20 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE TELEPHONE 484-3311 rcosevilleMINNES.OTA SS 113 April 20, 1982 Larry Hamer City of St. Anthony 3301 Silver Lake Road St. Anthony, Minnesota 55418 Re: Equipment Exchange Between Communities Dear Mr. Hamer: On April 15, 1982. . representatives from Fridley, St. Anthony, Columbia Heights, Shoreview and Roseville met at the Roseville city hall to follow up on earlier meetings concerning the potential for communities exchanging equipment. At this meeting, it was the consensus that the concept of such equipment exhanges .was • approved and it had the potential to be mutually beneficial . The following is a brief summary of the items discussed: (1) The process should be kept as informal as possible, minimizing paper work. Effort should be made to balance the exchange of equipment, rather than sending bills, if at all possible. \ (2) Short-term imbalances were not a particular concern as long as it was reasonable to assume that within the next year or two, these would be brought back to general equality. (3) Coverage of the equipment and employees sent with it to work in the other community would continue to be provided through the insurance provided by the sending community. (4) The exchange should- be open for use by any department of the involved cities, not just the Public Works Department. (5) The number of cities involved in this format may be expanded and, in fact, it is desirable that this occur. If any additional cities wish to partici- pate, then t}iey should be encouraged to do so. If they do not turn out to be in close proximity to your particular community, or you do not actually utilize their facilities, then nothing has been hurt. Having the information available, however, to aid in the event of needed use has considerable potential . (6) Each .city should provide the oth-ar communities with a list of avail- able equipment and it 's uses. In addition, include a listing of the names, work and home phone numbers of the proper people to contact. These are people who have authorization to send out the equipment and/or manpower.
