, . • . . . MINUTES OF ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD MARCH 12, 1990 • POLICE VEHICLE ACQUISITION CONTINUED attachment in 1988. Bernhardson felt that having the information typed up would perhaps lead Councilmember Peterson to believe the information had been gathered recently rather than having been planned some time ago. Peterson indicated that she would like to be provided with information explaining how the determination is made to replace the squads. Bernhardson said that with the exception of 1988, three squads are replaced every year. Bernhardson said there are five squads assigned to patrol officers which accumulate the majority of the miles driven. Callahan indicated that if there is an established method for replacing the squads, that the assignment of the vehicles should be left to the discretion of the Police Department. Callahan said that Peterson's motion may interfere with the regular functions of the Police Department and questioned whether it was Council's place to do that. Motion, Ayes -2, Grabek, Callahan, Nettles, Nay. Motion failed. It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Councilmember Nettles, to accept the recommendation to continue with the Master Plan of replacement developed in 1987 and that the Master Plan be presented in a form that is more easily read and understood. Motion, Ayes -3, Peterson, Goetten, Nay. Motion passed. 1990 WAYZATA FIRE CONTRACT Councilmember Callahan asked what area of Orono the Wayzata • Fire Department served? Bernhardson informed Callahan that the Wayzata Fire Department served the area off of North Ferndale and a portion of West Ferndale. Callahan said that it appears the City of Long Lake is proposing to build a new facility for its Fire Department. Callahan anticipated that Orono may be asked to assist with the funding of the new facility. Callahan indicated that he is not in favor of supporting the new facility. He suggested that Orono be prepared to have an alternate source of fire coverage should Long Lake decide not to serve Orono. It was moved by Councilmember Callahan, seconded by Councilmember Goetten, to approve the fire service contract with the City of Wayzata for 1990. Callahan directed staff to look into an alternate source of fire service should Long Lake wish to terminate its agreement with Orono. Motion, Ayes -5, Nays - 0, Motion passed.
