Hi Team, Please find the email from our students.
Hello Scott,
In reference to your email to our coach in November, about the problem faced in the city of Medina. We Middle school
students chose how to better secure the concession stand at Hamel Legion Park. However all the problems were really
challenging. We found that we could easily and quickly do the concession stand. Our team is middle school students
(grades 6 and 7) from near by school districts.
In order to come up with the solution to the problem we looked various aspects.
What does it cost to have a Security Monitoring service
Why other products that are available could not be used.
Cost of the services and comparable products.
So, we did a lot of research and came up with the prototype for our product. "Concession Stand Security Sytem" and our
product has lot of benefits.
1. Very Low starting cost.
2. Durable will work in a wide range, covering almost 50 feet or more.
3. Self monitored (via alerts to cell phone)
4. No dedicated monitoring required, no more recurring costs
5. Replacement Parts easily available
6. Expandable.
We really appreciate your feedback and help in making a working product for the city.
Pictures of our prototype attached.

Subject:Hwy 55 BRT Meeting -- NEW DATE
Hello Hwy 55 BRT members,
Thank you for your patience! Slight change of plans since my last email. In order to ensure that as many interested
parties are available for this next discussion as possible, we have decided to combine this meeting with Commissioner
Fernando's plans for a meeting as well.
The next meeting will take place on Monday, January 27th from 8:00am‐9:00am at Plymouth City Hall (3400 Plymouth
Blvd, Plymouth, MN 55447). The meeting will be in the first conference room when you walk in the main entrance.
We hope that this meeting and location will provide a closer meeting spot for most to get to, and will no longer interfere
with Senate Metro bonding tours.
Bill Emory will be in touch closer to the meeting with a finalized agenda. If you have any materials you wish to be
distributed at this meeting, please send them to Bill and myself.
Thank you all,
Megan V. Arriola, J.D. (she/her/hers*)
