� EN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: January 30, 2012 TO: Mayor and City Council Patrick Klaers, City Administrator FROM: Sue Iverson, Director of Finance and Administrative Services SUBJECT: Lake Johanna Fire Department Capital Expenditures BACKGROUND The City has received an invoice from the Lake Johanna Fire Department (LJFD) for capital expenditures in 2012 (Attachment A). This invoice is related to the reimbursement to the City of Shoreview for their payment of more than their share of past capital expenditures. In 2004/2005, the Cities who participate in the LJFD fire service reviewed the past funding of capital expenditures, and put in place the current cost allocation formula for capital expenditures. As part of that process, it was determined the City of Shoreview had paid more than its fair share of past capital expenditures. It was determined that this overpayment would be remedied through a reimbursement to Shoreview by the Cities of Arden Hills and North Oaks over a five- year period. During this period, when significant capital expenditures are funded, a portion of the Shoreview share of the expenditures will be paid by the Cities of Arden Hills and North Oaks. The reimbursement began in 2008, and will continue through 2012. The amount of the reimbursement is $21,815 per year, of which the Arden Hills portion is $13,165. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED 1. Motion to approve a payment in the amount of $13,165.00 to the Lake Johanna Fire Department which is the City's share of the capital reimbursement to the City of Shoreview from the 2012 budget.
