creative element of this partnership with the City in <br />developing a master plan for Navarre. <br />Residents are encouraged to volunteer, to get involved, as <br />this is what makes the community great. <br />The Council indicated the Mound Fire Department has provided <br />high quality fire service over the years, and the Council is <br />committed to maintaining and improving the quality of fire <br />service provided to the Navarre area. <br />The Excelsior Fire District will ensure high quality fire <br />service for the three year period during which new volunteer <br />firefighters will be recruited and trained, and the Long Lake <br />Fire Department will take over in 2007, with fully trained <br />volunteers operating out of the Navarre Neighborhood Fire <br />Station. <br />Neighborhood fire stations are becoming more prevalent as <br />important elements of effective fire service provision, <br />because they facilitate recruitment of volunteer <br />firefighters, and improve response times. <br />Building a fire station in Navarre will be a significant <br />investment for the City. <br />The return on thin investment will be quality fire service <br />and long term cost savings under an in-place twenty-year fire <br />service contract with the City of Long Lake.
