Mounds View City Council March 24, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br /> <br /> 1 <br />Public Works Director Lee addressed Council and explained that the boiler pump at City Hall 2 <br />had failed and needed to be replaced. He then explained that had it happened during cold 3 <br />weather months it may have resulted in the need to close City Hall until the repair could be made. 4 <br />He further explained that it is his recommendation to add a second pump at a cost of $1,238.00 5 <br />that would ensure the pump would continue to run in the event of a failure of the other pump and 6 <br />prevent any emergencies at City Hall. 7 <br /> 8 <br />Mayor Linke asked where the funds would come from. 9 <br /> 10 <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that the funds would come out of the building maintenance 11 <br />fund. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Council Member Marty thanked Staff for recommending this and noted that a breakdown in 14 <br />January would have cost the City far more than this alternate pump. 15 <br /> 16 <br />There was Council consensus to process the invoice for approval. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Interim City Administrator Ericson reminded Council that he had been asked to contact the State 19 <br />Auditor as well as the League of Minnesota Cities concerning the appropriateness of the 20 <br />expenditure for the Twin City North Chamber Gala event. He then explained that both sources 21 <br />had informed him that it was an appropriate expenditure. 22 <br /> 23 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Gunn. To Release the Check to Twin City North Chamber for the 24 <br />Gala Event. 25 <br /> 26 <br />Council Member Stigney said he questions why it was not appropriate for Brooklyn Center 27 <br />during the audit but it is appropriate for this City. 28 <br /> 29 <br />Mayor Linke clarified that the expenditure was not part of their overall operating budget. 30 <br /> 31 <br />Council Member Stigney commented that he did not see a specific line item in the budget for 5 32 <br />Gala tickets and then said that it may be an appropriate expenditure according to the League of 33 <br />Minnesota Cities and the State Auditor but he does not feel it is an appropriate expenditure of 34 <br />taxpayers funds for this City. 35 <br /> 36 <br /> Ayes – 3 Nays – 1(Stigney) Motion carried. 37 <br /> 38 <br />8.
