<br />WS – Item 1 <br /> <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item 1 <br /> <br /> <br />Date: August 24, 2020 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: John Swenson, Public Safety Director <br /> <br />Re: Fire Services <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />City Administrator Sarah Cotton and Public Safety Director John Swenson were <br />informed that the Centennial Fire District (CFD) has contracted with the consulting firm <br />of Fitch & Associates to evaluate fire services delivery. As part of this process <br />neighboring jurisdictions were requested to meet with the consultants to discuss the CFD <br />fire services study. <br /> <br />On Wednesday, August 12th Administrator Cotton and Director Swenson, met with the <br />consultants. Staff provided the consultants an overview of our fire service delivery <br />model and informed the consultant that staff has not received any direction from the Lino <br />Lakes City Council to engage in any discussion with surrounding communities regarding <br />fire services. <br /> <br />During the 2021 Budget Work Session on August 19th with Council, the CFD’s fire <br />services study was brought up for discussion but no Council direction was given to staff <br />regarding Lino Lakes participation in this fire study. <br /> <br />Staff has received a motion and second to add Fire Service to the City Council Work <br />Session agenda for August 24th. <br /> <br />Staff is seeking Council direction on this matter. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />
