNS ABOUT UNIFORMITY BETWEEN THE CITY AND ROSEAU POLICE, THEY WANTED TO CONTINUE TO EXPLORE THAT AVENUE AT THEIR NOVEMBER MEETING.
MINNESOTA ENERGY RESOURCES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT ARE TEAMING UP TO HIGHLIGHT SCAM WARNINGS. IT’S A TIME OF YEAR WHERE HEATING ENERGY FOR THE HOME IS CRUCIAL, SOME FAMILIES MAY STRUGGLE WITH PAYING THEIR BILL ON TIME, AND SCAMMERS KNOW IT. THEY MAY SPOOF THE CALLER ID TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A CALL IS COMING FROM MINNESOTA ENERGY, DEMAND IMMEDIATE PAYMENT, OR THREATEN A SHUTOFF IN A VERY SHORT PEROID OF TIME. CALL MINNESOTA ENERGY OR YOUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT IF YOU FEEL YOU’VE BEEN TARGETED BY A SCAM.
THE BOATING DEATH ON LAKE OF THE WOODS IN MID-OCTOBER THAT TOOK THE LIFE OF A MAN FROM CHASKA HAS BEEN DEEMED A DROWNING. THE BOAT HAD CAPSIZED. A WOMAN FROM COLORADO DID SURVIVE THAT EVENT.
