POLICY H4 <br />12/14/05 <br />• ITEM: Approval of Lauderdale Fire Contract <br />SUBMITTED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator <br />REVIEWED BY: Roger Knutson, City Attorney <br />Brian Bakken-Heck, City Administrator, Lauderdale <br />EXPLANATION: <br />Summary: Since approximately 1980, the City of Falcon Heights has provided fire services to the City of <br />Lauderdale under contract. This contract language has not been updated since 1996, and staff from both <br />cities reviewed the contract language earlier this fall, and made recommendations to both city councils <br />regarding needed changes. <br />Specifically, two major changes were made to the existing agreement. First, the amended contract <br />includes a provision for Lauderdale to pay for a portion of capital costs for equipment, including fire <br />trucks, based on their share of the overall fire department budget; and the addition of two appendixes to <br />the agreement that outline the fee schedule and the capital share issue. The fee schedule also reflects cost <br />of living increases for call out pay. <br />Lauderdale's City Council approved the contract at their last council meeting. <br />• ATTACHMENT: <br />Amended contract for fire services <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Approval of contract to provide fire services to the City of Lauderdale <br /> <br />27 <br />~CHG02:40069922.v1 ~9/28/OS 11:33 AM <br />
