May 26, 2009 <br />Heather Butkowski <br />City of Lauderdale <br />1891 Walnut Street <br />Lauderdale, Minnesota 55113 <br />Dear Heather: <br />Enclosed is the Contract Agreement for police services for 2010 and 2011 between the City of <br />Lauderdale and City of St. Anthony. The increases for each contract year are 21/o in 2010 and <br />2% in 2011. In 2010, the City removed $11,000 for dispatching services. This will be paid to <br />Ramsey County by each city. <br />The proposed increase is necessary to offset increased costs in the following areas: <br />✓ Health insurance premiums increased 16% and each year continues to rise at <br />double-digit levels. <br />✓ Increasing costs of maintenance (labor, tires, parts & etc.). <br />✓ Volatility of fuel costs. <br />✓ PERA (Employer pension contributions were increased by the State). <br />The proposed increase listed below is contingent on a favorable approval of the St. Anthony City <br />Council. The St. Anthony City Council will schedule approval after Lauderdale approves the <br />contract. Here is a current summary of the cost for services: <br />2009 Proposed Proposed <br />Contract 2010 2011 <br />$567,250 $578,595 $590,167 <br />In addition, we have changed language on the Joint Advisory Committee to meet once per year, <br />changed the Termination Agreement so it is consistent with both cities. Also, dispatch <br />expenditures will be paid for by each city. If you have any questions, please contact me at 612- <br />782-3311 or email at mike.mornson@ci.saint-anthony.mn.us <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael J.
