101 Councilmember: . Enroot,h agreed - the Council- had. expected to .pay between <br /> 2 $5 ,000 and $6 ,•000 for the program. <br /> 3 Councilmember: Makowske -pointed out that there would certainly be. some <br /> 4 reserve turnover which would . increase the .clothing 'cost's., but any <br /> 5 equipment which is issued for a reserve' s use would have to- be turned <br /> 6 in when she or he left the program. Chief Hickerson said that was <br /> 7 true but the City would have to pay for replacing clothing. which wore <br /> 8 out. <br /> 9 Council Action <br /> 10 Motion by Marks , seconded by Ranallo. to adopt the changes in the <br /> 11 reserve bylaws recommended in Police Chief Hickerson' s October 2 , <br /> 12 1987 memorandum, as indicated in the revised bylaws attached to his <br /> 13 memorandum. <br /> 14 Motion carried unanimously. <br /> 15 Hickerson Changes Recommendation Regarding Animal Control Services <br /> 16 The Police Chief indicated he had initially assumed New Brighton <br /> 17 would be providing 8 hour service every day and had found instead <br /> 18. they.:would only have a man on duty 20 hours a week, leaving the <br /> 19 responsibility for animal control the rest of the time up to St. <br /> 1020 Anthony Police force. He said no definite information was available <br /> 21 as to what that service would cost St. Anthony, but perceived the <br /> 22 costs for New Brighton providing the - service or having 52 hours of <br /> 23 'patrolling at $8 . 42 as proposed by Animal Control & Management, .Inc. <br /> 24 were now much closer . He told Councilmember__ Makowske New Brighton' s <br /> 25 charges would be based on how long an animal had to be retained which <br /> 26 was hard to figure if you didn' t know how many animals would be <br /> 27 'picked up, but he -now realized the figures quoted for New Brighton <br /> 28 would be much higher if based on the 8 hour shift he had assumed in <br /> 29 the original estimate. <br /> 30 The Chief pointed out that the $438 difference between the two <br /> 31 services could easily be , lessened depending on how many animals were <br /> 32 picked up after hours . Consideration should also be given to what it <br /> 33 would cost the City to have 'a policeman pick up animals when New <br /> 34 Brighton service was not available -and -.to provide a holding area <br /> 35 until the animal could . be taken to New Brighton. Taking all this <br /> 36 into consideration, .the Police Chief indicated he now perceived it <br /> 37 would be cheaper in the long run to go with ACM. <br /> 38 Chief Hickerson said he had sat in on a meeting . between the com- <br /> 39 muni-ties mentioned in his memorandum and found the only one who was <br /> 40 staying with New Brighton was Falcon Heights , who only had .an average <br /> 41 of two animals picked up annually. He told Councilmember Enrooth <br /> 42 the City wouldn' t be out much if this service failed because either <br /> •43 party can cancel the agreement with a. 30 -day notice . <br /> 11 <br />
