ity of TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: **ITEM 3.5.** MEMORANDUM Mayor & City Council ~ Lori Johnson, Asst. City Administrator~ Finance Director September 4, 1996 Approval of Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association Services Agreement for Participation in its Regional Safety Program At the last City Council meeting we briefly discussed the option of the city participating in Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association (MMUA) Safety Program. At that time the Council adopted a motion authorizing the City to participate in MMUA's program with funding to come from the Self Insurance Fund. I would now like to address the questions raised regarding the program as well as have the Council formally approve the Services Agreement. Attached for your review is a copy of the Services Agreement with MMUA. The Agreement allows for two days of on site services to be divided by the Utilities and the City. In order to have two days at each location (which we do not feel is necessary at this point) we would need to enter into separate agreements at an additional cost of $3,300 each. The Agreement outlines the City's obligations and MMUA's obligations on page three. Please keep in mind that the City is still responsible for providing training to its employees based on recommendations from the Safety Coordinator. Finally, the total cost for the program is $15,551.00. The fee is calculated based on a fixed fee charged to each entity participating plus a per employee fee. Using this same method to apportion the cost between the Utilities and the City, the City's share will be $10,039.30. Action Requested The City Council is asked to approve the Services Agreement between the City of Elk River and the Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association for participation in its Regional Safety Program. 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
