1 1' 2 <br />COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 27, 1988 <br />condition contained herein shall be guilty of a misdemeanor <br />as defined by state law. <br />SECTION II. EFFECTIVE DATE. <br />Subdivision 1. This ordinance shall be effective from and <br />after its passage and publication as provided by the Lino <br />Lakes City Charter. <br />Passed this 27 day of June <br />Lakes City Council. <br />, 1988 by the Lino <br />Marilyn 3. Anderson, Clerk- Treasurer <br />STATUS REPORT ON DISTRICT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND AMBULANCE <br />SERVICE - CHAIRMAN DUFRESNE <br />Mr. Dufresne introduced the newly appointed administrator <br />and controller of DMA, Mel Weber. Mr. Weber explained the <br />current financial condition of DMH and the ambulance <br />service. He explained that when the ambulance service was <br />extended into Lino Lakes, it was expected that the service <br />would bring additional patients to the hospital as well as <br />generating more ambulance runs. This has not happened for <br />several reasons and now the ambulance service is looking at <br />a nine months operational loss. The ambulance service feels <br />it is too soon to pull out of this area and is looking for <br />ways to reduce operating costs. Mr. Weber noted that the <br />ambulance service is paying rent and certain utilites at the <br />fire station and asked the Council to consider reducing or <br />eliminating these costs. <br />Mayor Benson directed the Administrator to look at what the <br />costs involve and report the effect of eliminating them at <br />the July 25, 1988 Council meeting. He also asked that Mr. <br />Weber be contacted when the agenda is set. <br />Mr. Bisel said he felt this City has benefited greatly from <br />the cooperation and good service provided by the ambulance <br />service. <br />OLD BUSINESS <br />
