Joint Powers Cities <br />Report on Suburban Alliance, Page 4 <br />1995 Obligations <br />Emergency Scivices Providers <br />Federal Emergency Mgmt.

Estimates of the total amount for which <br />the joint powers cities are liable range from $100,000 to $177,000. A spreadsheet is <br />attached which shows the potential obligation of each city, based on population. It <br />assumes that the cost of debt repayment and close-out costs will be around $130,000. <br />TWs number does not include any obligations for the remainder of the office space lease, <br />which could be as much as an additional $130,000. We do not yet know how or when the <br />city obligations will be paid, but our intent is to finalize the obligation number before <br />December 31, 1996. The first priority will be debt repayment to the emergency service <br />providers. <br />Hennepin County has indicated its willingness to assist the cities with close out costs by <br />continuing its planning and coordination funding for Suburban Alliance through the end of <br />1996. This funding will help reduce the overall obligation of each city. <br />The current Suburban Alliance office manager will assist with the agency close-out <br />through the end of the year. This individual will administer the emergency services <br />contract for Hennepin County until the end of 1996. Hennepin County is exploring <br />options available for emergency services for the first six months of 1997. It is likely that <br />either the north or south human services planning boards will manage the emergency <br />services contracts through June 1997. <br />The joint powers cities feel strongly that an independent audit of the agency’s books is in <br />order, both now and at the agency’s dissolution on December 31, 1996. The audit will <br />determine the final financial obligation of each joint powers city. A CPA fanuliar with <br />human services planning boards and non-profit organizations may be used to conduct <br />these audits.
