<br />CenterviUe City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />March 26, 2003 <br /> <br />Mr. Keinath reviewed what the Administrators had determined would be the expenses <br />involved. He then noted that the Centennial Lakes Police Department would be looking <br />at expanding the facility if this merger does not move forward. <br /> <br />COlUlcil Mernber Broussard Vickers commented that originally the current year payment <br />for Lino Lakes was $2.5 million and now is down to $2.4 million. <br /> <br />Mr. Keinath indicated that updated information was received and that is why the amounts <br />are different. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar commented that this could end up costing more than proposed so <br />the savings of $429,000 may not actually be that high. He then said that he is concemed <br />with ensuring that Centerville's coverage remains the same or better than it is now. <br /> <br />Mr. Keinath indicated the ultimate cost will be decided by the four cities to the extent the <br />cities are willing to spend more than the proposal costs could go up. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar asked if part one and two crimes was an accurate way of <br />determining coverage. <br /> <br />Mr. Keinath explained that the existing agreement works on total calls and there was an <br />interest in finding an alternative. <br /> <br />Council Member Lee asked when the new numbers would be reworked and new <br />formulation options considered. <br /> <br />Mr. Keinath indicated that if the four cities decide to proceed then there would be many <br />different runs and different examples. <br /> <br />Ms. Waite Smith provided an overview of the facilities in Lino lakes explaining the types <br />of options available in the police department section of City Hall. <br /> <br />Ms. Waite Smith indicated it would not be necessary to remodel in the event the space is <br />filled because there is expansion space within the existing structure. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked what the estimated timefrarne for outgrowing <br />the space with a consolidated force would be. <br /> <br />Ms. Waite Smith indicated that two important factors would affect the growth of the <br />department the first is that Lino Lakes adopted a comprehensive plan slowing growth to <br />147 homes per year and the second is that the City has not been adding Staff according to <br />its five year plan due to budget constraints. <br /> <br />Page 4 of19 <br />
