The Anoka City Council on Monday is expected to authorize plans for a new building to house a police training space and an animal containment facility.
Although residents and the five-member council appear to support the law enforcement training center that would include a six-lane, 50-yard shooting range, not everyone sees the need for a new kennel to house stray animals picked up off the streets.
The council narrowly approved the $3.5 million project in a 3-2 vote at its March 15 meeting. Those who cast the no votes objected to the cost, pointing out the city already has a pound in a new maintenance building. A measure to build only the law enforcement portion of the project failed 3-2.
