Minutes, Lake Ul.mo City Council, February 6, 1979 pg. 3 14 Youth Service Bureau/Emergency Medical. Servicest Mayor Armstrong said he -thought the City should stay out of these businesses, as they would become a perpetual -tax burden; the City has no control over the fund- Ing formula or the programs. Paul Weiler, Director )f the Bureau, said the Bureau is negotiating with the community corrections for a funding formula. Mottaz moved that the City deny both requests for funds. In discussion, Weiler said the City could have an audit, that the Bureau would. be willing to enter into a purchase of service agree- ment; and that he felt it was important for services like this to be autonomous from government bodies, Armstrong seconded the motiono. saying he thoughtthey are worthy programs; but, agreeing with Mottaz that they ought to be funded by the jurisdiction they serve - or all local governments within the jurisdiction. Pott expressed his feeling that, perhaps, the School. District should control these if their juris- diction is .the same. Weiler said only one City within the district has refused, support en- tirely. ,Five of 7 gave 100%; Stillwater gave 50% of the request. Mottaz and. Armstrong agreed to amend their motion to include instructions that; that Administrator contact the County or School District and encourage area -wide planning, control and coordination of the two services.
