The following voted against same: None Whereupon the ordinance was declared duly passed and adopted. PAGE 3 • • • COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 13, 1990 submitted proposals. DCA, Inc. did have the best proposal and Mr. Ardy Prekker was present to answer questions about the plan. Council Member Kuether asked if there was a way to determine what percentage the City is saving. Mr. Schumacher explained that this will not be known until it is determined how many employees will take advantage of the program and what dollars they will set aside for benefits. Mr. Schumacher said at this time it appears that there will be neither an advantage or disadvantage for the City. The flex plan is designed to significantly aid the employee not the employer. The employee saves taxes by reducing his income by the amount of medical, dental and child care dollars he sets aside. Mr. Prekker explained that six (6) or seven (7) metropolitan counties provide this benefit for their employees and he also named many metropolitan cities who do the same. Council Member Reinert moved to approve Option #1 and enter into an agreement with DCA, Inc. to administer a flex benefit program for the City employees. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF VOTO, TAUTGES, REDPATH, INC. LTD. FOR 1990 AUDIT Mr. Schumacher noted that a supplement to the proposal had been sent to the Council on Friday. He also noted that because of the complex assessment procedures and policies recently put into place, it would be best to continue with the current audit firm because they are familiar with the computer programs and the assessment policies. Council Member Reinert noted that this contract is five percent (5%) higher than last year. Mr. Schumacher asked him to refer to the salary schedule in the contract and noted that this is where most of the increase occurs. Council Member Neal moved to adopt Option No. 1 and sign a contract with Voto, Tautges, Redpath, Inc., LTD for auditing services for 1990/1991. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. ATTORNEY'S REPORT - BILL HAWKINS First Rea sng, Ordinance No. 17 - 90 Amending the Gambling Ordinance - Mr. Hawkins introduced the ordinance noting this ordinance would increase from ten percent (10%) to fifty percent (50%) the required expenditures to the City. It would also require that this fifty percent (50%) be spent within the Lino Lakes trade PAGE 3 • • • COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 13, 1990 area. The trade area is defined as all property located within the corporate boundaries of the City of Lino Lakes and all cities contiguous to such boundaries. Mayor Bisel said he felt that this proposed amendment does not do what he would like done. He explained that he felt it was wrong for organizations to come into this City, conduct gambling events and then take the money out of the City. The proceeds should benefit the people in the City it was collected. He also noted that the fifty percent (50%) requirement would discourage organizations such as the VFW. They routinely donate more than that amount each year. The City does not want to give the impression that fifty percent (50%) is all they should donate. He asked Mr. Hawkins how the City could control who gets a gambling license? Mr. Hawkins explained that the state statutes do not even allow this City the authority to regulate gambling as it does now. He noted a more restrictive ordinance could be enacted but there is no guarantee that it will pass a court test. Council Member Bohjanen explained that with the current state provisions, the higher state taxes, and the many municipal requirements that many organizations will no longer be involved in gambling. The gambling profits are disappearing. He also noted that organizations such as the VFW donate proceeds to the state and national chapters of their organizations. He asked if this new proposed amendment would prohibit this practice. Council Member Bohjanen said the trade area section of the proposed ordinance concerned him. Council Member Reinert asked Mr. Hawkins if there was a way to control national organizations from sending money collected locally out of state? Mr. Hawkins said that all organizations must be treated equally using the same standards. Council Member Bohjanen moved to table this matter until staff can talk to different organizations to get their input regarding the proposed fifty percent (50%) provision and the proposed trade area. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of Authorizing an Equipment Certificate of Indebtedness for 1990 Mr. Schumacher explained that he is requesting authorization for Mr. Hawkins to solicit bids for the 1990 Certificate of Indebtedness in the amount of $88,500.00. The bids will not be awarded until after the 1991 budget public hearing. Mr. Schumacher noted that the amount of the certificate has been reduced in an attempt to keep property taxes down and because the City is in the PAGE 4
