Fire Board Representative Appointment <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch indicated a new Fire Board had been created, which would be the <br />operational review for the new Fire Chief and the Fire Department. He stated the <br />City was responsible for appointing one representative from the community, <br />Council, or staff to represent the community on the new Fire Board. <br /> <br />Council Member Larson stated they had a Joint Powers Board that oversaw the <br />budget and the general agreement that the three Cities had. He stated they also had <br />a Board that oversaw the pension fund, He indicated this was a third Board that <br />would basically work with the new Fire Chief on the day-to-day aspects of running <br />the Fire Department. He stated this was a new Board and it was distinct from the <br />other two Boards that had been in place for some time. <br /> <br />Council Member Aplikowski stated she believed it would be good for Council <br />Member Larson to be a member of this Board, <br /> <br />MOTION: Council Member Aplikowski moved and Council Member Grant <br />seconded a motion to appoint Council Member Gregg Larson to the <br />Fire Board. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />B. Future of DARE Program <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch explained the future of the DARE Program through the Ramsey County <br />Sheriffs Department had been under discussion for the past several months, He <br />indicated continuation of DARE has now reached a critical point within the City's <br />contract jurisdiction group, He stated Mounds View School District would be <br />using a school resource officer instead of a DARE officer. As a result, Arden Hills, <br />Shoreview, and North Oaks need to decide whether they are willing to fund the <br />greater share of DARE costs, <br /> <br />Council Member Aplikowski stated if the Sheriffs Department was in favor of <br />this program, they should come forward and explain what it means to them. She <br />indicated it was difficult for her to determine what exactly that meant to the City. <br />She asked if the City benefited from this program. <br />
