Mr. Bohjanen moved to table <br />consideration of this appointment and ask Mr. Olson to <br />attend the next Council meeting as well as ask Mrs. <br />Elsenpeter if she is still interested in continuing in the <br />position of alternate. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />Fiscal Agent - Mr. Schumacher explained that he has received <br />two proposals for the position of fiscal agent and the <br />Council has asked that he make comparisons of the two <br />proposals. <br />Mr. Jim Casserly of Publicorp, Inc. gave a brief background <br />of his company. He outlined the issues in which his company <br />has been involved and also noted that Mr. Hawkins has an <br />interest in this company. He noted that although his <br />company is a comparatively new company, the people involved <br />with the company have had many years experience in the field <br />and would give Lino Lakes the benefit of their individual <br />expertise. <br />David MacGillivray and Ronald Langness of Springsted, Inc. - <br />Mr. Langness explained that his company has been in business <br />for over fourty years and has served Lino Lakes since late <br />1960. He gave further background information about the firm <br />which includes forty staff members. <br />Mayor Benson explained that although the Council designates <br />a City Attorney, City Engineer or City Fiscal Agent, the <br />City can also use other consultants for specific projects. <br />He wanted this kept in mind when making the decision <br />tonight. Mr. Reinert felt it was important to have someone <br />that the City Administrator feels comfortable with and asked <br />if he had a recommendation. Mr. Schumacher said he did not <br />want to set policy in this matter. <br />After further discussion, Mr. Bohjanen moved to appoint <br />Springsted, Inc. as City Fiscal Agent. Mr. Reinert seconded <br />the motion. Motion carried with Mr. Bisel voting, no. <br />Mayor Benson thanked both firms for their presentation <br />tonight. <br />PAGE 4 <br />
