<br />r <br /> <br />\. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Burak and Mayor Woodburn discussed the criteria for the costing <br />formula. Mayor Wedell expressed concern with a formula based on fire <br />runs; stated Shoreview is paying for their own runs and buying own <br />stations, and is not interested in contracting out services, as they are <br />not a supplier, and that it was North Oaks', not Shoreview's problem. <br /> <br />Councilmember Yakel discussed concerns of North Oaks relating to the <br />variances in desired degree of fire protection for each community; stated <br />that North Oaks was being forced to share in level of service being <br />dictated by Shoreview, and North Oaks' desire to continue working together <br />with the other two cities. <br /> <br />Mayor Wedell stated fire costs are treated in Shoreview as a budgeted <br />departmental function. <br /> <br />Mayor Woodburn reminded those present that Shoreview had said they would <br />pay for 50% of Station #2, which left 1-1/2 stations, costs of which would <br />be covered by Arden Hills and North Oaks. He also cautioned that North <br />Oaks should be aware that costs are doubling and that all will need to pay <br />their reasonable share; that if Station #2 is dropped, Arden Hills would <br />need to move ahead with their own plans. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />He also advised, contrary to news media releases, there had been no delay <br />with Station #4 due to Arden Hills; that Arden Hills had saved Shoreview <br />money, that the legislation needed would have taken this period of time <br />irregardless of Arden Hill's action. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued as to coverage per station, response time and <br />firefighters availability. Chief Winkel advised the northeast corner of <br />Shoreview is covered by Station #2. Mr McGraw stated when Station 83 is <br />up and running, Station #2 will not be needed. Mr. Winkel advised Station <br />#3 already has 18 firefighters. <br /> <br />Mr. McGraw advised Shoreview was meeting with Station #4 architects on <br />Saturday, and that they should be able to advise Arden Hills and North <br />Oaks of outcome and decisions made by May 14. Mr. Burak asked for a <br />longer range commitment from Shoreview for Station #2 than was being <br />suggested by Mayor Wedell. <br /> <br />Ad;ournment <br />The meeting was adjourned at 9:35 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />/7~ <br />;/ /..'/ ,,"_. . _ /.!<'..:.-< ,__r <br />/;( #.
