• • • CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION DECEMBER 16, 1998 implement this system including a Joint Powers Agreement and a Records Management Agreement. The purpose of this proposal is to allow access to data gathered by all law enforcement agencies within the County. The total cost of the system is approximately $780,630. Anoka County will be responsible for about $400,000. The balance will be distributed between the other agencies on a pro -rated basis by call load. Lino Lakes will be responsible for about $20,000 which includes operating costs and phone equipment costs. On going costs would be approximately $2,600 per year. The current record system is out dated and as of January 1, 1999, there will be no support. It would cost about $20,000 to upgrade the current system. Dave noted the "call load" is based on calls dispatched by the County for emergency situations. The County will bond to pay for all of the equipment. The City will be billed for their portion of the costs over a four (4) year period. Dave indicated there is money in this year's budget to fund this proposal and the cost can be justified. The annual maintenance cost will be the same or less than the current records system. The proposed system will offer the City the opportunity to do everything electronically and store more records. The public will not be able to access the information so privacy and legalities are not an issue. This item will appear on the agenda at the regular Council meeting on Monday, December 21, 1998. LIVABLE COMMUNITIES PARTICIPATION/GOALS, BRIAN WESSEL Brian noted that if the City participates in the Livable Communities Program the City will be eligible for participation in a Digital Community Program. The City would then be eligible for funding of the latest technology for the Town Center. An update regarding this program will be given in a few weeks. Staff met with Met Council as directed by the City Council to discuss the proposed Livable Community goals. Met Council is comfortable with the more realistic changes staff suggested. This includes an 85/15% owner/rental mix and a 65% affordability goal for owner -occupied housing. Brian noted the goals apply only to new units constructed in the future. That is, the existing housing units are not to be included in the calculations for comparing progress to the long-term goals. In addition, the goals cannot be applied specifically to the Town Center. Jeff reviewed current data and explained how it related to the Livable Community goals and the Comprehensive Plan projections. It was noted that these goals will be outdated in two (2) to three (3) years and will be reviewed again after the 2000 census.
