( * #13) ORDINANCE AMENDING SEC. 9.34' FIRE PROTECTION & • PREVENTION' - ORDINANCE NO. 121, SECOND SERIES It was moved by Goetten, seconded by Hurr, to adopt Ordinance No. 121, Second Series repealing Ordinance No. 116, Second Series and amending Section 9.34 adopted April 1, 1984 entitled "Fire Protection and Prevention ". ( #15) LONG LAKE FIRE CONTRACT Mr. Moorse explained that the contract is for 3 years, running through 1996. Major issues were resolved and this contract is a result of that process. Moorse asked if there were any questions regarding the language of the contract. Kelley clarified Article 9 -- it's a three year contract and the Council has to ratify the following year's budget. There are '94, '95, and '96 estimates which can be found on the last page. Moorse noted that if the budget is not ratified in the first year of the three -year contract, then the contract terminates two years forward. He went on to say that if the contract is not ratified in 1995, it automatically becomes the "not to exceed" number given for 1995 and then it would become the "not to exceed" number for 1996. If the budget is not agreed upon/ratified, the (3 -year) term would not be extended. Mayor Callahan and Moorse noted that budget figures are reviewed each September for the following year. If the budget is not ratified in 1994, City is bound by the contract for the years 1995 and 1996. Failure to ratify the budget or mutual agreement terminates the agreement. If City is dissatisfied with the service, then Council would not ratify the budget. • Hurr clarified that the contract calls for a. two year cancellation. She also asked what circumstances might call for termination of the contract. Mayor Callahan suggested that if Medina for example opted out of the contract, then the contract would be between Long Lake and Orono. Kelley is in favor of this contract for both Long Lake and Orono as it would be of mutual benefit. Hurr asked if Medina dropped out of the contract, Orono would not have to agree to a change in the numbers. Moorse agreed but added that they would probably come back with a revised budget. Mayor Callahan commented that there was a question about insurance. Moorse explained Paragraph 7 - the question was whether the 1.6 million policy includes the negligent acts and personal injury. Long Lake's Mayor said that's what it's supposed to mean and Orono's attorney agreed saying that. we need to include language to clarify that and present it to Long Lake. Mayor Callahan asked if Orono would be covered as additionally insured. • 7
