1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />JOINT COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 17, 1989 <br />replaces its equipment, Lino Lakes will have something that <br />Lino Lakes can say this is where their money lies. <br />Mayor Benson suggested that all three Councils look at <br />appointing a steering committee to review the Joint Powers <br />Agreement. He felt a smaller committee would be more <br />effective. He explained that the Lino Lakes Council is on <br />record as asking for this committee and setting out March <br />31st as a date for obtaining an update from the steering <br />committee and May 31st as a date for completion of the <br />negotiations. Mayor Benson did not feel it was in the <br />interest of the District or the three cities to allow this <br />matter to linger. <br />Mrs. Zoff - Pelton noted that everyone is in agreement to meet <br />and review the Joint Powers Agreement and anything else that <br />needs review. She noted that her Council could not agree to <br />any changes tonight. Mr. Bisel noted that Lino Lakes is <br />looking for an agreement by May 31st. <br />Mrs. Zoff - Pelton noted that Lino Lakes has put a lot of <br />thought into what their concerns are and asked that these <br />concerns be forwarded to the steering committee ahead of time <br />so that the committee can review them. Mayor Benson said the <br />Council has tried to narrow their concerns and noted that the <br />new Agreement should contain wording that would require the <br />three cities to meet prior to the budget process to give the <br />Fire District more direction regarding the budget. <br />Mr. Steenberg asked where the Fire Commission fits into all <br />of this and noted that it is part of their responsibility to <br />work with the Agreement. Mr. Des Englund said that the <br />Commission feels a review of the Agreement is not a bad idea, <br />there are holes and inconsistencies. He suggested that one <br />member of the steering committee from each city should be a <br />Fire Commission member. <br />It was noted that an attorney other than a city attorney <br />should be retained to rewrite the Agreement. It was also <br />suggested that an expert be retained to advise the three <br />cities if they are getting something for their money. <br />Mayor Haberman suggested that each city be able to open <br />negotiations. He felt it makes no sense to let something get <br />away and suggested a process that would allow any city to <br />open negotiations on a particular matter. <br />It was agreed to appoint a steering committee consisting of <br />two persons from each of the three cities. These members <br />could be Council Members or Fire Commission Members. They <br />are to be given the perimeters and made aware of where each <br />city is coming from on each issue. An update from this <br />committee would be expected by March 31st. Mayor Benson <br />suggested that each city put their concerns in writing and <br />send a copy to the steering committee prior to their first <br />165 <br />
