Mounds View City Council May 24, 2004 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br /> <br /> 1 <br />C. Resolution 6259 Employee Appreciation Awards for the Employee 2 <br />Appreciation Lunch on June 9, 2004, with a Rain Date of June 10, 2004. 3 <br /> 4 <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he had pulled this item because it was his understanding that 5 <br />when this was approved by the Council that the certificates were to be obtained and used within 6 <br />the City of Mounds View. 7 <br /> 8 <br />Ms. Crane indicated that she had reviewed the Minutes and that was discussed but it was 9 <br />recommended that the City not do that. 10 <br /> 11 <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he has an issue with it. He then said that the Resolution that 12 <br />was passed in 2001 states that the employee appreciation events would be held at the Mounds 13 <br />View Banquet and Conference Center and now it is somewhere else. He further questioned the 14 <br />difference in price between the breakfast last year and the lunch proposed for this year. 15 <br /> 16 <br />Ms. Crane explained that she and Ms. Burg go out and buy the food from Sam’s Club for the 17 <br />cheapest dollar amount possible and Council prepares it so there is no labor. 18 <br /> 19 <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he feels that the certificates should be purchased within 20 <br />Mounds View. 21 <br /> 22 <br />Mayor Linke indicated he saw no conflict with using either the Community Center or City Hall. 23 <br /> 24 <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he was just pointing out that the proposal was different than 25 <br />what was approved and he is opposed to the twin city area for the certificates. 26 <br /> 27 <br />Mayor Linke read Resolution 6259. 28 <br /> 29 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Linke/Marty. To Approve Resolution 6259, a Resolution for Employee 30 <br />Appreciation Awards for the Employee Appreciation Lunch. 31 <br /> 32 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty. To Amend Resolution 6259 to Require that the 33 <br />Certificates be Chosen within the City of Mounds View. 34 <br /> 35 <br />Council Member Stigney indicated that tax dollars are being spent and he would like to use those 36 <br />tax dollars to promote local businesses. 37 <br /> 38 <br />Council Member Marty commented that the City is somewhat limited with what can be obtained 39 <br />for certificates. He then said that he feels it would be better to broaden the area. 40 <br /> 41 <br />Council Member Stigney stated that as long as the City is giving taxpayer money to employees, it 42 <br />should be spent locally to improve the tax base. 43 <br /> 44 <br />Ayes – 1(Stigney) Nays – 4 Motion failed. 45
