168 <br />COUNCIL MEETING <br />AUGUST 8, 1988 <br />proposed the agreement and he said he would be willing to <br />open services to any provider if need be. Mr. Reinert felt <br />this may be an upheavel but felt that DMH should have <br />calculated more closely on their_proposal. <br />After further discussion Mr. Bisel moved to deny the request <br />of DMH Ambulance Service. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion. <br />Motion carried with Mr. Neal abstaining. <br />CONSIDERATION OF AMBULANCE COVERAGE FOR THE SOUTHEAST CORNER <br />OF LINO LAKES BY DISTRICT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL <br />Mr. Schumacher has received a letter from DMH ambulance <br />service explaining how ambulance calls are handled in the <br />southeast corner of Lino Lakes by White Bear Lake. In <br />addition a letter from the administrator of DMH has been <br />received stating that the ambulance service is not in a <br />position to pay the cost of the mutual aid agreement with <br />White Bear Lake. Mr. Bisel was very concerned because he <br />understood that this City already had a contract with the <br />White Bear Lake ambulance service. Mr. Schumacher explained <br />that DMH will be serving the area and there is a cost <br />involved that DMH cannot pick up. White Bear Lake had been <br />servicing the area until about a month and one half ago when <br />the City was notified that they would not continue unless <br />the fee was paid. Mr. Bisel felt the contract with White <br />Bear Lake should be completed as soon as possible. <br />There was discussion regarding the original presentation by <br />Barry Matson of DMH and that what has occurred has been <br />changed since the original presentation. <br />Mr. Schumacher was requested to determine how the ambulance <br />service for the southeast corner can be put in place and <br />then to have DMH complete the agreement. <br />CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTING TWO MEMBERS TO THE CHARTER <br />COMMISSION <br />On June 27, 1988 the Council voted for three one year term <br />Charter Commission members and eight four year term Charter <br />members.

Mr. Hawkins <br />explained to the Council that he has been contacted by <br />Charter Chairman, Jerry Hanson who told him that he has <br />presented two names to the courts to fill the two vacancies. <br />Mr. Hawkins has also written a letter to the judge <br />indicating that the Charter Commission had failed to fill <br />PAGE 15 <br />1 <br />
