FIRE DEPARTMENT ISSUES City Manager McGuire handed out a letter from the Maplewood Relief Association stating that the City's funding obligation had not been met. City Manager McGuire reviewed with the City Council the amount that Maplewood paid and the amount Oakdale and Landfall paid. He stated that it seemed apparent that the shortfall should be paid by someone other than Maplewood and, in fact, Maplewood has been paying more than our share for fire department operations and Relief Association benefits. The consensus of the City Council was that the City Manager should contact the Relief Association and inform them of the formula that Maplewood has been using and that the City Council would be requesting a joint meeting with Oakdale to discuss this.
