He has concerns about the voting authority versus the 66 funding authority as it occurs through that agreement. The City of Lino Lakes is required to pay more 67 than70 percent of the costs of operation and, looking to the future, that amount will undoubtedly 68 continue to grow. He explained the amendment that he is proposing to the agreement that would 69 essentially give the city a form of veto power which he thinks is very appropriate considering the 70 city’s funding role. That amendment was presented to the fire district steering group that includes 71 representatives from the three cities included in the district –Lino Lakes, Centerville and Circle 72 Pines. He noted that the amendment would require approval of all three cities and the question was 73 asked as to why the other cities shouldn’t have the same veto power proposed for Lino lakes; his 74 answer to that is why not. The mayor said he believes the proposed amendment would make the 75 agreement stronger. He announced that he would be happy to hear from citizens who have any 76 questions or opinions on the matter. 77 78 Council Member O’Donnell moved to approve the amendment to the Centennial Fire District Joint 79 Powers Agreement as follows: Revise Section 2.6 of the Agreement by adding the following 80 language at the end of paragraph one: “However, passage of a motion shall requirean affirmative 81 vote from one member of each member city.” Council Member Roeser seconded the motion.
