Fire Eauipment Renlacement Proaram The Fire Equipment Replacement Program began two years ago as a way to upgrade the Fire Department's fleet in a well planned manner. The 1991 Budget includes the replacement of the rescue vehicle and the refurbishing of a pumper. Since it began in 1989, this program has reduced the average age of the Fire Department fleet from 15.6 years to 10.9 years. Pavement Manaaement Proaram The Pavement Management Program (PMP) is a twenty year program begun in 1986. The first eight years of the program involve a major effort to reconstruct all roadways that are not in good condition. This phase will be completed in 1994. During the initial phase, the City will reconstruct approximately 3.8 miles of roadway per year, at an annual cost of two million dollars. In the second phase the volume of reconstruction, as well as the annual program costs, will be reduced substantially as the focus changes to preventive maintenance. The program has been very successful and well received, as demonstrated by the positive reaction of residents in completed neighborhoods, and by the fact that the requests from residents for street reconstruction exceed the level of funding for the program. Lawful Gamblina The proposed budget reflects the City's newly adopted Lawful Gambling Policy, which calls for the City to receive 3 percent of the gross profits of lawful gambling organizations for gamblinq enforcement and regulation. This will amount to approximately $55,000 in 1991. The funds will be used to offset the costs incurred by Finance and Police staff for monitoring, investiga- tion, and prosecution relating to lawful gambling. The Lawful Gambling Policy also calls for the City to receive 10 percent of the net proceeds of lawful gambling operations to be used for miscellaneous City needs. This will amount to approxi- mately $110,000 in 1991. The budget includes a new fund called the Special 10 Fund to account for this revenue. The Special 10 Fund revenue will be allocated by the City Council in a process separate from, but similar to, the budget process to occur later this year. FaTcon Heights Police-Service The agreement to provide Police Services to the City of Falcon Heights was initiated in 1990. The Police Service provision plan and budget called for the addition of Five Patrol Officers in 1990, and the addition of an Investigator and a 1/2 time Clerk in 1991 to handle the increased workload. The agreement has signif- icantly reduced the cost of Police Services for Falcon Heights. It has also enabled a higher level of service for Roseville resi- dents. The increased level of service is possible due to the restructur- ing of the City's patrol districts. The number of patrol districts was increased from three to four. 2
