<br /> <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Mayor Keis and Members of the City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br /> <br />DATE: January 8, 2016 <br /> <br />RE: 2016 Temporary Fire Contract Renewal <br /> <br /> <br />Attached is the proposed contract with the Little Canada Fire Department for the first two months of <br />2016. This temporary arrangement is proposed to allow us time to further review the Fire <br />Department’s request to remove the language in Provision #9 whereby they agree to contribute 50% of <br />the Charitable Gambling proceeds to the Fire Equipment Fund. As you know, they have requested the <br />removal of this language to give them more flexibility in funding other improvements to the property <br />they are contemplating. Staff is proposing that we approve this temporary extension to provide time <br />for the Long Range Planning Committee to discuss this in greater detail and then bring a <br />recommendation back to the Council at our second February meeting. <br /> <br />The Fire Department has not formally approved this document as of this date but they have conducted <br />a preliminary review. Here are the other key changes to the document: <br /> <br />• Revised quarterly payments to approved 2016 budget ($331,190). Note: This payment does <br />not include the contingency amount reflected in their budget request which is how this had <br />been handled in previous years. <br />• Added language that states any equipment bought with City Capital Improvement Fund dollars <br />would revert to the City should the FD cease to provide service to us (similar to how we handle <br />past vehicle purchases. <br />• Added language as noted above to allow for further discussion on the Fire Equipment Fund <br />contribution. <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of the contract as presented. <br /> <br />cc: LCFD <br />
