<br /> Minutes of Special Council Meeting, Decsmber 27
<br /> Pale 2
<br /> Sather advised, of the Shoreview sites, his number one choice, because of
<br /> cost, would be the Island Lake site, and number 2, Schoonover, because of
<br /> proximity I felt the Schoonover site should be tied up with an option, but the
<br /> differsncs in re.pon.e tima wa. not worth $200,000. Hansen and Peck concurred.
<br /> Shoreview Council preferred Island Lake site, with Schoonover as back-up.
<br /> Hicks advised he did not want consideration of the Colestock site dropped.
<br /> Shoreview Council members expressed concern re station in back of sita, and
<br /> cost of full site.
<br /> Wedell advised he would ask Tony Crea to draft a bill for Island Lake land
<br /> exchange, that he would discuss matter with County Board, and that Black would
<br /> be asked to nelotiate with Schoonover to get price reduced on soil correction.
<br /> -- It was moved by Hansen, seconded by Peck, that, in order to start the process,
<br /> the Council determine the Island Lake site be considered first choice for
<br /> Station #4 due to cost, and further. approval be given to pursue option for
<br /> purchase of Schoonover site, contingent upon approval by Corp of Engineers, DNR
<br /> and RCWD, together with any other alency approval needed. Motion carried
<br /> unanimously. (4-0)
<br /> Hicks reiterated the Colestock site was dropped only for today to get the
<br /> procsss moving.
<br /> South Fire Station Advisory Committee
<br /> It was recommended that each Council, at its next regular meeting, appoint
<br /> representatives (Arden Hills', one, Shoreview, two) to the South Fire Station
<br /> Advisory Committee, in accordance with the Joint Powers Agreement. It was
<br /> further suggested the Committee determine a system configuration with the
<br /> assistance of the Fire Consultant and input from the Fire Department. It was
<br /> also determined that businesses should be advised of reduction in insurance
<br /> rates with this type of fire protection.
<br /> Motion was made by Hansen, seconded by Peck, that the Arden Hills Council
<br /> hereby determine that the Joint Arden Hi11s/Shoreview South Fire Station
<br /> Advisory Committee should convene at the earliest possible date, and work with
<br /> the Fire Consultant (Quirk) as well as the Fire Department, to carry out its
<br /> duties as set forth in the Joint Powers Agreement. Motion carried
<br /> unanimously. (3-0) (Sather left the meetinl at 10:17 a.m.)
<br /> Shoreview Council passed a like motion.
<br /> Wedell requested that Black furnish Morrison with a copy of Station 3 contract,
<br /> and budget for Station 3, to be used as a model for Station 4.
<br /> Hansen suggested the Fire Department may need part time paid staff, Winkel
<br /> stated he felt a full time Fire Marshal was needed.
<br /> Insurance
<br /> Black stated, with Station 3 contract, that as of July 1, the Fire Department
<br /> was to carry $1,000.000, rather than $500,000 coverage; and that cost of
<br /> $1,000,000 coverage would be $35,000, for $2,000,000 would be $37,000.
<br /> Shoreview asked if Arden Hills was willinl to share in costs as coverage would
<br /> cover all stations. It was determined this matter would need full Council
<br /> action. Hicks asked who would pay if liability beyond $1,000,000; it was
<br /> determined additional costs would be at expense of cities.
