HILL <br /> -�. EN' S <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: September 20, 2010 Item Z.E. <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br /> FROM: Patrick Klaers, City Administrato <br /> SUBJECT: Staff Updates — Emergency Management Discussion, Community <br /> Development Director Search, and Sheriffs Services Annual Contract <br /> Review <br /> Emergency Management Discussion: <br /> I would like to discuss with the Council the idea of contracting out for Emergency <br /> Management Director services. This approach may be the one that best meets our needs <br /> and matches our available resources. Some neighboring communities take this contracted <br /> services approach. I have met with three individuals and I am ready to recommend <br /> obtaining a proposal from Lance Ross. Mr. Ross owns and manages Emergency <br /> Preparedness Resource Group LLC. Attached is some information on this group. <br /> Community Development Director: <br /> I would like to update the Council on the status of the search for the Community <br /> Development Director. I want to schedule a worksession for September 27, 2010 at <br /> 6:00 p.m. to meet the recommended candidate. An alternative would be for two Council <br /> members to meet with the candidate for 1/2 hour and then another two meet with the <br /> candidate. This may allow for better conversations and discussions. Assuming all goes <br /> well, the appointment will be on the September 27th regular meeting agenda. <br /> Police Services: <br /> The Ramsey County Sheriffs department provides the local police services in Arden <br /> Hills. Annual feedback to the department is provided by members of the Contracted <br /> Cities Group. Attached is the review from last year and the form for this year. Council <br /> discussion and feedback is appreciated. <br />
