<br /> , <br /> VILLAGE OF SHOREVIEW <br /> RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA <br /> . 4665 NORTH VICTORiA STREET <br /> Shoreview, Minnesota 55126 . Telephone 4S4-3353 <br /> October 22, 1987 <br /> Mayor and City Council <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> c/o Pat Morrison <br /> 1450 W. Hwy. 96 <br /> Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br /> Dear Mayor Woodburn and Members of the Council: <br /> The Shoreview City Council passed the enclosed resolution at <br /> their last regular meeting on October 19, 1987, pertaining to the <br /> municipal ownership of fire equipment. In our negotiations with <br /> the Lake Johanna Volunteer Fire Department on budget matters, we <br /> have determined that a major issue is whether or not the three <br /> cities will assume ownership and responsibility for depreciation <br /> of major fire equipment in the future. <br /> You have previously sent us correspondence indicating your <br /> . interest in proceeding with municipal ownership of the equipment <br /> in the future. It is our understanding that you are proceeding <br /> with the concept of municipal ownership in your negotiations with <br /> the Fire Department on a new contract. However, during the time <br /> period before you can complete negotiations and actually execute <br /> a new contract with the Fire Department, we believe it may help <br /> in the negotiation with the Fire Department if you pass the same <br /> or similar resolution that we have approved. The Fire Department <br /> appears to be reluctant to reduce its budget proposals until they <br /> have a definite commitment from all three cities to future <br /> municipal ownership and depreciation for the major fire equipment <br /> in each station. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> !!J~ v/I !y f}~-, <br /> Dwight D. Johnson <br /> City Manager <br /> DDJ:cdg <br /> cc: City of North Oaks <br /> enclosure <br /> . <br /> ------ - <br />
