7 <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> To: Mayor and City Council <br /> From: Ron Olson, Finance Director <br /> Date: February 8, 2010 <br /> Subject: Police Service Contracts <br /> In December of last year, drafts of the proposed police service contract were provided to the <br /> contract cities. Minnetonka Beach and Spring Park discussed the proposed contract internally <br /> and sent it to their respective attorneys for review. Both Cities had some concerns with <br /> wording in various sections of the contract. Their concerns have been discussed and forwarded <br /> to Richard Schieffer; he is confident that acceptable language can be negotiated. Neither City <br /> has expressed concern about the formula. <br /> On Friday, a letter was received from the Mayor and Council of Long Lake. While they agree <br /> that the service district approach is "more effective and efficient" than the current approach, <br /> they do not accept the proposed formula as being an equitable way to spread the costs. They <br /> would like to continue to use the current formula which will result in significant cost increases <br /> to Minnetonka Beach and Orono. <br /> Included with this memo you will find: Long Lake's letter, the contract approved in 2003, the <br /> proposed contract, staff comments on the Long Lake letter, and 2010 financial information. <br />
