RESOLUTION 6512
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
AUTHORIZATION TO DEVELOP FINAL FIRE VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS AND BIDS FOR
TWO FIRE ENGINES/PUMPERS FOR THE SPRING LAKE PARK-BLAINE-MOUNDS VIEW
FIRE DEPARTMENT
WHEREAS, the cities of Spring Lake Park, Blaine and Mounds View have been served
by the Spring Lake Park Fire Department since 1944; and
WHEREAS, the department and the cities have been working together to develop a
Capital Improvement Plan; and
WHEREAS, a joint city council meeting held July 22, 2004, resulted in a consensus to
move the plan forward; and
WHEREAS, during the month of February all three cities held public hearings on
adoption of the plan and all three councils passed a resolution indicating funding for the plan
was to be in the form of Capital Improvement Bonds; and
WHEREAS, state law requires a 30 day reverse referendum period which has now
expired with no citizens of any of the three cities filing a petition for a referendum thus allowing
the communities to fund the program with Capital Improvement Bonds; and
WHEREAS, one of the three components of the project was the purchase of two
engines to replace Engine 1 housed at Station One and Engine 2, housed at Station Two; and
WHEREAS, a committee was formed and chaired by Deputy Chief Don Krueger and
comprised of the Senior Captains at both stations; and
WHEREAS, the committee hereby recommends the need for the replacement engines
now.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Mounds View supports the City of
Blaine Council in developing final specifications and issuing for bids for two fire
engines/pumpers not to exceed $450,000 each in total price, including specified loose
equipment.
