LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1987 PAGE 11 1987-1988. The contract is similar to last years's contract except for a rate increase of 4.5 percent. A copy of the agreement along with an itemized bill for services in 1986-1987 were given to the City Council. City Administrator Overby had asked if the Council wanted to solicit bids from other accounting firms for 1988. Finance Director Marilyn Banister was well satisfied with this accounting firm and suggested renewing their agreement. M/S/P Graves/Moe - to renew the auditing/accounting agreement with Voto, Tautges, Redpath & Co. for 19887-88. (Motion carried 5-0). C. City Hall Maintenance Service Cleaning and shampooing of the carpet in the City Hall needs to be placed on a regular schedule and done by an outside cleaning service. Quotes were received from Lake Elmo Cleaning and Shopping Services and Servicemaster. M/S/P Johnson/Armstrong - to approve the hiring of Servicemaster to do carpet cleaning and restroom cleaning at the City Hall as stated in his proposal. (Motion carried 5-0). D. Additional Appropriation to Buy More Ski Licenses The City Council on 10-6-87 approved an expenditure of up to $675.00 for the purchase of cross country ski licenses from Washington County and resale at the Lake Elmo City Hall during the 1987-1988 ski season. The North Star Ski Club would like to buy license from the City of Lake Elmo at their big membership meeting on Tuesday, November 10, 1987. Ted Cardozo of the North Star Ski Club has made arrangements to have someone sell the Lake Elmo licensses at their meeting. The problem is that the $675 will not pay for the estimated 200 licenses that could be sold at the Club meeting. Another $1450 is needed to purchase enough licenses. The City collects 50 cents for every license it sells, so the sale of licenses at the North Star meeting could generate up to $100 in direct cash revenue for the City. The State of Minnesota will pay the City of Lake Elmo an amount equal to 20 percent of the City's total license sales this season, in its allocation of ski license program revenue in late 1988. For example, if the City sells $2,000 worth of ski licenses this season, the DNR would allocate $400 to the City of Lake Elmo for ski trail maintenance in 1988. M/S/P Armstrong/Graves - to authorize the City Administrator to purchase an additional $1500 (to be taken out of the Parks Fund and the benefits put back in the -Pa-rkq. Fund) ef Gress-Geuntry ski lieenses to be sold at the North Star Ski Club meeting. (Motion carried 5-0). 10. Other Business
