Mr. Munson presented a revised <br />reporting form and this will include the response time. <br />Mr. Karth questioned the number of men at fires. Mr. Munson said not all the men <br />who have signed the report attend the fires. This only means they responded to <br />the call and reported at the fire station. Some stay and work at the station on <br />equipment or cleaning the station. <br />Mr. Munson said the money paid to Lexington by Lino Lakes for fire coverage is <br />placed in an equipment reserve fund and next year they will be purchasing a new <br />fire truck.

Mr. McLean moved to hold this until <br />this document has been received. The Clerk was instructed to contact the developer <br />on this matter. <br />Under old business, Mr. Karth asked if the towing contracts should be let out on <br />bids? Mr. Locher said since the City is not receiving any money, nor are they <br />paying money, it is not necessary. <br />Mr. Schneider returned to the matter of the Sergeant's position. He said from <br />an economic and business standpoint, this City does not need a sergeant. He asked <br />Chief Myhre if he had any reasons why this position should be retained. <br />Chief Myhre said the Sergeant does osme of :his work and he supervises the epairs <br />and upkeep of the squads. <br />Mr. Schneider said with a department of <br />time people, how much supervision do we <br />times, and it has been generally agreed <br />said if this is a supervisory position, <br />unit, if it is not supervisory, then it <br />three full time people and three part - <br />need? This has been discussed at various <br />this position is not needed.

Mr. Schneider said this could <br />be discussed at the Park Board meeting. <br />Mr. McLean said in the Personnel Commission's recommendations, there had been no <br />consideration 6f the expenses for the Council members. He felt this is a matter <br />that should be considered. The Clerk said there is a Personnel Commission meeting <br />scheduled for this Thursday.
