MEMORANDUM <br />To:Saint Anthony Village City Council <br />From:Charlie Yunker, City Manager <br />Date:September 23, 2025 <br />Request: Police Services Contract with the City of Lauderdale, MN <br />BACKGROUND <br />Throughout 2024, the City explored and ultimately agreed to a contract with Falcon Heights to provide <br />police services and return to a three-city partnership for policing Saint Anthony Village, Lauderdale and <br />Falcon Heights. <br />As part of that process, the contract for police service was updated with the intention of having <br />mirrored contracts with both partner cities, as was past practice. While the exploratory process with <br />Falcon Heights was taking place, the existing contract with Lauderdale approached renewal and was <br />extended as-is for one year at Lauderdale’s request, and approved by the Council on August 15, 2024. <br />Now that the extension is approaching renewal, it is time to update the contract with Lauderdale to <br />mirror the contract with Falcon Heights. This will also align the timeframe of both contracts to be the <br />same so any future desired modifications can more easily be discussed and ratified by all three partners. <br />All aspects of the contract are identical to the Falcon Heights contract with one exception of excess <br />liability being carried by the city. Lauderdale expressed that carrying excess liability above the current <br />level is cost prohibitive and has proven to be more than sufficient over the many years of partnership. <br />As a result, staff concluded that the existing level of excess liability is sufficient for Lauderdale to carry <br />and does not present undue risk for either partner. <br />The City of Lauderdale is also approving this contract as part of their Council agenda on this same date. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends approval. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Police Services Contract with the City of Lauderdale <br />Resolution 25-061 <br />24
