DEPARTMENTAL BUDGET NARRATIVE <br /> • <br /> FUND: General <br /> DEPARTMENT: Fire <br /> DEPARTMENT OBJECTIVE <br /> The objective of the Fire Department is to provide efficient and effective fire <br /> protection. <br /> • <br /> DEPARTMENT ACTIVITIES <br /> The Fire Department provides for the City's share of the funding for the Blaine- <br /> Spring Lake Park-Mounds View Fire Department, a tri-city operated volunteer <br /> department funded by a joint powers agreement between the three cities. The <br /> Department provides fire protection to three cities and the Anoka County-Blaine <br /> Airport through a Contract for Fire Protection Services and an annual budget. <br /> • DEPARTMENT GOALS <br /> The goal of the Fire Department is to provide the best level of fire protection <br /> possible for the residents of Mounds View. <br /> 1994 DEPARTMENT EXPENDITURE COMMENTS <br /> The 1994 Budget for the Fire Department is a decrease over the 1993 Budget due to <br /> several factors: a decrease in department expenditures, number of call formula <br /> calculations and the successful-contract-negotiations with the Twin Cities Army -- <br /> Ammunition Plant (TCAA) to provide fire services to the site in Arden Hills. The <br /> contract reduced the amount of annual expenditure for all three cities. <br /> The Department's Capital Outlay for the next several years will be paid from the <br /> proceeds of General Obligation Bond Issue approved by voters in 1990. <br /> • <br />
