COUNCIL ACTION:
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor McMenomy
Council Members: Klassen, Staats, Willcox, Wippermann
FROM: Interim Administrator Wasmund
DATE: December 3, 1993
RE: University of Minnesota Fire Contract Renewal
The contract for fire protection services between the University of
Minnesota and the City of Rosemount expires on December 31, 1993.
Scott Aker Fire Chief and myself have met with Kathy Boudreau
Property Manager of the Rosemount Research Center to discuss the
renewal of the present contract.
The present contract establishes a base annual rate plus an
incident fee based on the equipment used to respond to the
incident. Our negotiations have been limited to these two fee
areas only. The current contract calls for the base annual rate to
be adjusted by an amount equal to the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
for each succeeding year. For the period from October 1992 until
October 1993 the CPI for the North Central Region is 3.90 (see
attachment).
The 1992 rate in the current contract was established. The 1993
rate is to be adjusted and established as $4,347 using a 411 CPI for
1992. Using that as the base for establishing the 1994 rate we
arrive at a figure of $4516 ( $4347 x 3.90 = $4516). Since it is
the intent to negotiate this contract every two years we can
estimate the 1995 payment by applying a CPI equal to 1993 and then
make an actual adjustment when the 1994 CPI is known. The current
contract has this provision for 1993.
The suggested changes to the equipment charges are as follows:
Though these changes may appear to be significant in some areas a
comparison of Rosemount's rates to the average in Dakota County
show that we are still about the lowest. The contract for services
with the City of Coates which has been approved by both entities
reflects the equipment rates as they have been proposed here.
Consistency between the two contracts for the equipment is
desirable.
These proposed changes have been discussed with Kathy Boudreau.

U of M Fire Contract
Memo for Dec. 7, 1993 City Council Meeting
The next step in the process is for the City to approve the
changes by execution of a revised contract document and passing
three copies of that contract on to the University for their
approval and execution.
In the event that the contract is not fully executed by January
1, 1994 it is the intent of myself and Fire Chief Aker to provide
continued service for protection until such reasonable time that
the University can process the contract.
I have attached a copy of the contract with the changes
highlighted for your review. I recommend approval of the
contract.
