Board Agenda Item 3
MEETING DATE: August 16, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: 2nd Quarter Treasurer’s Report
SUBMITTED BY: Finance
PREVIOUS BOARD ACTION: None
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Enclosed are the 2nd Quarter 2022 financial position for Board’s
review. The operational fund balance is a deficit of $11,375 as of June 30, 2022 (unaudited). The Fire
fund is mainly funded by contract revenue and levy from the City of St. Joseph, St. Joseph Township and
St. Wendel Township. The contract revenue is paid quarterly, levy is received in June, July and
December. The reserve funds include the 2022 capital budget of $79,600. Without the 2022 capital
budget, the deficit would be $68,225.
The 2022 fire fund revenue represents 34% of the budgeted revenue for the year. The main source of
revenue includes the contract fire service and levy revenue from the three jurisdictions. Interest earnings
show a reduction. The City records the fluctuation in the market value of the investments during the year.
The market value will go up and down over the term of the investments. Recent years realized increased
market values, but have been down since 2021. As the FOMC pushes up the longer federal rate, current
investments will show lower values. The current average rate of return is 1.8% APY. The Fire Dept was
successful in receiving a DNR grant in the amount of $2,447 to replace fire hose earlier this year.
The fire fund expenditures represent 17% of the budgeted expenditures. The expenditures are
operational. The first half fire call wages will be paid in July. As said above, the capital budget provides
funding for capital purchases in the 5-year capital equipment plan. The Fire Board puts money away each
year to help fund the future purchase. In doing so, spikes in the budget are minimized. Turnout gear
purchased for new firefighters is also reflected in the expenditures.
The City of St. Joseph received bids to sell the 2012 rescue van. One bid was received for $70,000 from
St. John’s University Fire Dept. SJUFD will submit payment upon receipt of the van when the new
rescue van arrives in appx. Oct of this year. The $70,000 proceeds will be allocated to replacing the grass
rig. The new rescue van was purchased solely by the City of St. Joseph and will remain a City asset.

FIRE BOARD Agenda Item
MEETING DATE: August 16, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: 2023 Preliminary Budget
SUBMITTED BY: Finance
PREVIOUS BOARD ACTION: Fire Board proposed increasing the Chief’s salary from $6,000 to
$8,000 annually and Assistant Chief’s salary from $3,500 to $5,000 annually.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The 2023 City budget process began in May 2022. The fire
department submitted their draft budget requests to Finance for discussion at the August 2022 Fire Board
meeting.
The Finance Director calculated the revenue needs for each community to cover the proposed operational
budget, capital request and the fire department debts. Each community received credit for interest
earnings and other revenues for the department and the rental of the community room were removed from
the figures. Included in the community room budget is the 2022 rescue van replacement budget that the
City of St. Joseph owns outright. The City of St. Joseph will fund the replacement reserve budget for this
piece of equipment. For ease of tracking, the reserve budget was placed under the community room dept
42281.
The allocation from each community was adjusted based on the agreement of scaling back the market
value from City of St. Joseph’s annexation of St. Joseph Township. For 2023, 20% of the annexation
market value is included in St. Joseph Township’s allocation. Estimated market values (EMV) were not
obtained from Stearns County prior to submitting the agenda.
The operational budget shows an increase of $31,155. A couple line items that increased include
accounting services, state aid reimbursement, operating supplies, motor fuel, liability insurance, and
repairs and maintenance. The accounting services is 5% of the Fire Fund 105 budget less capital reserves
and community room. The state aid reimbursement is offset by the 2% state aid revenue budget. Cost of
supplies and fuel were increased to due to inflationary pressures, along with repairs and maintenance.
The general liability insurance is an estimated increase from the insurance providers and includes the
additional pumper/tanker truck. Vehicle repairs and maintenance was decreased due to the City’s
mechanic versus contracted services. There needs to be a budget for vehicle repairs and maintenance to
purchase parts and supplies to maintain the equipment.
The wages and benefits budget is proposed to increase $41,760 mainly due to the firefighting salaries
were increased to reflect the Board’s recommendation for salary increases. Staff recommends increasing
the fire call/drill pay stipends from $16/hour to $17/hour. The increase will keep members similar to area
fire departments and provide some incentive to retain firefighters. A small increase is also proposed for
secretary salaries. The increased calls and fire regulations are adding to the reporting requirements. The
city council still needs to act on the wage changes. Also included in wages and benefits is time for
Public Works staff to maintain the buildings, grounds and equipment. In 2022, the City of St. Joseph
added a full-time lead mechanic to the Public Works staff. The mechanic will take over some of the truck
repairs and maintenance versus contracting the services out. The shift is shown in dept code 42260.
The capital equipment (CEP) summary is also attached. The 2023 capital allocation increased $37,450.

