070 <br />COUNCIL BUDGET MEETING NOVEMBER 28, 1988 <br />The special budget meeting of the Lino Lakes City Council <br />was called to order by Mayor Benson at 6:06 P.M., Monday, <br />November 28, 1988. Council Members present: Neal, Bisel, <br />Bohjanen, Reinert. Council Members absent: None. City <br />Accountant, Paula Romocky; Public Works Director, Don Volk; <br />Chief of Police, Dean Campbell; Administrator, Randy <br />Schumacher and Clerk - Treasurer Marilyn Anderson were also <br />present. <br />Mr. Schumacher informed the Council that he had received the <br />property appraisals for Rustic Lane regarding the 2nd Avenue <br />Improvement Project and gave each Council Member a summary <br />of the appraisals. <br />Centennial Fire Department <br />Mr. Schumacher responded to the questions raised by the <br />Council Members at the last budget meeting. The first <br />question relate to the Centennial Fire Department budget. <br />The Fire Department is requesting $31,867 more than is in <br />the 1988 Preliminary Budget. Mr. Schumacher has met with <br />the Fire Department representatives and is now recommending <br />to the Council that the budget figure be raised to $155,000, <br />$10,000 more than originally budgeted. He has informed the <br />Fire Department that this money is to be designated for <br />training firefighters for station No. 2. This additional <br />$10,000 will be taken from the surplus portion of the <br />preliminary budget. Mr. Schumacher explained that whether <br />or not Lino Lakes decides to build their own fire <br />department, trained firefighters will be needed for station <br />No. 2. This action would mean that the Centennial Fire <br />Department budget will have to be reduced by $21,867 and the <br />Fire Department said they felt they could operate fairly <br />well for 1989. <br />Mr. Schumacher said he will recommend that a letter of <br />intent be filed with the Centennial Fire District and this <br />then will allow one year for this City to renegotiate a more <br />equitable funding formula for the District. <br />Mayor Benson was concerned that the Fire Department may not <br />us the additional $10,000 to train fire fighting personnel <br />for station No. 2. Mr. Schumacher explained that they <br />accepted the compromise in good faith and Mr. Neal explained <br />PAGE 1 <br />
