TO; <br />FROM: <br />DATE; <br />Mayor and City Council <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />September 24, 1993 <br />Ca <br />% <br />%O <br />/ <br />% <br />v>>, <br /></ <br />SUBJECT: Fire Service Contract With the Cit’' of Long Lake % <br />I have attached a copy of the revised fire service contract with <br />the City of Long Lake. This contract reflects the various terms <br />that have been reviewed with the Council and worked out by the <br />contract committee which has included Councilmember Kelley, myself. <br />Mayor Tod Olson and Councilmember Hartfiel. The most significant <br />change in the contract is the term or duration of the contract and <br />the process for approving multi-year budgets as part of the multi­ <br />year contract. <br />The contract is a three year contract which means the city is <br />committing to obtaining fire service from the City of Long Lake for <br />a three year period unless the contract is terminated through <br />mutual agrecinent. The disadvantage of a three year agreement is <br />that the city loses some flexibility in terms of choosing a <br />provider of fire service on an annual basis. The advantage is that <br />a multi-year contract encourages a longer range perspective in <br />terms of the service relationship. It avoids having to re-open <br />major contract issues every year. <br />4
