PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF FUNDS VIEW RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA The Mounds View City Council was called to order at 7:30 P.M. on October 27, 1980, by Mayor McCarty. Members Present: Forslund, Rowley, Hodges, Ziebarth, and Mayor McCarty. Also Present: Attorney Meyers and Clerk/ Administrator Pauley. The regular meeting closed at 7:33 P.M. The public hearing opened at 7:33 P.M. The Council was advised by Public Works Superintendent Decheine on October 20th that the City's front end loader had developed engine problems indicating a need for a major overhaul or replacement of the piece of equip- ment. Council had asked for further informa- tion before including this item in the Revenue Sharing Budget. Superintendent Decheine was present at the meeting and notified the Council that the cost for rebuilding the engine and other repairs would be approximately $9,200. The City's mechanics would be doing the labor for this project. Decheine indicated it would be difficult to predict how long the piece of machinery would last after rebuilding the engine. Mayor McCarty noted that in the case of heavy equipment, repairs of this nature would increase the longevity of the piece of machinery and it would be more cost efficient to repair than to replace. Administrator Pauley noted that he had received some quotes (not bids) for a new front end loader and the cost would be somewhere between $50,000- $90,000. He also noted that there was sufficient monies in the water fund account that could be borrowed until the Revenue Sharing funds were received next year for the repair or purchase of the front end loader.
