The memo covers the options con- cerning the budget in relation to increased contract coverage I and/or a full-time CSO for 1989 . As you will note on the third page of the memorandum, I listed three options for consideration by the Public Safety Commission: I1 . Going with 24 hour coverage as passed by Council to include the two part-time CSOs and no full-time CSO for 1989 . I 2 . Staying at the 1988 level of 21 hours of coverage and employing a full-time CSO for 1989 . 3 .

The formula presently uti- lized by the County to determine levels of service suggest that I populations between 8 ,001 to 9 ,000 requires 24 hours of service and populations between 9 ,001 and 10 , 000 would require 27 hours of service. The formula states that three minimum patrol hours for each additional 1,000 population must be added. With this in Ii mind, Option 2 was not considered a viable option by the Commission. The discussions by the Commission centered on Option 3 with the resulting motion made and unanimous passage for recom- mending to the Council Option 3 . ' I •1 �,t CARVER COUNTY COURTHOUSE 1 ALLEN J. WALLIN 1; ;IV Carver County Sheriff \ 600 EAST 4TH STREET - BOX 9 CHASKA, MINNESOTA 55318-2190 (612) 448-3435 r�N E 50�� COUNTY Of CA1NEQ I July 5 , 1988 Mr. James Chaffee Director - Chanhassen Public Safety 690 Coulter Drive Chanhassen, MN 55317 Dear Mr. Chaffee, The City of Chanhassen is experiencing growth. both in the form of increased commercial development and residential expansion. According to Barb Dacy, City Planner, in the fast five years the population has increased from 7 , 137 to approximately 9. 500. In the same period , the level of police service purchased from ' the city has increased from 18 hours to 21 hours per day . It is anticipated that with the continued population increase. I downtown development, and increased traffic flow, Chanhassen is again at a point where additional police service is needed. As we have discussed. I am recommending an increase from current 21 hours per day to 24 . With a 24 hour contract , the city receives uninterrupted police service versus the current situa- tion where the Chanhassen squad has 3 hours per day of response outside the city. From a logistics stand point, the city is too large geographically and population wise to have fess than 24 hours a day protection. Additionally , we will be adding a power shift . The current proposal is to run a 10 hour per day shift ( Wednesday-Saturday ) I I from 5 :00 P.M. to 2:00 A .M. This will be a K-9 unit. I I Ii JUL 081988 Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer CITY OF CHANhASSEN II A review of calls for service made to the Sheriff ' s Office by Chanhassen residents showed the following: ' YEAR #CALLS FOR SERVICE PERCENTAGE 1980 3 , 263 1981 3 , 241 - . 67 1982 3 , 547 + 8. 63 1983 3, 500 - 1 . 34 ' 1984 3 , 558 + 1 . 64 1985 3 , 553 + . 15 1986 4, 225 +15 . 75 1987 4 , 048 - 4.47 ' The figures._. regresent a 19 . 7% increase in calls for service from 1980. The Sheriff 's Department has enioyed providing police service to the residents of Chanhassen . We will continue to work diligently in providing professional service at a reasonable cost. The 1989 ' cost per hour will be approximately $32 . 53. *lea-e contac me with any Questions You have relative to this proposal . Re .ect ully !ebry1j Chief 'eputy JC: pr _., ....,,,. ....,.

