Part of that grant was to provide all businesses with a lock box to be used for <br />emergency situations. The majority of local businesses welcomed the program with few <br />exceptions. Legal actions are pending on one business manager-details are being kept <br />confidential pending that action. The issue before the City now is that they calmot re-key the <br />boxes and be sure that they have a unique key. The City currently has about $17,000 into the <br />lock boxes and they cannot return them. <br /> <br />Chief Kapler presented a lock box that is used by the City of Coon Rapids for the Board to <br />consider. <br /> <br />Chairperson Anderson inquired if it would be tolerable for the City to have two different types of <br />lock boxes. <br /> <br />Chief Kapler replied that it would be his suggestion to remove all of the existing lock boxes. <br /> <br />Public Safety Board/January 16, 2003 <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
