ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
August 9, 2006
Albertville City Hall
7:00 PM
PRESENT: Mayor Don Peterson, Council members LeRoy Berning, John Vetsch, Tom Fay,
and Ron Klecker, City Administrator Larry Kruse, and Finance Director Tina Lannes.
Also present: Street & Park Supervisior Tim Guimont, Fire Chief Steve Long and Assistant Fire
Chief Tate Mills
ABSENT: None
Mayor Peterson called the Albertville City Council Budget Workshop to order at 6:30 p.m...
The purpose of the workshop is to complete the preliminary 2007 budget.
Fire Department: Staff was earlier directed to lower the budget from the previous 27% increase
by maintaining the fire officer salaries at the current level; removing the full time ($50,000) Fire
Inspector/Fire Marshal and/or Chief and seek to have a more modest increase. The Council
requested staff to increase the fire relief contribution from $50 to $100.
Staff reported the budget presented does show an increase of 3.5% in fire officer salaries;
increases the fire relief contribution from $1,500 to $1,600; includes a $15,000 amount for a
pilot fire inspection program.
Chief Long and Assistant Chief Mills stated they were not in a position to negotiate the fire
relief contribution as there is a separate board that oversees the program. They both stated the
fire department is becoming more a job and the compensation is below minimum wage when
you factor all the time they put into it. Volunteers don't do it for the money, yet they want to be
treated reasonable.
Kruse stated there was not time to develop the fire inspection program in just a few days and
suggested funding an amount of money ($15,000) that can be used to implement a program test
program in 2007. That program might be getting the Building Official certified, perhaps one or
more of the fire men; contracting with a private consultant such as Futrell, or a shared position
with another community. Staff will work with the fire department to determine the needs and the
program implementation. In a year from now, the City can evaluate the future of an inspection
program. The $15,000 may or may not be enough, but it is an amount the Council, residents and
the City's we contract with can accept.
