Runs on windows 2000 servers. • Mayor Hunt indicated this would keep us from adding staff in this area. Administrator Kueffner stated the City did not follow the state ledger guidelines. There are no accounts receivable, has not been tracked before and shows up yearly in the audit. Sick days and vacation days are kept track by employees. The big benefit is daily backups. Balances on water bills can be raised by anyone. Staff has not by law provided the Council what is required. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 2001
