Motion carried unanimously. <br />DISCUSSION - LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES' IMPOSITION OF <br />INSTITUTIONAL FEE ON LMCIT <br />Ciernia explained that the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance <br />Trust is an insurance pool which provides insurance for <br />Minnesota cities and is an arm of the League of Minnesota <br />Cities. Since the League provides services on behalf of the <br />LMCIT a 1.5~ institutional fee is being charged to cover the <br />cost of these services and several cities have expressed <br />opposition to the charge. Carol Carlson, a member of the League <br />Board, explained that she had voted for the charge to help <br />defray costs of special projects, however, she was of the <br />opinion that some board members might be willing to reconsider <br />the matter. Wallin felt that there should be more direct <br />accountability of cost rather than the generic percentage. <br />Council agreed that there should be direct user cost <br />relationships and objected to the present system. Carol Carlson <br />will present the Council's views to the League Board. <br />PURCHASE OF NEW COPY MACHINE AUTHORIZED <br />Kelly explained that purchase of the Konica 3290 is being <br />recommended due to the fact that it is user friendly, the price <br />is competitive, and it will be serviced by our present service <br />department with whom we are satisfied. Wallin moved <br />authorization to purchase the Konica 3290 at a cost of $7,433 to <br />be funded from proceeds of the Capital Notes which are to be <br />issued in the near future. Motion carried unanimously. <br />ESTABLISHMENT OF A SPECIAL REVENUE FUND FOR POP MACHINE REVENUE <br />Wiessner explained that a committee of city employees has <br />recommended that either (1) the price of the pop be lowered to <br />actual cost, or (2) keep the price high enough to generate a <br />small profit and set up an employee fund with the proceeds. <br />Following discussion at a staff meeting, the City staff agreed <br />to request that the pop machine revenue be placed in a special <br />revenue fund for the purpose of employee recognition. Council <br />unanimously agreed to the establishment of a Special Revenue <br />Fund and authorization of expendidtures from the fund for <br />purposes such as: employee picnics, holiday .parties, flowers <br />for special occasions, kitchen items, etc. <br />ADJOURNMEMNT <br />The meeting was adjourned at 9:17 P. <br />- _~~ ____ <br />Pau Ciernia,i Acting Mayor <br />,~ <br />ATTEST: <br />~ ~ ~": <br />_. ~ _ <br />Shirley Cheno eth, City Clerk <br /> <br />
