MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNC <br />FROM: CLFRK-ADMINISTRATO <br />DATE: SEPTEMBER 20, 1988 <br />SUBJECT: 1989 FIRE DEPARTMENT BUDGET <br />As I have previously indicated to you, I have been in <br />detailed negotiations with the Fire Department along with <br />the City Manager of Blaine and City Administrator of Spring <br />Lake Park on the Fire Department's 1989 budget. After <br />several meetinga relating to the budget, it was agreed that <br />the budget as presented excluding Chief Fagerstrom's <br />Proposal for an annuity program for new firefighters was <br />reasonable and appropriate based upon the operating history <br />of the Department and past expenditures. It was agreed that <br />the issue of additional compensation in the form of wages or <br />annuity programs for new firefighters would be discussed <br />between now and the 1990 budget for possible implementation <br />of a program to assist in attracting and retaining fire- <br />fighters. <br />Attached please find Chief Fagerstrom's revised budget <br />documents showing his proposal for a budget in the amount of <br />$662,379 with $136,938 of that amount being charged to the <br />�y City of Mounde View. The amount to be charged to the City <br />7 is $3,379 less than contained in the Staff proposed budget. <br />Adjustments will be made to the budget to reflect this <br />change prior to your anticipated adoption of the 1989 <br />General Fund Budget on October loth. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of t:ie 1989 Fire <br />Department Budget as submitted by Fire Chief Fagerstrom in <br />his memorandum dated September 16, 1988. <br />DFP/MJS <br />
