Fire Advisory Board Meetina <br />Review Unaudited December 20241Year End Expenses <br />Long Lake City Administrator Weske gave a brief overview and highlighted some of the items <br />included in the unaudited year-end expenses for 2024. He noted that it looked like they will end <br />2024 about $99,000 under budget, which would be refunded to the member cities. He asked if <br />the member cities wanted to get a check or just have this amount credited to their next quarterly <br />bill. <br />There was consensus of the Fire Advisory Board to just apply the refund amount from 2024 as a <br />credit towards the member cities next payments. <br />Long Lake Councilmember Dyvik asked why they ended up under budget for the call volume. <br />Chief Heiland stated that in 2023 they had 507 calls and in 2024 had 467 calls, which was a <br />difference of 40 calls. He noted that in addition to that, it was also related to the manpower <br />because their overall numbers were down. He asked how many calls the Orono Fire <br />Department had for the last 6 months of the year. <br />Orono Fire Chief VanEyll stated that he believed it was around 96 calls. <br />Weske explained that it added up quite a bit on an hourly basis. He stated that this information <br />did not show the roll up information, so he would send out that information to the FAB. <br />
