Discuss Fire Department <br />City Administrator Dustin Rief introduced the item by reading out loud a letter he <br />developed in which he intends to send to Long Lake City Council regarding the Long <br />Lake Fire Agreement. The letter laid out three possible options for action related to the <br />agreement. Rief stated that he would like to have a formal discussion about the <br />agreement to get input from the City Council. <br />There was discussion regarding the pros and cons of each option laid out in the letter and <br />the affects each option may or may not have on the Long Lake Fire Department and the <br />City's they provide service to. <br />Mayor Dennis Walsh noted that presenting this letter with the options laid out to Long <br />Lake is a good start to developing a plan for any future services for an agreement. Walsh <br />also noted that there is a need for further research for Option Two if it would be the <br />decided option and that Option One would be a good choice and a manageable. <br />Council Member Richard F. Crosby II, noted that the letter should state that Option <br />Three, to do nothing, is the complete last resort for Orono. Crosby mentioned that Option <br />One or Two or some variation of each would be preferable. <br />Rief modified the letter to reiterate Crosby's request. <br />Walsh would like to hear feedback from the other City's involved. <br />End: 6:35 p.m. <br />
