<br />. <br /> ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 27 1998 DRAFT 3 <br />1 , <br />., ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS <br /> Mr, Fritsinger introduced Nancy Randall as the new Associate Planner. <br /> Mr. Fritsinger said there would be a joint meeting of the Arden Hills, North Oaks and Shoreview <br /> City Councils on August 19 at 5 p,m. The main purpose of the meeting is to discuss renewal of <br /> the fire contract with the Lake Johanna Volunteer Fire Department. <br /> COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> Council member Malone commented on the fire protection services Joint Powers Agreement as it <br /> is set up, He understood it would be in the same form for all the cities with some customization, <br /> He noted that the objective measures of the Fire Department in the old contract took up a great <br /> deal of space. He referred to a five-year threshold, Since under a Joint Powers Agreement, all <br /> the cities are members; he believed the budget should be presented as the entire budget for the <br /> Fire Department Councilmember Malone also recalled that the Council formerly received the <br /> budget for only the Arden Hills' portion. It was his belief that the Councilmembers should see all <br /> of the budget <br /> Councilmember Malone also noted there were references to obtaining city approval on capital <br /> expenditures of $1 0,000 or more, He understood, as the contract was written, it requires City <br />- approval of capital expenditures of$10,000 or more per City. He wanted that to be known. <br /> Mayor Probst expected this would be discussed at the meeting on August 19. <br /> Mayor Probst asked why the contract wasn't with the Joint Powers Board. Mr. Fritsinger said <br /> the Fire Department was not part of the Joint Powers Agreement; it is set up with each individual <br /> city, The Joint Powers Agreement is among the three cities who work on fire protection with the <br /> Lake Johanna Volunteer Fire Department. Mayor Probst noted it was unlike the 1-35W Corridor <br /> Coalition which enters into agreements rather than the individual cities. Mr. Fritsinger said that <br /> option wasn't pursued but staff could research it The contract was the same for all communities <br /> except for one paragraph. <br /> Mayor Probst expressed curiosity about why the Joint Powers Agreement was inclusive of all <br /> cities, but the contract was city-specific. <br /> Mr. Fritsinger explained that the Joint Powers Agreement addressed corporate issues, and <br /> included the Fire Department as part of the process and allowed them to be able to make <br /> recommendations to the various cities, The Joint Powers Agreement, unlike the 1-35W Corridor <br /> Coalition Joint Powers Agreement, doesn't have approval or denial power. Mr. Fritsinger <br /> explained that this type of Joint Powers Agreement and individual contract allow the Fire <br /> Department and each City the most flexibility for a long-term contract. <br />. Councilmember Malone agreed with the Mayor's point of view and indicated, ideally, that is <br /> how it should be set up but that would give the Fire Department the jurisdictional power to <br /> approve the budget, which the member cities may not agree with since it will interfere with the <br /> Council's ability to exert budgetary control. <br />
