CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 3A <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Karlson <br />MEETING DATE: June 9, 2014 <br />TOPIC: Services Agreement with Milo Bennett <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The Council is being asked to approve a services agreement between the City and Milo <br />Bennett, the former fire chief for the Centennial Fire District. <br />BACKGROUND <br />In the process of working with Springsted on its fire department analysis, Mayor Reinert <br />invited Milo Bennett to a fire committee meeting to get his feedback on certain aspects of the <br />study. After meeting with Mr. Bennett, it was apparent that he would be an excellent resource <br />for the City of Lino Lakes if the Council decided to create an independent fire department. Mr. <br />Bennett has decades of experience in the fire service, including 18 years as CFD's fire chief. <br />He also provided consulting services to Oak Grove several years ago. <br />Mr. Bennett's services would be most valuable in the following areas: <br />1. Determining what fire apparatus and equipment are needed from CFD's current assets. <br />2. Developing standard operating procedures and policies. <br />3. Assisting with the purchase of new or used fire apparatus. <br />4. Providing professional expertise as the City explores the ongoing maintenance and <br />support requirements that come with a fire depai hnent. <br />This list is not complete, but provides a general description of the areas where Mr. Bennett's <br />expertise would be beneficial. <br />I drafted a services agreement between the City and Milo Bennett for your consideration. The <br />hourly rate would be $60. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Approve the Services Agreement between the City of Lino Lakes and Milo Bennett. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Services Agreement between the City of Lino Lakes and Milo Bennett <br />
