--- --- Minutes of Special Council Meeting Monday, October I, 1984 Page Two Third Fire Station Mulcahy said he felt Arden Hills costs for the third station qualify as a capital improvement and should be spread over more years. Woodburn noted that the ultimate costs to the taxpayers increases as the capitalization years increase; at this time plans are to have the station operational in the fall of 1985. Hansen said that final decisions have not been reached as to whether the LJVFD will borrow money to finance it, whether cities will finance it directly or lease-purchase funding will be used; questioned whether costs for training and outfitting addit i ona 1 firemen qualify as capital improvement. It was noted that if the 1985 net budgeted amount of $100,000 is not . used, the Council can transfer any excess to some other account or fund. Police Service Contract It was noted that the Proposed 8udget for Public Safety indicates police service will be contracted with Ramsey County Sheriff. McNiesh said the resolution approving the Contract will be on the October 15th agenda. Adoption of Levy for Taxes Payable 1985 Rauenhorst questioned why Mulcahy had voted against the budget/ tax levy for taxes payable in 1984. Mulcahy said he voted against that levy because the Council had "backed into it", feels the Finance Committee recommendations for 1985 do the same thing, feels no levies should be made for future water tower, sewer interceptor, etc. until construction of improvement is imminent and authorized. Rauenhorest moved, seconded by Hanse, that Council adopt Resolu- tion No. 84-32, RESOLUTION APPROVING SUMS OF MONEY TO 8E LEVIED FOR LEVY YEAR 1984 PAYABLE IN 1985, AND AMENDING THE LEVY ON 1972 IMPROVEMENT BONDS SERIES 2 and 1977 GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS; levy is for the following purposes: Genera 1 Fund $761,173 Shade Tree Disease Control 6,-855 Water Util ity 7,383 Motion carried (3-0-1, Mulcahy obstained) Fall Program Personnel Mulcahy moved, seconded by Rauenhorst that Council approve hiring 1984 Fall Program leaders as outlined in Buckley's memo dated 9/24/84.
