Police Services Proposal <br /> For the City of Long Lake <br /> Page 4 <br /> flexibility necessary to respond quickly to calls for emergencies and/or residents' <br /> concerns. <br /> Coverage Area <br /> The Orono Police Department has served the Long Lake community since 1967. We <br /> anticipate no changes to the coverage area. <br /> Reporting <br /> The Orono Police Department will present to the Long Lake City Council regular reports <br /> on activities, trends and concerns, and will attend public safety or city council meetings <br /> as requested by Long Lake. <br /> Community Relations <br /> The service plan will be reviewed periodically, and community input will be encouraged <br /> and welcomed to maintain a high level of service to the community. The Orono Police <br /> Department will address concerns, and if changes need to be made they will be <br /> implemented in order to maintain good relationships and to improve our level of service <br /> and the call times for the community. <br /> Included with this proposal are several maps showing the coverage areas and how we <br /> have integrated patrolling in the City of Long Lake. Because of the common boundaries <br /> of the cities of Orono and Long Lake, and the close proximity of our headquarters, police <br /> services will be continue to be highly visible to the residents and businesses of Long <br /> Lake. <br /> Part 1 (Basic) Service <br /> The cost for these basic services is proposed to be: <br /> Beginning January 1, 2011 $ 320,000 <br /> January 1, 2012 $ 325,000 <br /> January 1, 2013 $ 335,000 <br /> Future Contract Price Escalator Metric <br /> The Orono Police Department strives to contain costs while continuing to provide the <br /> highest levels of service. Under the terms of the Request for Proposal, beginning in <br /> 2013 we propose to use an escalating metric not to exceed 4.5 percent in any given <br /> year. Should labor market impacts require police officers compensation adjustments <br /> that are beyond a 4.5 percent increase, the annual percentage increase to Long Lake <br /> would remain capped at the 4.5 percent during the term of the contract. However, in <br /> the following years, if the budget for the police department increase is less than the 4.5 <br /> percent, Long Lake's cost increase may remain at 4.5 percent. Any yearly increases <br /> would reflect increases in wages, health care premiums, PERA and other increases as <br /> required in the operational budget. <br />
