Columbia Heights City Council expresses opposition to County drone launch

The Columbia Heights City Council unanimously approved a resolution Oct. 26 opposing Anoka County’s first responder drone program. The resolution states that the program was enacted without meaningful consultation with cities, after officials said they had been promised an opportunity to opt out but were not given a process to do so. The move comes as Anoka County moves forward with a pilot program involving Flock Safety automated license plate readers and drones that can be deployed to emergency calls. Mayor Amáda Márquez Simula, reading the resolution at the meeting, said the city’s concerns involved municipal consent, public transparency, privacy and management of data collected through law enforcement technology. The city recognized that the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office has the authority to deploy drones throughout the county, including within Columbia Heights, and that the city might not have the legal ability to opt out. Simula expressed disappointment that the county had told cities they could opt out without providing a clear process for doing so. She also cited concerns over data retention, access, sharing and security, particularly following the presence of outside law enforcement agencies such as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the city. “The city believes that permanent

Minnesota's Scenic Wetlands Escape Under An Hour From Minneapolis Is A Beauty With Hiking And Wildlife

Throughout the year, but especially during the spring and fall migration, Minnesotans can look to the sky and spot Canada geese flying in the familiar V-shaped formation. But it wasn't always like that. In fact, at the turn of the 20th century, the population shrank because of dwindling wetland habitats and a lack of hunting regulations. Thanks in part to the breeding efforts of Carlos Avery Game Farm, a subsection of the Carlos Avery State Wildlife Management Area (WMA), the geese and other game bird populations were restored. Today, visitors can stop by the WMA for a chance to spot the large birds and one of the nearly 250 other avian species reported here.
