In light of the annexation of the Property by the City, this engineering study will have a significantly reduced benefit to the Township.

POLICE DEPARTMENT BRADLEY J. LINDGREN, CHIEF OF POLICE BOX 268, 25 N.W, 1ST AVENUE ST. JOSEPH, MINNESOTA 56374 (612) 363-8250 EMERGENCY 911 DATE: Sept. 9th 1992 TO: The St. Joseph City Council FROM: Chief Lindgren SUBJECT: POLICE BUDGET (INFORMATION) Dear Council Members, There are three items I wish to bring to your attention for your information and consideration in approving the 1993 budget. I offer you this information as all three items may very well come up in 1993, and it has an impact on the police budget. I believe it is my responsibility to make you as informed as possible. . 1. Police salaries, old vs. new step system. The new step system effects each officer with the exception of Jean, she is currently on the new system. The police department is on line with the 1992 budget, with 50% expended for the 6 months of 1992. If each officer is placed on the new step system at their current, 1992 status, it will increase the salaries by approximately $5/700.00. This DOES NOT include any step increase for 1993, or any cost of living increase in 1993. At the last budget meeting, salaries were increased by $ 2/597.00 from 1992 to 1993. 2. Legal fees: The offer for a shared prosecutor is contingent upon two other cities, and as of this date it looks like waite Park may not go along with it (3 to 2). I could talk to John Scherer, and see if they would shoot us a contract price vs. the unknown price of the hourly rate, please advise on this subject. 3. Training: Hopefully this should be fine. However, for 1993 an increase of $500.00 to salaries in the event we need to train another DARE Officer could be considered. I have spoken at leng~th to Jean con- cerning her current and future status with the department. Although with DARE, secretary duties, and part time patrol, she comes close to full time, but without the benefits and a regular set schedule. (she is still an "at will" employee) In reality, DARE Officers are in high demand around the state, and Jean is an excellent officer. It is hard to believe (as much as I would like to) that Jean would not take a better job at a larger dept. . if she were offered one before 1994. Again, I offer you this information for what it's worth. If you shoul< ~~ve any questions, as always, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, ~ Bradley J. Lindgren, Chief City of Sarte[[ 310 SECOND STREET SOUTH· PO BOX 140 . SARTELL MN 56377-D140 September 4, 1992 Rachel Stapel ton Clerk-Administrator City of St. Joseph PO Box 668 St. Joseph MN 56374-0668 Dear Rachel: . Recently the City of Sartell was approached by Janelle Kendall who is offering to provide criminal prosecution services to Sartell, Waite Park, and St. Joseph. In her letter, she indicates that she would only be able to provide the criminal prosecution services at the fees quoted if all three cities participated and contracted with her. The City of Sartell is interested in participating in this arrangement and is wondering whether your city is interested in this arrangement as well? The City of Sartell has not yet committed to Ms. Kendall as we wish to solicit bids from other local firms, however the city is very interested at looking at different arrangements for criminal prosecution services to lower costs. Please let me know whether or not you are interested in this type of shared criminal prosecution services. S[~l~ Robert Therres City Administrator . RT/pls .
