He then 3 <br />thanked them for their efforts. 4 <br /> 5 <br />Council Member Marty asked why there was a credit on the credit card bill. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Interim City Administrator Ericson indicated he did not have the information to answer that 8 <br />question. 9 <br /> 10 <br />Council Member Marty indicated that he had provided information to the previous City 11 <br />Administrator concerning a coffee machine that employees would pay 50 cents a cup for and it 12 <br />makes all sorts of different coffee drinks. He then said that he would provide that information to 13 <br />Mr. Ericson and asked him to research the matter. 14 <br /> 15 <br />Council Member Marty asked whether this would be the final bill to MMKR as it seems there is 16 <br />a bill every month that is over $3,000. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Interim City Administrator Ericson indicated he would research whether this is the final bill. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Council Member Marty indicated had asked some questions of the City Attorney prior to the 21 <br />meeting concerning the Kennedy & Graven invoices. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Council Member Stigney asked whether the check to Filter Fresh was for coffee for the 24 <br />employees or for something else. 25 <br /> 26 <br />Interim City Administrator Ericson indicated that the coffee is for employees and everyone else. 27 <br /> 28 <br />Council Member Stigney asked whether the employees pay for coffee. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Interim City Administrator Ericson indicated they do not. 31 <br /> 32 <br />Council Member Stigney indicated that Council had asked the previous City Administrator to 33 <br />discuss the matter with employees and see what their wishes are with regard to coffee. 34 <br /> 35 <br />Interim City Administrator Ericson indicated that all of the employees have indicated that they 36 <br />would rather have the City pay for coffee. 37 <br /> 38 <br />Council Member Stigney said he disagrees with that and he would like Mr. Ericson to meet with 39 <br />the employees and work on a solution. 40 <br /> 41 <br />Interim City Administrator Ericson indicated that employees are willing to do what Council feels 42 <br />is appropriate. He then said that coffee is provided for various meetings and functions at City 43 <br />Hall so there would be an expense to bring in coffee for those events if the City no longer 44 <br />provided coffee. 45
