etc.)
There were no updates.
B. Fire
1). Fire Relief Association - Verbal
Darrick Asleson, Albertville Fire Relief Association, reported the 2016 relief numbers indicated the
association is 1 O9% with investments growing, He stated that they do not have the final 2017
numbers at this time. The association hopes to propose a $200 increase-, however, once they receive
the 2017 numbers, they would come with a formal request, He stated there would be no impact to,
the levy.
Cocking inquired about past increases and comparison to similar sized departments in terms of
payout. Asleson would need to pull the past ten years to be sure. Bullen stated that Albertville has
less liability, but other cities have greater assets. Bullen stated that most cities try to keep the
funding around 110%.
Cocking felt the firefighters aren't in the department for money purposes, so he felt the city could
and should be able to provide a higher benefit level when -firefighters leave the department. Vetsch
cautioned making any sudden changes and wants to be clear on impacts to the city' s, budget.
Nafstad reported there have been two or three increases in the last five years and Hendrickson
clarified that prior to that, it had been many years since any increase.
Lannes reported there would be no financial impacts if the $200 were approved. Nafstad stated that
budget pension reserve would not need to be changes to maintain the 20% goal. Council discussed
investment details.
Hendrickson stated she was not opposed to the increase. Nafstad suggested this be an annual
discussion item and Asleson reported that the membership and relief board would like to continue to
discuss annually as part of city budget discussions. Council agreed.
