<br />Councilmember Pc, arson inquired what thc By-Laws wen: palxemecl after.
<br />
<br />Mx. Floxter answered that the), were basically patterned according to State Statutes.
<br />
<br />Councilmcmber Cich asked why the By-Laws were being presented so late in the ,,'car if they have

<br />
<br />Mr. Hoxter explained that thc Fire Dcpartrncnt has been working on the By-Laws for about a year
<br />and a half but the money was not available to them before because their share when to Anoka and
<br />Elk River and now that it will be available to them, they would like it taken care of as soon as
<br />possible.
<br />
<br />Councilmember DeLuca stated there still seems to be a lot of questions and concerns regarding the
<br />By-Laws and he feels those should all be answered and worked out before a vote or
<br />recommendation is made.
<br />
<br />Mayor Reimann asked Bill Goodrich to find out if the date for completion (December 31, 1990) is
<br />locked in or if an extension can be applied for. He also stated he is reD, willing to work on the
<br />By-Laws to get them done by the end of the year.
<br />
<br />Motion by Councilmcmber Cich and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca to table this case until
<br />the December 1 lth. Council meeting pending a re, commendation from the Fire Board.
<br />
<br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor R¢imann, Councilmembers Cich, DeLuca, Pearson and

<br />Case #6: City Contribution for the Ramsey Fire Department Relief Association
<br />
<br />Motion by Councilmember Cich and seconded by Councilmember Pearson to table this case until
<br />the December 11 th meeting.
<br />
<br />Case ~'tT: Purchase of Equipment for the Ramsey Fire Department
<br />
<br />Dave Griffin, Fire Chief, stated that that following equipment is needed by the Fire Department: 1)
<br />Compressor, 2) Personal Gear, 3) Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (S.C.B.A.s), 4) 24"
<br />Portable Gas Fan; and 5) Heat Detection Unit. He explained that these items were not included in
<br />the 1990 budget. He reviewed each item and commented that these should all be included in with
<br />the start up cost. If the equipment requested is approved, the total start-up costs for the Fire
<br />Department would be: $493,594.00 (total expenditures and pending, $487.608.00, equipment
<br />requested in this case $15,486.00, less compressor in !991 budget -$9,500.00). The money
<br />allocated from the Landfill Trust Fund for the Fire Department start-up costs is $500,000.00.
<br />
<br />Discussion ensued regarding the difference in the compressor requested in this case and the more
<br />expensive one requested in the 1991 budget. Fire Chief Griffin felt that the compressor for
<br />approximately $7,600.00 would be a better value for the money. If the equipment is purchase~
<br />before December t, 1990, there ~"ill ~ a 4% savings as after the first, there will be a 4% increase.
<br />
<br />Motion bv Councilmember Pearson and second~ by Councilmember Cich to adopt Resolution
<br />?.-4<)0-11-3~6 approx-ing the purchase of the equipment reouested by the Ramsey Fire Deparrmem.
