NATIONAL BURGLARY PREVENTION MONTH
The month of June 1980 is National Bur -
glary Prevention Month. The Eagan Po-
lice Department would like to call upon
all Eagan residents to aid and assist
their neighbors and the Eagan Police
Department by doing all that is possi-
ble to prevent, detect and report un-
usual persons and /or vehicles seen in
their neighborhoods, thereby reducing
the crime of burglary.
Eagan Police Officers will meet with
any group of residents, home owner's
associations or other groups to explain
what should be done to prevent or re-
duce burglaries and other crimes in
their neighborhoods. Residents are the
best crime detectors and preventors
through using their eyes and ears and
relaying unusual information to the
Police Department.

Before going on vacation, please:
Alert the police and close neigh-

PARATRANSIT PROGRAM
The Cities of Apple Valley, Burnsville,
Eagan, Lakeville and Savage have
joined together to form a task force, on
energy and are currently studying the
potential of a Paratransit System to
serve Northern Dakota and Eastern Scott
Counties.
Paratransit offers an alternative to
exclusive use of the automobile for
mobility. The primary purpose of para-
transit is to improve the internal circu-
lation within a sub - region by providing
a mixed fleet of vehicles .including
buses, vans, taxis and autos; flexible
routes; and shared ride services to ex-
press terminals on fixed routes to em-
ployment and retail centers. Special
services to handicapped and elderly in-
dividuals would be included. •
The Cities' interest in this project is
shared by the Metropolitan Council, ` and
work on this proposal by the five com-
munities : and the Metro Council will con-
tinue through the summer.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Eagan Capital Improvement Program
will be a comprehensive list of major
improvements necessary to meet the
eds of the community over the next
e years ( 1981 -1985) . This list is pre -
sently being prepared through compiling
the project needs requested by the
various City departments. The Capital
Improvements Program, including the
" proposed scheduling of projects by
year, estimated cost, and justification
for each improvement, will be taken to
the City Council for their deliberation.
A "Capital Improvement" is defined as
a major expenditure of public funds,
beyond maintenance and operating
costs, for the acquisition or con-
struction of a needed facility. Sala-
ries, supplies, and other overhead ex-
penditures are considered maintenance
and operating cost and are provided
for in the annual budgetary process.
Improvements or acquisitions of a perma-
nent nature representing a long-term
investment may be considered Capital
Improvements
Every year the Capital Improvements
Agogram will be revised, updated and
tended for one year. The Capital. Im-
provements Program provides a "bridge"
between the ` City's long -range plans
and its annual budget deliberations.
CABLE TV
The City of Eagan is in the initial
stages of considering .a Cable Television
system. The City Council is . planning
to appoint a Cable Television Committee
to investigate the feasibility of plan-
ning a Cable Service for Eagan.
DAKOTA COUNTY LIBRARY UPDATE

mel, Green and Abrahamson, Inc., has

brary System to design the new main
