11 <br />unanimously. <br />Centennial Fire Department Disbursement - Council Member Neal <br />questioned the disbursement to MaChovec's Food Market for <br />equipment. Mr. Schumacher said this must be a coding error. He <br />will research the matter and bring the information back to the <br />Council. Council Member Neal moved to approve these <br />disbursements as presented. Council Member Kuether seconded the <br />motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br />NEW BUSINESS <br />Anoka County Joint Law Enforcement Meeting - Council Member Neal <br />explained that he had attended a meeting where there was <br />discussion of charging for various services offered by law <br />enforcement agencies. This includes charging $20.00 when a <br />officer responds to a false alarm. Another charge is $20.00 to <br />open a locked car. The officer will write a ticket and bill the <br />owner for the service. It was noted that many law enforcement <br />agencies already charge for these services. In the past it was <br />felt that these services should be paid by the tax dollar. Now <br />with the current budget crunch, law enforcement agencies are <br />taking another look at areas to raise additional revenues. <br />Council Member Neal suggested that the Fire Department also look <br />at charging for false alarms. <br />Acting Mayor asked that the Chief of Police research to determine <br />how many of these types of calls are received by the Police <br />Department each year and possible revenue from such calls. He <br />said negligence calls should be charged a fee. Council Member <br />Bohjanen expressed concern that such charges could get out of <br />line. <br />Consideration of Accepting Resignation, Edgar J. Belland and <br />Authorization to Advertise for Replacement - Mr. Schumacher noted <br />that Mr. Belland did an excellent job and will be recognized for <br />his work. He asked if the Council preferred that the open <br />position be advertised immediately or if the Council preferred to <br />wait until after the budget process. Council Member Kuether said <br />it is her opinion that the position should have been filled <br />immediately with a woman candidate. She also asked if the <br />position has to be advertised or if it could be filled by someone <br />on the current list of eligible candidates? Mr. Schumacher <br />explained that there are about four (4) persons on the <br />eligibility list and he will check to see if there are any still <br />interested in the position. <br />Council Member Bohjanen moved to accept the resignation of Edgar <br />Belland and send him a letter of thanks. Council Member Neal <br />seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br />PAGE 10 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />
