. . .. ~ Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, May 9, 1988 Page 5 AERIAL EQUIP. (Cont') The Fire Chief explained the training would be done over a two or three month time period, with the initial training being done by the company and additional training being done in-house. Winkel advised he would prefer to negotiate for a demonstrator model of the aerial apparatus, which would reduced the approximate cost figure quoted in Shoreview's letter. Council preferred the Fire Chief investigate the possibility of purchasing a demonstrator model truck, rather than a new one. Council discussed the fact that Shoreview has a higher population and the possibility of a more equal cost sharing percentage, such as 70-30. Councilmember Winiecki questioned if surrounding communities had aerial equipment. Winkel explained that Roseville and White Bear Lake have the equipment, and the LJVFD has used it under the mutual aid agreement. He noted that other cities use their equipment on a standby basis when a fire occurs in our city. Paul Malone, 1485 Dawn Circle, stated he agreed there is a necessity for this type of equipment in our city. He explained that fire activity is directly related to residential areas, and, therefore, it was his opinion a more reasonable cost participation should be negotiated. Hansen moved, seconded by Winiecki, that Council direct City staff to send a letter to the City of Shoreview, advising the following: -Arden Hills is interested in sharing cost for the purchase of an aerial platform truck. -Council would prefer a cost participation at a 70-30 percent ratio. -Council suggested a meeting be set-up to further discuss the matter. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) DISCONT.
