Mounds View City Council January 13, 2003 Regular Meeting Page 8 Larry Siluk indicated that having a temporary employee working in the police department is causing the work to backlog and they have gotten way behind. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Stigney. To Table Resolution 5928. Ayes - 2(Quick/Stigney) Nays - 3 Motion failed. Council Member Quick indicated he did not see the urgency as they had two weeks and Council was in session on December 30, 2002 and nothing was brought before Council.
