Wedell, at the City Hall, 4665 North Victoria, Shoreview, MN, August 23, 1986, at 9:38 a.m. Roll Call Present: Councilmembers Hansen, Sather, Clerk Administrator Charlotte McNiesh . Shoreview Mayor Wedell, Councilmembers McGraw, Sundberg and Weyandt Construction of Joint Fire Station The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the possibility of jointly participating in the construction of a fire station to serve the southern portions of our communities. Councilmember Hansen expressed concern about ending up with multiple contracts with Lake Johanna. She stated that Fire Consultant Bill Quirk had been very positive about using the existing stations and joining with Shoreview for the construction of another fire station. Councilmember Sather said Arden Hills needs to cover the central and southern areas of their community. He stated that the next option is to join with Shoreview for a station in the southern part. There are two ways that Arden Hills can do this. 1. Arden Hills can enter into a contract with Lake Johanna and have them lease space to Arden Hills. 2. Arden Hills could participate with Shoreview in the building, equipping, and manning of the station. There was concern expressed about the number of parties being involved and the possibility of eJperiencing further delays in the construction of the station. Councilmember Hansen stated some of the alternatives that were discussed in the construction or changing locations for a fire station to serve just Arden Hills. She stated that it would be advisable to have one station in a central location to serve both communities acknowledging the basic problem that there is no one good location. BudRet for Fire Station Councilmember Weyandt initiated a discussion regarding how the cities would pay for this. He suggested budgeting for individual stations such as Station #1 would be the complete responsibility of Arden Hills; Station #2, the financial responsibility would be split between Shoreview and North Oaks; Station #3 would be the responsibility of Shoreview; and Station #4 would be split between Arden Hills and Shoreview. Specific equipment for specific areas would be paid for by the main employers. This could be advantageous to various employers in the City if specific equipment would reduce insurance rates. Councilmember Sather said this may have potential if we could identify the savings. ,
