ARDEN HILLS Council was referred to a memorandum from Attorney Lynden dated 5-27-88, relative to the Joint Powers Agreement between Arden Hills and Shoreview for the purchase of an aerial fire truck. Lynden reviewed the agreement, as drafted by Shoreview's City Attorney, and advised the provision regarding disposition of the truck upon termination should state time limits for acting on disposition of the truck. Council concurred that the terminology in the disposition provision could be worked out between the Shoreview and Arden Hills Attorneys and that Attorney Lynden be directed to prepare a resolution approving the agreement. There was discussion relative to the five year payback on certificates of indebtedness versus a seven year payback. Council directed the Acting Clerk Administrator to obtain the figures for the five year payback schedule. Mayor Woodburn noted that this would be the first bond of this nature passed by the Arden Hills Council; he noted the costs would be paid for by general taxes, over and above the levy limit. Councilmember Peck suggested the maintenance costs for the proposed aerial truck be kept as a separate line item in the LJVFD budget; Mayor Woodburn advised that all fire equipment maintenance costs are currently outlined in the LJVFD in that manner. Peck moved, seconded by Hansen, that Council approve the Joint Powers Agreement between the Cities of Shoreview and Arden Hills for purchase of an aerial platform truck, subject to the Attorney Lynden's resolving the terminology of the disposition provision of the agreement by specifying a time limit for acting on disposition, and preparation of a resolution for Council review and approval.
