1 <br />1 <br />BUDGET MEETING <br />October 6, 1986 <br />Page Three <br />the excess monies to fund these issues. He explained that <br />the Fire Department is going to take the money in the 1987 <br />budget and fully gear up the two existing fire stations. <br />He does not see the need for this City to pay $40,000.00 <br />to enlarge a fire station that will not be utilized in 1987. <br />Surface Water Management Plan <br />Mr. Schumacher explained this was his number one priority. <br />If this is not implemented this City will experience con- <br />tinuing and more expensive water run off problems. The <br />RCWD is preparing the 901.surface water management plan <br />for the district; however, if this City adopts a plan of <br />their own and it is approved by RCWD, then the City does <br />not have to go to RCWD for their approval on subdivisions <br />and we can manage our own storm water. The RCWD plan is <br />only a general plan. The City plan would be a comprehen- <br />sive plan for the entire City. Mr. Bohjanen asked if the <br />plan could be completed in steps. Mr. Schumacher explained <br />the mapping alone would cost about $7,000.00. Mr. Reinert <br />was concerned that the planning be coordinated with RCWD <br />and other entities. Mr. Schumacher said that the Lino <br />Lakes plan would be in with RCWD overall plan. RCWD will <br />not assist Lino Lakes in developing its own internal plan. <br />Warning Sirens <br />Mr. Volk has been looking at sirens that will cost about <br />$13,000.00 each and cover about a one -mile radius. They <br />will be tied into the county emergency system. There are <br />cheaper sirens, however, they cover a smaller radius. <br />Radar Units <br />Chief Campbell explained his radar units are five years old <br />and could prove to be a problem if a court proceeding re- <br />quired testing. <br />Additional Patrolman <br />Chief Campbell is requesting an additional officer so that <br />this City could provide double coverage at prime time. He <br />is concerned when there is only one car on duty and the <br />officer makesan arrest. The officer must leave the City <br />to go to the county jail leaving no police coverage for the <br />City. This officer would also be used to cover the day <br />shift when the day officer is off duty. <br />
