about 30 people in attendance and the next scheduled meeting is Wednesday due to Veteran’s
Day.
Mayor Stockamp said Public Safety will meet on Wednesday evening also due to Veteran’s Day.
CM Dunlap is concerned about the Fire Contract cancellations and does not feel a single station
is efficient and feels it undermines safety.
CM Dunlap motioned for City Council to direct staff to send letters to the City’s of Elk River
and Rogers that the City will not be cancelling fire services. Motion failed due to a lack of a
second.
City Attorney Kendall said the fire contracts were not on the agenda and staff are not prepared
to discuss, therefore there should be no discussion as staff Flaherty noted Interim Chief Scott
is continuing to engage with the Fire Chiefs from the neighboring departments and that once a
more concrete plan is developed that an update to the City Council would be appropriate .
