MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING — AUGUST 26, 1991 <br />MAMW § REPORT — CONT. <br />Charles Kelley, Planning Commission Chair, questioned what <br />the contract is based on. <br />Kuehn noted that is was based on valuation strictly. <br />Kelley felt that this was unfair and the contract should be <br />based on population not valuation. <br />Jabbour noted that it was his understanding that they were <br />going to use the money collected from fire department burns for <br />the Long Lake General Fund rather than the fireman's retirement <br />fund. He felt that the Council should instruct the City <br />Administrator to look for emergency fire coverage. <br />Butler noted that Mayor Peterson had spoken to the Mound. <br />Fire Department and wanted to know if she was. discussing their <br />provision for retirement and' disability or about expanding <br />coverage. <br />Gerhardson noted that she was concerned about the retirement <br />fund. <br />Butler noted that in the resume of Mr. Moorse, one of the <br />things he has done was put together a voluteer fire department <br />and perhaps he could do it again. <br />Callahan noted that investigation was done by the former <br />Administrator as to satellite fire stations. This should be <br />looked into further. He wanted the current and future contracts <br />for both police and fire to be placed on the agenda for the <br />September 9th meeting._ <br />Jabbour asked if staff should be sending out RFPs for <br />attorneys regarding criminal procedures. <br />4 <br />Ca- llahan explained that Barrett had mentioned that it may be <br />better for Orono to have another criminal prosecutor, possibly <br />someone who does not have downtown rent payments, because <br />payments of fines and costs that are awarded to the City have <br />been cut down quite a bit. This should be put on the agenda <br />under the Attorney's report for the September 9th agenda. <br />12 <br />
