(5-0) LJVFD CONTRACT UPDATE Mayor Woodburn reported on the LJVFD contract negotiations; he requested Council comments on the two issues which have been difficult to settle.

Retention of capital (depreciated) funds; should a portion of these funds be maintained by the City and authorized for use only upon request by the fire department. After discussion, Council concurred that the LJVFD should utilize some of their capital reserves for purchase of capital equipment before the City would begin purchasing the equipment through their normal budgetary process. Councilmember Peck commented that he would request the fire department submit a balance sheet of actual operating expenses for the fire department; Council agreed.
