lth LJFO representatives and reviewed cost estimates furnished
. by Fire Chief Koch for Option Two and Three. for a six month
period Option Two would cost $20,708 and Option Three $35,067. He
noted these figures are probably 25% too low. Under Option One
present cost Is $94,123 for 1977, cost would I nc rease from 6% -
20% each year under 5 year contraCT. An independent ap~ralser
would be used to determine value of equipment under Option Two;
Chief Koch gave rough estimate of $300,000 - $500,000.
Mayor Johnson suggested that Cities plan onl Y' for 1977 and noted
that 7 of the 15 people on the three Counci Is miflht not be Involved
after the November 2nd elections.
Wingert said that it made good sense to "do our homework" I n the
next 10 months and then deci de on alternative solutions.
McGraw suggested a letter of intent be prepared lneluding a date
of completion. This would allow ti,me for equipment appraisal and
developing mutually agreeable fee schedule.
ChIef Koch stated that I year contract was not avai lable at this
time, Board of Di rectors had agreed not to recommend I year
contract, matter would h~ve to be agreed on by Membership. The
$27,942 for veh i c ie depreciation/replacement .Quld not be "knocked
o'ff" the 1977 Budget of $94,123. If CIties dec I ded to go for
Option Two, Membership ml gh't go for a I year contract 'of $94,123.
. Ch I ef KOch s a I d he could agree to a 5-year contrect with option
to convert to either 2 or 3 within a specified time, oth e rw i sa
