MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 14, 2012
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Patrick Klaers, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Allina/Fire Department Fire Station#1 Update
Background/Discussion
Mayor Grant requested that a special work session be held to get an update on the Allina
ambulances being stationed at the Arden Hills fire station.
The City Council had an "emergency response - ambulance services" work session on
September 19, 2011, where one of the discussion points was the relocation of the station
where the Allina ambulances were located. The open house of the Mounds View Allina
station was recently held. Some Council members attended this event. With this
relocation to Mounds View, Allina has worked with the Lake Johanna Fire Department
(LJFD) to place an ambulance at Fire Station #1. With this ambulance stationing has
come some complaints about siren noise.
There are pros and cons to the ambulance running out of Station #1. Right now, road
constriction is a factor in response times. Mike Pintar (Operations Manager) and Jeff
Czyson (Director of Operations) from Allina and LJFD Chief Tim Boehlke will be at this
work session to provide an overview of the ambulance situation and to answer questions.
