E. ASSESSMENTS
Patrick Kelly handed out information entitled "Special Assessment for Local Improvements"
and reviewed it with the Council. There were numerous questions.
E1. 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.
