MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />DECEMBER 4, 1991 <br />RESOLUTION NO. 91-12-412 - APPROVING THE TRANSFER OF <br />$9,445.95 FROM THE CLOSED BOND FUND TO OFFSET DEFERRED <br />ASSESSMENTS AS RECOMMENDED BY THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by LaValle. <br />Ayes (4) Blesener, LaValle, Hanson, Collova. <br />Nays (0). <br />Resolution declared adopted. <br />AUDITING The City Administrator reported that the City has <br />SERVICES received some proposals from firms interested in <br />performing auditing services for the City. The City <br />Administrator reported that at this time, he is not <br />comfortable with making a change in this area, but felt <br />that in the future this function should be bid. The <br />Administrator reported that there is the opportunity to <br />saving some dollars in accounting fees by doing more <br />things internally. However, the Administrator felt <br />that bidding this function may be a year away. <br />The Council supported the position of the City <br />Administrator. <br />WATER & The City Administrator suggested that the Council hold <br />SEWER a workshop meeting prior to the next Council meeting to <br />BUDGETS review the proposed 1992 Sewer and Water budgets as <br />well as proposed rate increases. The Administrator <br />suggested that if there are rate increases, they be <br />implemented before the end of the year. <br />It was pointed out that the City does not know what the <br />rate increase from City of St. Paul will be. Blesener <br />suggested that the Council wait until January to <br />consider the necessity for a rate increase, and if <br />increases are adopted, they be made retroactive to the <br />first of the year. This is the process that has been <br />used in the past. <br />The City Administrator pointed out that the 1992 Sewer <br />and Water Budgets are a part of the total 1992 Budget <br />document which will be considered by the Council on <br />December llth. Those budgets have rate increases built <br />into them. <br />It was the consensus of the Council that the Sewer and <br />Water budgets could be adopted as part of the total <br />budget package on December 11th, but that increases <br />would be considered after the first of the year, with <br />any increases adopted made retro-active to January ist. <br />Page 3 <br />
