Hanson <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Pursuant to Council directive, the Mayor and I met with the <br />Fire Department to develop a proposed Vehicular Purchasing <br />Policy. The Fire Department's Board of Directors has <br />reviewed the policy and made some recommended changes. The <br />Fire Chief and I have finalized these changes which has <br />resulted in the proposed policy attached. It is my opinion <br />that this policy addresses the concerns of the City Council <br />and provides the necessary assurances for the Fire <br />Department regarding City support for their actions. It <br />will serve to enhance the exchange of information between <br />our two organizations as well as guarantee accountability <br />to our taxpayers. <br />This policy only deals with vehicular purchases. The Fire <br />Chief and I will also be preparing a policy dealing with <br />other capital expenditures in addition to making <br />modifications to our contract language to address issues of <br />mutual concern. When all three components are completed, <br />it is my opinion that we will have the basis for an <br />excellent relationship between the Fire Department and the <br />City to ensure that our residents are provided with the <br />appropriate degree of fire protection service in addition <br />to providing accountability for the expenditure of their <br />tax dollars. <br />Therefore, it is my recommendation that the proposed policy <br />be adopted as presented. Should you have any comments or <br />questions regarding this matter, please let me know. <br />JRH:kpv <br />Enclosures <br />Page 1 <br />
