I will give you a call in a couple of weeks to discuss this further. <br /> The current arrangement is a result of a verbal agreement between Don Poss, Samantha Orduno, <br /> and Ron Fagerstrom. Presently. Blaine Fire Marshal Katherine Gove and Blaine Deputy Fire <br /> Marshal Brad Matti perform reactive functions on a fee basis. The vast majority of their work <br /> involves following up on any commercial, industrial, or high occupancy (apartments) calls of any <br /> type, performing plan review, and monitoring sprinkler systems. Total charges last year were <br /> $2,521.66. First quarter charges this year are $908.71. <br /> The goal is twofold, one is a strong inspection program as a vehicle or means <br /> by which we continue <br /> to operate a volunteer fire department at substantial cost savings to the residents and the other is too <br /> maintain public safety for both our personnel and the citizens of the community. Blaine has <br /> approved the hiring of a code enforcement person which will free up Katherine and Brads time to <br /> focus on fire inspections. Additionally, one of the following options will free them up for more time <br /> in Blaine. In 9 years we have not been through every business in that community. <br /> Spring Lake Park has hired Clark Kube as a combination building and fire official. <br /> Option A <br /> Hire a full time combination Building and Fire Official as a means to address our mutual problems <br /> and address the Cities concern regarding maintenance of housing stock. Cost with benefits would <br /> be approximately $45k. Experienced Fire Marshals gross pay is $44k. Clark is paid close to $30k. <br /> • <br /> 1710 Highway 10 Spring Lake Park.MN 55432 Phone: 612-786-4436 Fax: 612-786-9617 Emergency: 9 1 1 <br />