DATE: October 10 , 1988 SUBJ: 1989 Budget 1 As stated during our budget worksession, the 1989 Budget is $57,000 out of balance. The Council asked staff to look at 1 various alternatives in an effort to correct the $57,000 short- fall. The following represents this office' s recommendation as to items which can be added/deleted in an effort to achieve the 1 balanced budget: Account Proposed Code Description Change 1 Revenue 101-3001 Property Tax (Adjust proposed $42 ,000 II taxes to current 26 . 67 mill levy level) I 101-3011 Delinquent Property Tax (reduce $ 6 ,000 to current 4% level) • 1 Expenditures 11 101-113-4703 Office Equipment (move to building ($ 2 ,000 .00) ; account) 101-121-4705 Other Equipment (move to City Hall ($ 2 ,000 .00) expansion account) II 101-126-4240 Uniforms and Clothing ( reduce to ( $ 1 ,500 . 00 ) $1500) 1 101-131-4703 Office Equipment (reduce to $1,000 ) ( $ 1 ,000 . 00) 101-152-4340 Printing and Publishing (move Comp ( $ 2 ,500. 00) 1 Plan to Administrative Trust) t Total $57 ,000 .00 1 -, > . . --r....i.:: -..... . a... v..a.a .... 1 0 I Mayor and City Council October 10, 1988 11 Page 2 ' The above modifications were, for the most e part, discussed during h our worksession. Other questions raised by the Council regarding I expenditures in the 1989 budget represent errors in the commen- tary rather than errors in the detail expenditure. Therefore, except for changing the commentaries, no change is proposed. The one item I have circled, but not addressed above, is the cost of physicals for firemen. I am attaching a copy of the proposal from Waconia Hospital to establish baseline standards for each of 1 If our firemen and thus insure that the City can initiate a program .:•..:, of setting physical fitness standards while not creating a poten- tial liability for having demanded a standard which could create ii physical harm to an individual fireman. The physical fitness II U program, in combination with the new facilities being built, could establish a unique means of combining fiscal facilities , standards , and training. I am also attaching a copy of the actuarial report for the pro- posed modification to fire relief benefits . As noted during our worksession, the request from the Fire Relief Association is one I of providing increased benefits while still staying within existing budgetary limits . Should the Council act to approve the 1989 Budget, which includes the proposed increase, the by-laws I for the Department will be modified and returned to the City Council for final action . At the end of the worksession, the Council discussed the poten- 1 tial of reducing the police contract from 24 hours to 21 . This would have the effect of saving approximately $36 , 000 . This office questions whether such is an option in light of the fact I that the contract requires any community in excess of 8 , 000 popu- lation to have 24 hours of coverage. The most prudent means by which this alternative could be explored is to adopt the budget I as recommended above. This recommendation provides the greatest flexibility to the City, i .e. if the City is successful in gaining approval of the County Board for a reduction in hours to 21, the Council could consider the addition of a fuiltime CSO at I that point in time. By contrast, if we were to not approve the changes noted above, the City could be in a position of being $12, 000 short if the County denied the request or if we decided Ithat 24 hour coverage was more effective than a CSO position. Approval of the 1989 budget with the correction shown above is recommended. I . 1-a--Jor -, e 1 1 ,,, '=>a,7x 'h, . ,,, ,...„,;..,,c;."-. .., , _. , .....i.„,;;...:.. _. , - - .

' 5 ) The term of this contract shall be January 1 , 1989 to December 31 , 1989 . ' On or before August 15 , 1989 , the County or the Sheriff shall notify the Municipality of the best estimate of the per ' hour rate effective for the proposed 1990 contracts . The Municipality shall then determine whether or not it desires to re-enter into a contract for police services for the ' following year. In either case, the Municipality shall notify the County of its intention not later than October 1 , 1989 . Said notice shall be in writing and shall be received by the Sheriff or his designee at the Carver County Courthouse, 600 East Fourth Street, Chaska, Minnesota, 55318 .

' 7 ) For performing the services contemplated hereby, the Municipality agrees to contract for hours for the year 1989 , and to pay the actual cost thereof. The estimated hourly rate for 1989 is to be $ 32.32 for an estimated total yearly payment of $ for the year 1989 , one-half ' thereof ( $ ) to be paid on or before June 30, 1989 , and the remaining one-half ( $ ) to be paid on or before November 30, 1989, at which time the Municipality shall receive credit for its share of any benefit to which it may be- come entitled pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 69 . 011 (as amended) . 8 ) As soon after the end of the year 1989 as reasonably practicable, the County will perform calculations to determine if the estimated hourly rate of $ 32.32 reflects the actual cost of hourly service . The County will promptly notify the Municipality of said actual costs , and thereupon , if the actual , 5 • 1 cost is higher than $ the Municipality will pay to the County the difference between the estimated amount and actual ' cost ; if the actual cost is lower than $ the County will refund to the Municipality said difference. In the event actual cost exceeds the estimated hourly rate, the Municipality may pay the difference within days of receipt of notice from the County of the amount due . If the ' Municipality cannot pay the amount due in full within days after notification, payment must be made in full, or in two in- stallments concurrent with the semiannual payments due for 1991 police contracts .

' In the event actual cost is less than the estimated hourly rate, the County shall refund to the Municipality the difference ' under the same terms and conditions stated in the preceding paragraph. However, if either party gives proper notice to cancel police services for 1990, the actual costs for 1989 police serv- ices shall be subject to the recapture provisions above.
