Real Talk with Rick Podcast: Farewell to the Chief
The latest episode on Real Talk with Rick featured recently retired Eden Prairie Police Chief Jim DeMann. In this episode, I chat with former Chief DeMann about a few of his memories from his 31 years with the Department, the start of his career with K-9 Champ, and his favorite cop movie.

Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
The Monday, Nov. 5, Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission meeting has been canceled.

Fall Into Fitness
The Community Center held its annual Fall Into Fitness event Saturday, Oct. 6. This event showcased new and existing fitness class offerings offered in a short, scheduled format so participants could test out multiple programs. The standard $29 membership enrollment fee was waived during the event and 53 new memberships were opened, nine more than last year.

Parks and Recreation Baseball team under the lights
On Thursday, a baseball team of 9-year-olds was scheduled to practice for their first time under the lights but the practice was canceled due to poor field conditions. The team was so excited they decided to play anyway on a different field. City staff was able to accommodate a light request on short notice and the kids had a blast!

The City received this note from a parent:

“Thank you so much! You made some nine-year-olds' dreams come true. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
