Mounds View City Council December 10, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 31 <br /> <br />Council Member Marty noted that even if funds are set aside the money does not have to be <br />spent. He then commented that he feels it is time to discuss the sewer fees because he does not <br />feel everyone in the City should pay a flat rate because usage varies. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas asked Council to leave the editorial comments off as there was a lot of <br />business to accomplish and it was 10:45 p.m. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Stigney indicated he felt the discussions were necessary because if saving the <br />taxpayers money has always been a goal of this Council he wonders why it was never listed as a <br />goal and had not come up for discussion at any retreat. <br /> <br />Council Member Quick commented that Council Member Stigney’s version of cost effectiveness <br />is to cut everything rather than plan for the long term. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Thomas.

Review Esultant Web Services Contract <br /> <br />Jeffrey Schissler of 2331 University Avenue SE addressed Council and explained how the <br />proposal before Council was arrived at. <br /> <br />Mr. Schissler indicated he had been given verbal authorization from Mr. Hammerschmidt to <br />proceed with the project because anything under $15,000 did not need Council approval. <br /> <br />Mr. Schissler indicated that 40 to 50% of the e-commerce programming has been done and only <br />about 15% of work on the actual website. He then commented that his company would like to be <br />paid for the services provided. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller asked how many hours the Company had put into the e-commerce side <br />of the project. <br />
