Sullivan responded that the increase in the number of officers <br />from 15 to 16 this year will assist in offsetting the added hours It was also stated that <br />with the replacement of Lt. Fitzler with Officer Boris, the hours Boris works at the <br />school during the school year can be transferred to work on the street during the summer <br />months. <br />Jabbour voiced the concern that Council Member Kelley has had in the past, and agrees <br />with, that the true cost of the additional hours for Minnetonka Beach be passed on to that <br />city. Sullivan said that he looked at the two officer coverage in Long Lake, calculated <br />the cost on an hourly basis, and will charge that amount to Minnetonka Beach with no <br />discount. <br />ZONING ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT <br />(«) #1979 RICHARD LITTLE, 1890 SHADYWOOD ROAD - VARIANCES - <br />RESOLUTION #3544 <br />Mr. & Mrs. Little were present. <br />This application is for variances in the average lakeshore setback, lakeshore setback, and <br />hardcover in the 0-75* with the reconstruction of a 14x26' deck.
