274 Council Meeting December 13, 1982 After some further discussion, Mr. Marier moved to approve the animal control contract with White Bear Animal Control, Inc., for the year 1983. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Benson asked Mr. Schumacher to put together an appropriate contract with the stipulations that employees of the firm will appear in Court when requested. ENGINEER's REPORT 1 Mr. C. Wetzler of TKDA was present to present this report to the Council. Mr. Wetzler went through the report presenting the two alternatives for installation of the line to connect the Baldwin Lake Court to the lift station located at the end of Laurene Dr. If the line is installed at a greater depth, then a portion of the surrounding area can be served by this line. This portion of the cost would be the responsibility of the City. Mayor Benson asked if Mr. Howard had been informed of this report and Mr. Schumacher said he had had several meetings with Mr. Howard on this but he has not seen a copy of this report as yet. Mr. Schumacher requested that no decision be made on this until he can sit down with Mr. Howard and determine how he wants to handle the financing of this project. This should be on the next agenda. ATTORNEY'S REPORT Mr. Hawkins reported that Mr. Wilson had filed an appeal with the Supreme Court. He said he would not recommend a settlement of this case at this time. Mr. Locher has been handling this case but the file has been transferred to Mr. Hawkins. He will handle this from this point. 1 RESOLUTION NO. 82- 23- TRANSFER OF FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING FUNDS Mr. Schumacher explained this is a paper transfer. This money had been allocated last year - the materials purchased - paid for out of the general fund - and one transfer is made at the end of the year to cover all transaction. This amount should be $58,071.25. Mr. Marier moved to waive the reading of the Resolution and to approve the transfer of $58,071.25 from the Federal Revenue Sharing Trust Fund to the General Fund. Seconded by Mrs. Elsenpeter. Motion carried unanimously. CLERK's REPORT The Clerk had prepared a proposal for telephones for the City offices. Four different vendors had been contacted and after computing the costs, the Clerk recommended that the phones be installed by Northwestern Bell. This is an expanded phone system in that two additional extensions will be added, it is a touch tone, and is the ComKey system with two intercom lines and a voice intercom. The current system charges are approximately $300.00 per month. This expanded system would cost $384.81 per month for the first three years, then the charges would be reduced to $270.91 per month. This figure is the line charges, listing charges and misc. charges to Northwestern Bell and will be paid regardless of the vendor of the system. Mayor Benson asked if this was in the budget and the Clerk said she wasn't sure. Mr. Kulaszewicz requested that this matter be checked and report back at the next Council meeting.
