Mounds View City Council May 24, 2004 Regular Meeting Page 5 C. Resolution 6259 Employee Appreciation Awards for the Employee Appreciation Lunch on June 9, 2004, with a Rain Date of 3une 10, 2004. Council Member Stigney indicated he had pulled this item because it was his understanding that when this was approved by the Council that the certificates were to be obtained and used within the City of Mounds View. Ms. Crane indicated that she had reviewed the Minutes and that was discussed but it was recommended that the City not do that. Council Member Stigney indicated he has an issue with it. He then said that the Resolution that was passed in 2001 states that the employee appreciation events would be held at the Mounds View Banquet and Conference Center and now it is somewhere else. He further questioned the difference in price between the breakfast last year and the lunch proposed for this year. Ms. Crane explained that she and Ms. Burg go out and buy the food from Sam's Club for the cheapest dollar amount possible and Council prepares it so there is no labor. Council Member Stigney indicated he feels that the certificates should be purchased within Mounds View. S Mayor Linke indicated he saw no conflict with using either the Community Center or City Hall. Council Member Stigney indicated he was just pointing out that the proposal was different than what was approved and he is opposed to the twin city area for the certificates. Mayor Linke read Resolution 6259. MOTION/SECOND: Linke/Marty. To Approve Resolution 6259, a Resolution for Employee Appreciation Awards for the Employee Appreciation Lunch. MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty. To Amend Resolution 6259 to Require that the Certificates be Chosen within the City of Mounds View. Council Member Stigney indicated that tax dollars are being spent and he would like to use those tax dollars to promote local businesses. Council Member Marty commented that the City is somewhat limited with what can be obtained for certificates. He then said that he feels it would be better to broaden the area. Council Member Stigney stated that as long as the City is giving taxpayer money to employees, it should be spent locally to improve the tax base. . Ayes -1(Stigney) Nays - 4 Motion failed.
