City of I ong Lake Police Services Agreement Update <br />services of the Police Department. (See the "Basic Police Service" description - Attachment <br />B). <br />2. Supplemental officers. Because the level of service that can be provided through the <br />basic service level is not sufficient to handle the amount of activity generated by the types <br />of land uses in Long Lake, or to provide the community oriented policing type of service <br />desired by Long Lake; to supplement the basic service, the city of Long Lake contracts for <br />two supplemental officers who are assigned specifically into Long Lake for an average of <br />70 hours per week. <br />The costs for these two levels of service are as follows: <br />1.Basic Service. The city of Long Lake pays 13% of the total costs of operating the <br />police department, less the two supplemental officers provided to Long Lake and the <br />four supplemental officers provided to Spring Park. The 13% cost share is based on <br />a cost allocation formula with two factors —population and assessed market value. <br />The total cost to Long Lake for basic service is $136,240. (Please see the attached <br />cost allocation chart Attachment C). <br />2.Supplemental Officers. The city of Long Lake pays the costs of wages, benefits, <br />clothing and personal equipment, and worker compensation insurance for the two <br />officers. Other operating costs and capital costs such as vehicle purchase and <br />maintenance, fuel, support services, facilities, etc. are allocated under the basic <br />service portion of the contract. The cost to Long Lake for the two supplemental <br />officers is $112,610. <br />Questions Raised bv the Long Lake Police Commission <br />The initial question raised by the Long Lake Police Commission was whether Long Lake was <br />actually receiving 70 hours of supplemental officer service in their city each week.
