The Orono <br />Police Department has been providing contracted police services to surrounding communities for 30-plus <br />years, with the Cities of Minnetonka Beach, Orono and Spring Park currently receiving services. <br /> <br />Farniok stated the Police Department was recently approached by the City of Mound about the possibility <br />of providing contracted police services. Mound is interested in a 10-year contract, retaining their current <br />10 full-time police officers, and utilizing their public safety facilities in Mound as a satellite station. <br />Orono's priorities are to ensure patrol levels are equal or enhanced to Orono residents as well as the <br />residents of Mound and to maintain or enhance current service levels and programs. <br /> <br />Farniok stated by adding the 10 additional officers, they would be combining officer staff as well as <br />administration staff. Orono is currently at four sergeants and Mound has two sergeants. The deputy chief <br />position would be added. <br /> <br />Item #03 - CC Agenda - 09/10/2012 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 08/27/2012 <br />[Page 1 of 11]
