2. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the City Fire Contracts with the
various township officials. Finance Director Henneke presented a brief overview of
the present formula, and a projected fee for 1984. It was generally the consensus
of the officials present that the costs associated with the Fire Department were fair,
and that the formula was also fair. Concerns were expressed however, concerning
the timing of the notification of fees in relation to the townships fiscal year, and
the possibility of the City going to a flat mill rate. City Staff was directed by
the City Council to investigate the possibility of establishing a means of notifying
the townships on a more timely basis.
3. Mayor Akin stated that the special meetings held between the City and the town-
ships were an excellent forum for discussing mutual concerns. Mayor Akin stated
that he hoped future ~eetings would be called by township officials to discuss
additional concerns.
4. The City's ambulance agreement with Divine Redeemer was briefly discussed. It
was the consensus of the City Council that the City investigate the possibility of
entering into an agreement with a different service organization. Jerry Stelzel
indicated that the Sanford Memorial board was considering establishing an ambulance
service of its own. It was the consensus of the group that a meeting be tentatively
scheduled for January 19, 1984 at 7:45 P.M. at the Dakota County Extension office
to discuss ambulance service.
5. The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 P.M.
