Fuel bills and budgets challenge east metro cities and counties
The ones that aren't burning up money set aside banded together to buy gas and diesel in bulk. ... In Ramsey County, the Parks and Recreation Department alone is likely to come up $40,000 short in gas and diesel expenses by the end of the year, said department director Greg Mack. More cities and counties are joining forces to buy fuel in bulk, as Woodbury did this spring. Woodbury's involvement with St. Paul and other east metro cities in a purchasing consortium already reduced its gasoline and diesel costs by $7,764 on its first fuel order. Roseville, Maplewood, Shoreview, New Brighton and Ramsey County also belong.
