contains a two -month buffer, which should be adequate. Another option is to extend the closing <br />date of the OMC site, if needed. <br />Councilmember Kuzma asked if Fire Station No. 2 will provide additional benefits to residents <br />with lower insurance rates. <br />Fire Chief Kapler explained that in this area, the ISO insurance rating is at 5 and Fire Station No. <br />2 will not change that rating as no new services are being added and the ambulance also does not <br />improve that rating. He stated it is their goal to get an ISO rating of 4 even though there is not <br />much of a financial savings between the two. Fire Chief Kapler stated having an ambulance at <br />Fire Station No. 2 will reduce response times by five to seven minutes when compared to <br />response from the Anoka Fire Station. <br />Councilmember Riley stated there is an extra one -half bond payment added to the first year and <br />asked if an interfund transfer is an option. <br />Finance Director Lund stated that payment would be about $59,000 and she thinks it would be an <br />option to fund internally. She explained the debt service was originally proposed at $299,000 <br />and it is now $310,000 so it is fairly close. Finance Director Lund stated she can run the <br />numbers to determine what that savings would be. <br />Asst.

City Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama stated once the Council <br />awards the contract, the general contractor would be in construction and construction <br />administration will be part of the contract with BKV Group. <br />Informational; no action required. <br />2.02: Discuss Council Organization <br />City Administrator Ulrich reviewed the staff report and explained the purpose of this Case is to <br />determine to which Committees, Boards, and Authorities the Council Members will be <br />appointed.
