To Approve Consent Agenda Item 6A as Presented. <br />Finance Director Hansen asked for Council direction as to whether the proposed payment <br />arrangement with the Fire Department was an acceptable method of payment. He then explained <br />that the Fire Department has requested two months' payment for the first four months, one <br />month's payment for the next four months and no payments for the last four months. <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated it has been the practice of the City to pay for the month of <br />service in the month the service is provided. <br />Council Member Marty asked if the bottom line is the same. <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated it was. <br />Council Member Marty commented the payment arrangement has been ongoing since 1990 when <br />the Joint Powers Agreement was signed. <br />City Administrator Miller explained that the Joint Powers Agreement was signed in 1990 but <br />there is nothing in minutes, nothing attached to the agreement, and nothing in resolution format <br />to authorize this type of payment method. She then indicated that, if Council wishes to authorize <br />this method of payment a resolution would need to be drafted for approval. <br />Council Member Marty asked if Blaine and Spring Lake Park have the same arrangement with <br />the Fire Department. <br />City Administrator Miller indicated she believed the payment arrangement to be the same for <br />Blaine and Spring Lake Park but said she would look into the matter. <br />Council agreed to the payment arrangement provided the other cities have the same type of <br />arrangement. <br />Council Member Stigney asked whether this method of payment was recommended by Staff. <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated he had not brought a recommendation and was seeking <br />Council direction. <br />• <br />
