Heights. Explore the amenities your city has to offer while enjoying
the great outdoors!
City parks are open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. In order to allow
everyone the most enjoyable experience without conflicting with the
rights of fellow park users and neighboring residents, we ask every-
one's cooperation in abiding by the posted

Recreational Fires
In 1998, the City Council passed an c
nance change regarding recreational fire per-
mits. You may have a recreational fire with-
out obtaining a permit from the city. You
must, however, comply with the following
regulations:
• Fires must be extinguished within
three hours after they are started, but
not later than 11:00 p.m.
• Use clean and dry wood only (no re-
fuse, grass, leaves, logs over 3 in di-
ameter, paper, garbage or other com-
bustibles.
• The size of the fire cannot be more
than three feet in diameter, and flames
must not reach a height in excess of
three feet.
• No fire shall be within twenty feet of
any building or structure
• A means of extinguishment must be
in the immediate area of the fire.
• No fire shall be started or maintained
in dry conditions or winds over 15
MPH.
• Prior notice must be given to the p,
lic safety dispatcher, at 450-1111, one
hour before the fire is ignited.
• Recreational fires must be constantly
attended by a competent person until
the fire has been completely extin-
guished.
The Fire Chief or his representative is
authorized to prohibit, suspend, or further
restrict all fires should atmospheric, drought,
wind, state or local circumstance or condi-
tions warrant or dictate such action. Viola-
tion of any of these regulations may result in
the issuance of a citation. If you have any
questions regarding these regulations, please
call Fire Marshal Paul Kaiser at 452-1850.

Help Reduce Theft from Auto in Our City
Parks
With the return of nice weather we are seeing a large increase in the number of residents
visiting our city parks. The increase in park usage means increased thefts from vehicles.
Thieves tend to target park areas because visitors often leave purses, wallets and other valuable
in their automobiles. Thieves usually work in parks during daytime hours when they are the
most crowded. From an inconspicuous place, they watch vehicles enter the parking area and
they then watch the owners place valuables under seats and in trunks. Once the owners are
out of sight, the thief approaches the vehicle, smashes the window and grabs the valuables.
A typical "smash and grab" takes less than 10 seconds. The cost to a victim of a car break in
is approximately $1000.00. This includes replacing windows, which are commonly broken
out, as well as replacement costs of the purses and wallets and the cash contained within. This
does not begin to cover the expense of the merchandise that is purchased with the forged credit
cards and checks taken in these thefts.
There are a few simple steps that park visitors can take to minimize the opportunities for
auto thieves to strike in our parks. First and most important, NEVER leave valuables anywhere
in your vehicle when it is unattended. This includes under seats, in glove boxes and in trunks.
If you don't plan to keep a purse or wallet with you, leave it with someone you trust or secure
it back at home before you leave. Second, take note of any suspicious persons around the
parking area or in wooded areas adjacent to parking lots. Also, immediately report any
suspicious persons or activities to the Police by dialing 911. Always take note of the license
plates of suspicious vehicles and the descriptions of suspicious persons and pass these on to
the Police Dispatcher.
The Mendota Heights Police Department is asking for your cooperation in stopping auto
thieves in our parks. Please be extra vigilant while in or around parks this summer. With
everyone's help we can make visiting our parks a safer and more enjoyable experience for
all.
Community Action
Council
Community Action Council (CAC) made
an informational presentation to the City
Council at their April 17 meeting. CAC is a
non profit agency that works in partnership
with individuals, families, volunteers,
schools, churches, service organizations and
cities to help our neighborhoods stay strong
and healthy. Their motto is "In the spirit of
caring for our neighborhoods, Community
Action Council provides support to people
and communities to prevent violence, ensure
school success and promote long-term eco-
nomic self sufficiency." Their services in-
clude battered women's shelters, domestic
violence intervention, sexual assault services
and violence prevention education. They
also provide a number of neighborhood and
community services including: family sup-
port, neighborhood services, child care re-
sources and referrals, no interest family
loans, income tax services and a holiday gift
program. Community Action Council also
focuses on community education, providing
educational programs and presentations to
ools, businesses and other organizations.
he CAC crisis line phone number is 651-
452-7466. The sexual assault hotline number
is 651-405-1500. To contact CAC for more
information or to schedule an informational
presentation, please call 651-452-7466.

DOG GONE?
Is your dog allowed outside of your yard
without supervision? City staff routinely re-
ceive complaints about wandering dogs.
Your pet is very special to you, but unsuper-
vised dogs can be very intimidating to others.
City ordinances are specific about the re-
sponsibilities of dog owners. Your dog must
be controlled by a leash not exceeding six
feet in length unless it is within a vehicle
being driven or parked on the public streets
or if it is within the property limits of your
premises. Dogs must also be licensed annu-
ally. The license year runs from June through
May, and the $6.00 annual fee is reduced to
$3.00 for spayed/neutered dogs.
Please protect your dog by licensing it and
recognize your neighbors' rights by keeping
your dog on a leash or confined to your
property.
NEIGHBORHOOD ATTRACTIONS
Mendota Heights is a community to be
proud of, and that pride shows in every
neighborhood. Now that summer is nearly
here and we are outside more often, perhaps
it's time to take a closer look at what's being
stored in our yards. City Ordinances set
guidelines for what is permissible. Compli-
ance with the guidelines ensures attractive
neighborhood environments. Non-compli-
ance often attracts the attention of the City's
code enforcement staff.
Unlicensed cars and car parts, including
tires, are not allowed in your yard unless they
are screened from public view. Recreational
vehicles, such as campers boats, snowmo-
biles and trailers, may only be placed in the
rear yard or on one side of your lot. They may
not, however, be stored in any portion of the
yard adjacent to a street.
A recurring source of complaints is wood-
piles. You may legally store one cord of
wood (4' by 4' by 8') in your yard. Obvi-
ously, an accumulation of garbage is not
permissible, but sometimes other objection-
able items are overlooked, such as left over
construction materials, brush, appliances
and similar debris. Please, take a look at your
yard through your neighbors' eyes and re-
move any unsightly debris.
Fences are often taken for granted. When
they are not maintained, the whole neighbor-
hood can look neglected. A new coat of paint
and some minor repairs could make a big
difference in your property's appearance.
Trees, shrubs and bushes are also taken for
granted. If allowed to grow out of control,
they can become a real hazard. Sometimes
they grow to a point where they block the
view of intersections, endangering both ve-
hicular and pedestrian traffic. Owners of cor-
ner lots should regularly check and trim any
overgrowth that obstructs the view of signs
or street intersections.
These guidelines were adopted years ago
to ensure the enhanced appearance and
safety of our community. Adherence to the
guidelines will be appreciated by the City,
and, more importantly, by your neighbors.
Relay for Life Approaches
Plans for the American Cancer Society Re-
lay for Life of Mendota Heights are under-
way. The Relay will take place at the St.
Thomas Academy track on August 10-11.
Relay for Life is an overnight event where
teams of 8-12 people walk around a track all
night to raise money to fight cancer. At least
one member of each team must be circling
the track at all times. All money raised funds
American Cancer Society research, educa-
tion, advocacy and patient services.
If you are interested in forming a team,
volunteering on the event planning commit-
tee or learning more about the event, please
call Cori at the American Cancer Society
952-925-6311 or Barb Howell at 651-457-
4548.
