MOUNDS VIEW CITY COUNCIL Regular Meeting <br />September 24, 1979 <br />Page 5 <br />5) Received a note in the mail 9/19/79 <br />regarding a new provision on volunteer <br />firemen's association; won't affect the <br />City's budget. <br />6) Received a phone call regarding a <br />violation of housing code involving <br />pests. A warning has been issued to the <br />violators. <br />7) A bill for $200 and another dated 7/19/79 <br />for $1,000 has been received from Dr. <br />Machmeier, of Resource Engineer, who was <br />asked to do a review of the Citizens Task <br />Force Report, specifically the Ardan Ave. <br />situation. The question is raised whether <br />or not the City authorized this expenditure. <br />On 5/29/79 Council authorized $200 for a <br />4-hour on-site inspection. A letter was <br />sent by Acting Administrator Anderson in <br />May stating that if he were to do <br />a report, he should submit a proposal to <br />do so, however it doesn't reflect such a proposal <br />exists. McCarty read a recent letter from <br />Machmeier that if the bill is not paid, <br />the copies of Machmeier's report should <br />be collected. Nelson feels this would <br />be almost impossible. <br />Rowley made the motion, seconded by Forslund, <br />that the City Council make payment of the <br />$200, per the Council motion of 5/29/79. <br />(Invoice #910) <br />(Nay vote: Ziebarth, who felt <br />Council should wait to pay the <br />$200 until an understanding is <br />reached of Machmeier's position <br />in order to reach a two-sided <br />solution to this problem.) <br />4 ayes <br />1 nay <br />McCarty made the amendment to the motion, <br />seconded by Hodges, that Staff be directed <br />to make immediate contact with Dr. Machmeier <br />to see if we can settle the extra $1,000 bill <br />in a mutually agreeable manner. (Invoice <br />#911 under Resource Engineering) <br />5 ayes <br />0 nays <br />Rowley called for the question, seconded by <br />Ziebarth. <br />5 ayes <br />0 nays <br />ROWLEY REPORT <br />MACHMEIER <br />REPORT/BILLING <br />
