26 May 1999 <br /> Fellow Council Members & Staff: <br /> Interesting meeting the other night of the Tri -City Task Force <br /> (Police ). It was Monday 24May99 from 7 -IOPM at Circle Pines, <br /> Jim March from Centerville was not there, but Dale Summerhouse <br /> & Robert Wright (Citizen Representatives) and myselfwere there. <br /> 1. Items discussed were the funding formula, it will be split on a <br /> Factor based on calls 40%, population 40% and the IACP <br /> (International Association of Chiefs of Police) formula of 20 %. <br /> The IACP formula looks at the type of calls and then recommends <br /> how many officers should be in a area to handle these sort of <br /> crimes (NOTE: Based on the present it is recommended : <br /> Centerville 3.71% officers <br /> CirciePines 5.39% officers <br /> Lexington 6.10% officers <br /> The task force is recommending that the above funding formula be <br /> approved. <br /> 2. Next was the asset issue of how much Centerville should pay to <br /> buy into joining the other two cities in a tri-city police department, <br /> the initial amount was assets value of $293,000.00, taking the <br /> value of the vehicles which are leased and a couple of other things <br /> (The military sedan, That I obtained for them for a $1.00 was also <br /> taken off the list). Then valuation based on the age of things, it <br /> got down to $35,922.89. I was then asked how much we <br /> (Centerville) was willing to pay? I stated zero, based on being <br /> under contract since 1991 and felt that we have been paying for <br /> these items all along. Lexington wasn't too happy with my zero <br /> amount, but Councilmember Phil Korst said how about $1.00, <br /> which I agreed too, there was a bit of discussion, but the Task <br /> force agreed to recommend to the City Councils of a $1.00 buyin. <br />
