165 COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 20. 1990 Chief Campbell will address this matter in a letter to the City of Centerville and also talk to their Administrator personally. The City Attorney felt that since the City of Centerville will generate revenue from these pending court matters, they probably will honor a request for reimbursement. Council Member Reinert asked about the possibility of a backup request from the Circle /Lex Police Department in the City of Centerville. The City Attorney said that if a Circle /Lex Police Officer feels he needs backup, he should get the backup from his own department. However., if the situation is life threatening or there is criminal activity, the Circle /Lex Police Officer could request backup from Central Communications and the Lino Lakes Police Department could be asked to respond. The Lino Lakes Police Officers will have to make judgement calls regarding whether or not to respond. This information will also be given to the City of Centerville. Mayor Bisel asked that Chief Campbell define the role of the Lino Lakes Police Department as carefully as possible.
