1 <br />Council Meeting <br />January 30, 1989 <br />Mr. Schumacher began by explaining his straight per household <br />charge. He stated that this is just one option. Everyone <br />would pay the same dollar figure per household. <br />Funding option #2, is based on the same principle, with the <br />addition of a base charge. Mr. Schumacher threw out a figure <br />of $20,000.00. The Council determined that it would cost <br />Centerville a minimum of $60,000.00 to establish their own <br />department. By comparison, this proposed charge of <br />$41,000.00 is still reasonable. <br />Rescue had already been discussed. <br />Voting simply means that if Lino Lakes pay 60% of the costs <br />of the district, and Centerville pay 8 %, Lino Lakes would get <br />a 60% vote in the running of the district. This is how the <br />Cable Commission is run. The council agreed that this made <br />sense. <br />Under the general powers of the board, the administrator <br />recommends that the individual city choose where fire <br />buildings be, that the commission not be able to sell fire <br />buildings, and that each city provide fire equipment to their <br />respective fire halls. <br />Mayor Benson suggested we standardize all regulations <br />regarding fires throughout the district. Mr Neal stated that <br />he would like to see all the equipment in the district re- <br />appraised. He also mentioned the possibility of a user <br />charge. <br />Mayor Benson brought up the point that we should choose who <br />would be representing Lino Lakes on the Steering Committee. <br />Mr. Neal suggested that the mayor be on this committee. The <br />mayor stated that he would be willing to sit on this <br />committee. The chairmanship of the Steering Committee would <br />rotate between the administrators. It was also suggested <br />that Mr. Reinert sit on this committee. <br />The first meeting was tentatively scheduled for Tuesday the <br />7th. Mayor Benson said that he would like to see some <br />positive moves made on these issues by March. He stated that <br />he would like to see 2 or 3 meetings take place by March. <br />The first meeting would probably be just a laying out of <br />issues, and scheduling the remainder of the meetings. Mayor <br />Benson also suggested that the meetings take place in the <br />city hall of the administrator doing the chairmanship. <br />As stated earlier, staff was directed to gather data on the <br />options available to us. <br />Meeting Adjourned. <br />1 <br />Page 5 <br />
