44 <br /> Apparatus: Upon entering into this agreement, we would want to take over all St.Anthony <br /> apparatus and equipment for the life of the contract(3 years). If the contract is not renewed the <br /> apparatus and equipment would be returned to the City of St.Anthony. <br /> After studying the number of runs and geographical layout of St. Anthony, I propose a contract <br /> of$400,000 per year fora period of three years totaling$1,200,000. At the end of three years, <br /> we would re-evaluate the program and renegotiate a contract for another three years. I believe <br /> there are only two things that will increase the cost of the renegotiated contract: <br /> a) increased number of runs <br /> b) increased salaries due to new labor contracts. <br /> I do not believe that either of these items would cause more than a 4 to 5% increase in the <br /> contract, but would have to be determined when renewing the contract with St.Anthony. <br /> The rigs that will be the primary response units in St.Anthony are Engine 15 and Ladder 7. <br /> These two rigs would have conspicuous signage clearly identifying the apparatus as a joint <br /> effort response unit for Minneapolis and St.Anthony. <br /> St.Anthony would also be a part of our annual literature drop campaign, covering 50% of the <br /> City of St.Anthony in one year, and the other 50%the next year. We would also provide fire <br /> education for all high rise and senior citizen complexes. We will conduct familiarization and <br /> code compliance inspections on all commercial buildings. We believe that these fire prevention <br /> activities have reduced the number and severity of fires in Minneapolis, and will have the same <br /> benefit for the City of St.Anthony. <br /> If there are any issues or questions not covered above, please feel free to call Fire Chief Rocco <br /> Forte. He is willing to go to any type of meeting or forum to discuss this proposal. <br />
