that there are no certificates of indebtedness outstanding. Councilmember Cavegn stated <br /> that he would only be in favor of using those aid dollars for one-time cost expenses, not <br /> capital. Councilmember Ruhland concurred with Councilmember Cavegn. <br /> General discussion was held on the incoming public safety aid funds. <br /> Catherine Decker, 614 Pine Street, asked of some transfers noted on the budget. Director <br /> Lynch advised she would look into the questions. <br /> Christopher Stowe, 425 Pine, inquired of the water treatment values and costs noted in the <br /> budget. He wanted to know where the differing numbers were coming from and also if <br /> houses to be served by the plant would be the only ones taxed. <br /> 4. Public Safety Quarterly Update <br /> Public Safety Director John Swenson provided a review of third quarter public safety statistics. <br /> Discussion was held on the possibility of introduction of a mental health professional to <br /> address an increase in calls which are not necessarily a public safety matter but a mental <br /> health matter. Director Swenson advised that one consideration which may be brought <br /> before Council would be a shared contract position with Centennial Lakes and Spring Lake <br /> Park police departments via a vendor, Canvas Health. <br /> Director Swenson also mentioned planning and preparedness for a large-scale emergency <br /> event. He suggested that the City work to better prepare staff and elected officials for a future <br /> emergency. He proposed further conversations about emergency planning as well as future <br /> training. <br /> Director Swenson also provided an update on staffing in police and fire. <br /> 5. Part-Time Fire Compensation Plan <br /> Human Resources and Communications Manager Meg Sawyer advised that staff is proposing <br /> an adjustment to the part-time fire compensation plan based on direction from Council at <br /> the October work session to review similarly situated cities and to reevaluate the position <br /> description with the assistance of the City's compensation consultant. The results of the <br /> reevaluation of the position has resulted in a staff recommendation to regrade the position <br /> to grade 130 of the Lino Lakes compensation plan; the position is currently graded at 110. <br /> She added that a$53,340 budget impact will be seen in 2024 if Council would choose to adopt <br /> staff's recommendation to adjust the grade from 110 to 130. A formal request to adopt the <br /> change will be presented at the next regular meeting. <br /> Discussion was held on the change in grade and pay equity. <br /> Finance Director Hannah Lynch also asked that Council provide direction for budget <br /> reductions to balance the 2024 budget as the tax levy for 2024 cannot be further increased. <br />