[PAGE 14]
The 2023 capital budget adds funding for the new pumper/tanker future replacement as is done for all
equipment. The new rescue van replacement reserve budget will be covered by the City of St Joseph as
stated earlier. This is part of the capital increase amount. A replacement budget was added for the crew
cab #6 pickup. The current truck is 16 years old. The ladder replacement reserve budget was added back.
The Fire Board opted to not replace the ladder truck in 2022 as was budgeted. The ladder truck will meet
needs of the fire district for a few more years. The pumper/tanker was added to the fleet versus replacing
the ladder truck.
There is a debt service budget was added in 2023. Equipment certificates were issued in August 2022 to
pay for the new pumper/tanker. The first payments are due in 2023. Allocation between communities
paying for the debt is the same as the estimated allocation for the fire department budget.
The 2023 proposed budget is broken down by community in the summary below.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: 2023 Draft Budget by Community:
City of St. Joseph $ 301,020
St. Joseph Township $ 91,710
St. Wendel Township $ 99,880

JUSTIFICATION: Account Code: E105-42210-581/582
To keep up with computer hardware/software needs, putting funds aside each year. Computers are used for
fire training lessons, weather reports, grant administration, reporting and various administrative tasks. A new
desktop computer was purchased in 2010 with connections to the City's server and electronic database. The
fire dept purchased 2 desktops in 2018, one in dispatch and one in the fire chief's office. The desktops are
connected to the City's server along with a scanner and new copier/printer. Funding to continue for future
replacements typically in 3-5 years for computer equipment. In 2014, the fire dept switched fire reporting
software from FireHouse to Image Trend to save $750 per year in support costs. With the change of the
Remote Desktop security, the Fire Chief added a Laptop in order to access the server from outside locations.
In 2019, 2 mobile iPads were added to fire vehicles that respond to most calls. The iPads provide real-time
reporting as responding to calls saving data entry time after the fact. The Fire Chief recommends adding 4
more iPads to the other vehicles as budget is available ($675/iPad).

DESCRIPTION: Fire Fighting Other Equipment
JUSTIFICATION: Account Code: E105-42220-580
As the fire fighting equipment ages, replacements will be required. This replacement fund is for items not
used directly for fire fighting, but rather supports the fire fighting efforts. This fund is to keep money in the
budget to help fund equipment replacements in the future without large spikes for the purchases. Unused
funds goes back into the equipment reserve fund. The Fire Board approved tiering turn out gear
replacement using this reserve fund. NFPA standards state that fire fighters turn-out gear is only good for
10 years. The Fire Chief has set up a timeline showing when the gear needs to be replaced. Each year,
there may be as few as 1 or 2 that will need to be purchased. Along with that, when a new fire fighter joins
the department and meets the minimum requirements, they are then fitted for their new gear. Each set,
which includes a pant and coat, costs about $2,000 each. The next scheduled big replacement is 2022 with
up to 7 sets/year. Boots and helmets are not included in this price as they will be reused when possible.
Boots and helmets were updated in 2015. Old turnout gear are kept as reserves or sold on auction.

JUSTIFICATION: Account Code: E105-42220-584
As the St. Joseph area grows additional fire and rescue equipment is needed to service the area. Accidents are
on the rise in the area. Good extrication equipment is needed to possibly save lives of those injured. The
department currently has 2 sets of extrication equipment. One set is approximately 20 years old, the other set
is about 12 years old. The equipment life will vary depending on usage. This budget is to set money aside to
the reserve account to replace the sets in the future as needed. The Fire Chief estimates replacement of a unit
in 2019. The equipment cost may go down due to the pump for the extrication equipment being added to the
2012 pumper truck. It may be possible to only pay for the tooling part of the extrication equipment in 2019.

