Mr. Schr°eder asked if there was any problem with them. <br /> <br />Sergeant Gustafson replied no. <br /> <br />Ms. Hart stated that the phone charges are Mike's extension and pager numbers and special <br />operations numbers. It should save you $160/month so maybe the estimate is a little high. <br /> <br />Chief Auspos stated that postage is up for extra mailings for Crime Watch, etc. The <br />cellular phone is a lot of money but it is well worth it. Mileage reimbursement - maybe will <br />have. Training is based largely on return from the State. Costs for legal notices are <br />probably due to liquor licenses. Machinery repair - he stated they have had a couple of <br />repair calls on their fax machine. Tire mounting - he stated they have a lot of flat tires due <br />to a growing community - there is a lot of building going on. The labor is for repairs. <br />Towing - at the present we do not have to pay any towing charges. Sometimes we have <br />gotten reimbursed on criminal tows. Dues should be $100 instead of $90. An allocation <br />for books is mostly for updated State Statutes to carry in the cars. Squads - three were <br />requested, we are paying for four. <br /> <br />Civil Defense - Chief Auspos stated that we will have to replace several batteries this year. <br />If tone boards start to go it will be very expensive. <br /> <br />Animal Control - Chief Auspos stated this requested number is purely based on past <br />experience. He added there is nothing new to report relating to the City of Anoka. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated we appear to be leveling off or dropping. <br /> <br />Chief Auspos stated he did not know why, but people seem to be claiming the animals <br />more now than before. <br /> <br />D.A.R.E. - Chief Auspos stated that $4,000 is requested, however, it depends on the <br />number of students. Employee training - Officer Singewald has an annual D.A.R.E. <br />conference. <br /> <br />Fire - Assistant Fire Chief Kapler stated he would like to return to wages and salaries. The <br />money requested for film, etc. is for purchasing and developing. He stated the Department <br />is doing more of it this year and it is very valuable. Office supplies - he stated he did not <br />know how come it was so high in 1993 but he feels that $200 is a good figure. Gasoline - <br />he felt that $2,000 may be a little high. Diesel fuel - He stated he was not really <br />comfortable with that number - it could be higher - maybe $1,200. Lubricants, etc. is so <br />low because they call on a preventative maintenance service twice a year. This is just <br />what's needed for in-between times. Uniforms have to be ordered to fit. He added they <br />will keep pushing their gear to the maximum but will be getting rid of two uniforms this <br />year. Batteries are for the hand-held radios. They are all nearly five years old so we will <br />be replacing them. First aid is basically for the rescue unit. Operating supplies is for <br />recharging extinguishers, etc. He felt there will be increasingly more maintenance items. <br />Other vehicle parts are compressors and so on. Other equipment parts is for small tools, <br />etc. Auditing and accounting is for the relief program. He inquired if the amount can stay <br />the same. <br /> <br />Ms. Hart stated she did not know. She is anticipating an increase in price so will put <br />$1,200 there. <br /> <br />Assistant Chief Kapler talked a bit about recruiting classes. <br /> <br />Ms. McAloney agreed that it works quite well. She summarized the process a bit and also <br />the time frame for the fire fighter to be "on board". <br /> <br />Staff Budget Meeting/July 21, 1994 <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
