City Council Minutes <br />February 3, 2014 <br />Page 6 of 9 <br />-------------------------- <br />Chief Klang explained that he has contacted the City of Emily to suggest <br />that the City of Pequot Lakes provide police services to Emily. The police <br />services would consist of hiring, supervision, training, licensing, benefits, <br />payroll, insurance, workers compensation, phone service, E-Charging, <br />permit to purchase applications and house watch checks. He stated that <br />the officer would work approximately 30 hours per week which would <br />include 780 administrative hours per year. Chief Klang stated that this is a <br />pilot project and he wants to ensure it is beneficial to both cities. <br />The Council had a concern regarding whether the City would make <br />enough money to pay for the services provided to Emily. Another concern <br />related to who would be responsible for the administrative work. Chief <br />Klang stated that it would not be a hardship on him or on the office <br />manager. The Council questioned whether it was wise to move forward <br />with this considering the turmoil in Pequot police staffing. <br />The Council also discussed the fact that this is a good opportunity to <br />collaborate with other agencies. <br />COUNCIL MEMBER GARDNER MOVED TO PURSUE PROVIDING <br />POLICE SERVICES TO THE CITY OF EMILY.