DESCRIPTION: Replace Grass Rig #3
JUSTIFICATION: Account Code: E105-42220-585
Grass Rig #3 was purchased by the fire service communities in 1997 for $55,000. The rear end went out of the
rig in 2014 and a used rear-end was installed. The cost of fire fighting equipment continues to escalate by more
than the consumer price index. The Grass Rig is expected to be functional for approximately 20 years; therefore,
the replacement is scheduled for 2017, but believe the rig will last an additional 5-10 years. The Fire Chief
believes the grass rig may last longer than 20 years - based on the number of calls over time and the repairs made.
By 2017 a new rig is estimated to cost over $80,000. In 2019-2021 the Fire Board hired a grant writer to write a
AFG grant to replace the grass rig and expand the cab seating. The Firefighters feel going to a CREWCAB truck
will allow the dept to transport more personnel to the scene. The current grass rig allows 2 firefighters to be
transported; the extended cab will allow up to 9. We did not receive the grant in 2019 or 2020, so we wrote
another one in 2021. The grant response will not be until fall 2021. If a grant is awarded, the prior year funding
couple be reallocated to another needed piece of equipment like a second pumper truck. Some of the equipment
from the 1997 grass rig may be reused for the new rig.

JUSTIFICATION: Account Code: E105-42220-585
Tanker truck #4 was purchased by the fire service communities in 1999 for $107,594. The cost of fire fighting
equipment continues to escalate by more than the consumer price index. Tanker #4 is expected to be functional for
approximately 20 years; therefore, the replacement is scheduled for 2019. By 2019 a new truck is estimated to cost
over $300,000. Tanker #4 was purchased with a steel tank that began leaking shortly after the purchase. The city's
staff have made repairs to keep the truck functional. In 2012, the tanker was taken down to Rosenbauer in South
Dakota to fix a leak on the tank, and the top covers were redone due to water hammering damage. The repairs
were covered by the tank warranty. The repairs did not help. The tank was replaced with a poly tank in 2014 for
$31,749 by Rosenbauer. The leaking stopped and firefighters believe the truck could outlast its useful life now.
With the tank replacement, the useful life has been extended 10-20 years. The annual reserve budget has been
reduced to offset budget needs for equipment nearing their useful lives.

2023 BUDGET: $3,500.00 PROJECT CATEGORY Other Equipment
DESCRIPTION: Fire Fighting Equipment
JUSTIFICATION: Account Code: E105-42220-585
The Fire Department received an AFG grant in 2013 to purchase 16 new air packs, 32 air tanks, and 30 fire
fighter masks. The air tanks have a useful life of 15 years. To avoid a spike in replacing all 32 tanks in 2028,
the Fire Chief recommends replacing eight (8) tanks every three years starting in 2016, 2019, 2022, 2025,
2028. This would always leave the Department with roughly 40 tanks after the first 15 years. Each tank will
cost about $900 - $1,000. The Department sold the old tanks on the online auction GovDeals.com. Proceeds
were added back to this reserved account. Per the Fire Board, no tanks were purchased in 2016. In 2020,
CARES federal funding was used to purchase air packs and tanks to reduce chance of contracting COVID-19.
The purchase put the department back on track for air tank replacement schedule.

JUSTIFICATION: Account Code: E105-42250-580
The City switched over to 800 Mhz radios in 2007 and 2008. The fire department received 25 radios with a

were determined to be in good condition and widely used in Stearns County. The replacements were pushed
back until needed on a per radio basis (depending upon changes in public safety laws and practices). The cost
per radio is currently about $3,500 per radio with the programming. A couple radios have been replaced the
past couple years due to damage and malfunction. Redios were added in 2020 using CARES federal funding.

DESCRIPTION: Unexpected Building Repairs/Replacements
JUSTIFICATION: Account Code: E105-42280-530
The Community Fire Hall was constructed in 1997. As the building ages, replacements will be needed to
maintain a safe and proper function of the building. The roof has had over 3 leaks since the warranty period
expired on the building. It is likely the roof will need to be changed within the next 10 years. In addition, the
floor in the apparatus bay may need some repair or replaced in the next 10 years. The floor is showing a lot of
wear. This capital item allows for setting money aside in the building reserve fund until a major repair is
required. By setting money aside each year, the Fire Board will not feel large spikes in the annual budget.
McDowell Company inspected the fire hall roof in June 2021 indicating the roof will need to be replaced in the
next few years at an estimated cost of $150,000. Preventative maintenance and repairs have been ongoing to
extend the life of the roof. Increasing the budget to offset the new roof in 2025.
