Council to order. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the
1992 Fire Contract between the two cities.
Mayor Walsh explained that Albertville has completed a long
budget process and have come up with realistic costs for the fire
department budget. The proposed fire contract with otsego is based
on the percentage of the assessed value of the total fire district

budgeted expenses. otsego's percentage is 28.234% of the budget,
or $27,588.37.
Several members of the otsego Council stated that although
they were not opposed to the way the proposed contract was
formulated, they could not justify paying a portion of the capital
outlay amount budgeted for a new building if Albertville does not
plan to build the new building immediately.
Mayor Walsh stated it was his opinion that otsegowas paying
for a service from the Albertville Fire Department and that service
charge is based on the total needs of the fire department,
including capital outlay items for future growth and expansion.
The Al bert vi II e Ci ty Counci I agreed to meet wi th the Fi re
Department as a whole to determine how they wished to proceed.
The otsego Council indicated that
decision on the fire contract before the
also stated payment of the 1990 and 1991

The joint meeting was adjourned.
The Council met with the Fire Department upon departure of the

consensus of the Fire Department members present to leave the
otsego's fire contract amount as presented, representing 28.234%
of the Fire Department's 1992 budgeted expenses.
