Alder Bauman agrees it is a great concept, however the cost is quite high Alder Douglas inquires what is required of the City if wanting to proceed.

Review Resolution Post COVID-19 Recovery Action This resolution was approved in May 2020, and is to be reviewed at the first of the month by direction of the Council. Alder Beam doesn't believe this pandemic is over yet, and we should continue with the approved resolution, and proceed with another review next month. Alder Bauman expresses agreement. 2. Discussion and Possible Action on Long Term Fire Protection Contract with the Town of Monroe and the Town of Clarno Alder Douglas shares she is not comfortable with the short-term proposal agreed upon at last week's meeting. She would like to develop a long-term plan that is fair for all parties. She proposes to return to closed session for discussion. Alder Douglas makes a motion to enter closed session, seconded by Alder Beam. Representatives from the RFD and townships are present to share the proposal agreed upon last week with. Confirmation by the members that Alder Douglas is recommending the closed session would only include the Council members, then return to open session to share a proposal. There was a motion made at the last meeting for an agreement of what to propose tonight. Alder Bauman states that if Alders do wish to discuss alternative options for an agreement, this should be for future discussion and negotiations. Alder Binger agreed that the goal was to reach an agreement with the Monroe Rural Fire District (RFD) to allow for future discussion and development of a long-term agreement. Attorney Bartholf advises if the Council negotiates with the RFD, this should be done in open session. He recommends exchanging proposals in open session, then entering any closed session for discussion of negotiation strategy related to counter proposals. The Alders are agreeable. Alder Douglas and Alder Beam rescind the motion to enter into closed session. The City Council shares the proposal with the Monroe RFD that was agreed upon last week: a contract agreement for one year from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 with an increase in cost by 10% based off of the current contract price of $42,200. Further clarification shared the goal for this proposal is to allow time for a new City Administrator to be in place and involved in the development of a long-term contract agreement. The City Council is striving to determine the amount that is accurate and fair for all parties involved. By extending the contract for only one year, this will allow going through a budget cycle for the City to further evaluate and determine the accurate and fair cost to base the contract off of going forward. Alders further express and share their rationale for the proposal. Alder Binger inquires to hear from the RFD regarding their thoughts on the shared proposal. Chad Spotts with the Monroe Township responds and expresses his concerns regarding the City of Monroe distributing the cost for a highly rated fire department to the townships that do not require or necessarily see the benefits of the higher ratings. There is expressed concern the contract proposals are not fair for the services they are receiving. Alders continue to discuss their rationale and concerns with the current proposal shared. Alder Binger again directs the conversation to the RFD to hear more response to the current offer on the table. Alder Bauman reiterates there is a current offer that the RFD can counter or negotiate against. Town of Clarno representative, Collin Nack, responds that previous proposals have been shared with the City over the years. The Council advises unfortunately not all proposals were shared in detail with the full Council for consideration, and understands the frustration for continued negotiations. Some of those proposals were sent in when there were different Council members. Alder Hermanson asks for clarity regarding what the townships are currently asking for. Collin Nack responds that the Fire Board would have to meet and discuss before making any decision. If prior proposals need to be resubmitted, then would need to meet and discuss prior to submission. At this point, with this proposal, the City has shared a proposal and it is up to the Monroe RFD to determine what to submit as a counter offer. Discussed the safest distribution of a counter proposal is to the Mayor, City Clerk and City Attorney. They will then share with all Council members, as the Council members cannot discuss anything with each other outside of meetings. City Council will wait for the RFD and townships to return with their counter proposal. Timeline discussed and the RFD believes they will be able to return with a counter proposal prior to the next Council meeting on July 20, 2020. 3. BUSINESS: CLOSED a. Closed Under Wis.
