This could fluctuate depending upon the number of times the <br /> 3 city tests. There is an amount budgeted to cover this type of expense. <br /> 4 <br /> 5 MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Hankner to Approve Resolution 4806, Authorizing the City of Mounds <br /> 6 View to Enter into a Service Agreement with Kerr Transportation Service, Inc. <br /> 7 <br /> 8 VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br /> 9 <br /> 10 <br /> 11 D. Consideration of Resolution 4812, Establishing a Contingency Fund Policy. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Samantha Orduno explained that for a very long time expenditures have come out of the general <br /> 14 contingency fund without any formal policy. Staff was requested at a prior Council meeting to develop <br /> 15 a draft Contingency Fund Policy for the council to review at the September work session. This policy <br /> 16 was reviewed and changed as recommended. Ms. Orduno noted that one correction should be made to <br /> 17 the Resolution,II Policy Statement, B. "The expenditures from the fund . . ." rather than "The funds <br /> 18 from the fund...". <br /> 19 <br /> 20 MOTION/SECOND: Hankner/Trude to Approve Resolution 4812, with the amendment as <br /> 21 recommended by Ms. Orduno. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Ms. Trude stated originally when this was brought up she was very concerned the council would get <br /> 24 involved in a lot of debate about the policy instead of whether the expenditure was warranted. She <br /> 25 does not have objection to any of the contents of the policy. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Ms. Hankner took this opportunity to commend the staff for putting the policy together. She feels it <br /> 28 goes far beyond her expectations,and nicely lays out the guidelines and perimeters about whether or <br /> 29 not the council should fund something out of the contingency funds. <br /> 30 <br /> 31 Ms. Orduno noted that this policy will be made a part of the Budget. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br /> 34 <br /> 35 <br /> 36 E. Consideration of Resolution 4813, Amendment to the Abatement Order. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Mr. Harrington explained that in 1994 the city received an abatement order for the property located at <br /> 39 7618 Edgewood Drive. This is a four-plex which was in a very delapitated state. The city got the <br /> 40 abatement order to go in and make certain repairs that the property owner had failed to do to meet <br /> 41 minimum building standards. Since the time that the City has been in the process of doing this, the <br /> 42 owner has failed to pay registration and has abandoned the building. There are currently two families <br /> 43 living in the four-plex without paying rent. Staff contacted the City Attorney about the possibility of <br /> 44 boarding up the two vacant units to prevent others from going in. He stated a resolution authorizing <br /> 45 the city to go in and board of the two units was necessary because there could be a question of <br /> 46 trespassing violations. The resolution will also allow the city to board up other units as they become <br /> 47 vacant. <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Mayor Linke noted that the bank will be taking over the property in October, if the owner does not <br /> 50 meet the redemption requirements prior to October 5th. The bank has indicated that they intend to <br />
