Consideration of Resolution No. 98 -120, Transferring Funds from General Fund to Gas Utility Fund for Closure - Ms. Vaske explained that by the late 1980's, the City was researching into owning it's own gas utility. In 1997, the route changed to investigate the option of collecting franchise fees from gas utilities other than Circle Pines. The City currently receives about $40,000 from Circle Pines each year. Ms. Vaske stated that because the City has changed its course, the fund should be dosed as it will not be an enterprise fund. The expenses to date are for legal help in exploring the option of franchise fees. As the franchise fees from Circle Pines has been deposited in the General Fund, this seems the logical fund to transfer from.
