2 793 <br />Mr. Jorrison I think that if I have to turn around and kick out three competent <br />1I~19 Hoyt men due to the fact it's going to cost us another half a mi~.1` <br /> which is a $1.6t~, I think it is pretty ridiculous. Do you <br />know what our Fire Insurance is going to go up if we kick out <br /> the three regulars? $10.00 a year. <br />Mr. Ecklund <br />Councilman kthere did you get that figure? <br />Mr. Jorrison Where did I get my figure? That's my business, I don't have <br /> to answer to you. <br />Mr. Ecklund The proper agency which determines fire rating has told us that <br />Councilman not having paid men would not necessarily affect our classification. <br /> Having radios might more than off set any advantage paid men may <br /> have as far as classification is concerned due to increased <br /> efficiency. <br />Jerry Baden The department has asked for radios for the department every <br /> year since 1952 or 1953• <br />Mr. White Falcon Heights has got a good Fire Department and I second <br />1760 N. Albert Harold Nilsen's motion that we keep our Fire Department. <br />Harold Nilsen I am sorry rir. White, I did not make a motion to that affect or <br /> anything like that. I said I was concerned about two things. <br /> Chze, that we don't go back to a class 7 rating and I'm concerned <br /> about the speed of calls. <br />Stan Schultz I'm one of the full-time paid men and come February I'll have <br />16 years of service for the Village of Falcon Heights. I=`don't <br /> agree with at~y of the things that Mr. Ecklund brought up as far <br /> as radios or anything else. I'd like to explain what one man can do. <br /> I have three fires in mind that I took care of all by myself and I <br /> think that by being there right away that I was able to extinguish <br /> these fires and not have to call out 18 to 22 men. I think what <br /> you people are doing here is you're destroying the protection of the <br /> community and whether my job is involved or not is immaterial. <br />Donald Shannon I would agree with these folks who have spoken about putting <br />1990 Tatum St quality of service first and I'd like to give a few figures here <br />on amount of insurance costs. A person who has a $20,000 home <br />who has a home owners policy would be compelled to carry <br />80 percent of replacement cost for $17,500 to avoid becoming a <br />coinsurer. With a change in the Fire Department he migrit readily <br />increase his insurance about $1000.00 at least and to da so he <br />would pay $2.1x0 a year for that extra $1000 insurance. Or <br />if he got real jittery and insured up to the full $20,000 on <br />that home he would then be paying about $6 per year more. <br />We who are living here and find security in our home are rather <br />inclined to let things stay as they are, at least that would be <br />my opinion. <br />Dale Bergstedt Ire only lived in the Village six years so I haven't partaken <br />1659 Mapleknoll in a lot of this past history that I hear about back in the early <br />50's, but T am quite conscious of the excellent job that the <br />Council of this Village has done in the last aix years. This relates <br />to the men who have served in this period and I want to thank <br />Norman Ecklund for the job he has done in preparing this analysis <br />of the situation, weighing everything in the balance that should <br />
