Mounds View City Council April 22, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 11 <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen explained that substantially all of that is payments to the YMCA under <br />the City’s contract with them. He also noted it is not unusual for the City to be funding a <br />recreation program but noted the City would need to determine the appropriate level of subsidy <br />for recreation in the future. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked why there were figures on Page 4 under City Council health and <br />life insurance when nothing had been budgeted for it. <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated he would review the matter but said he suspected an <br />allocation problem. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty questioned whether it was necessary to have worker’s compensation <br />insurance for Council Members. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas indicated that by law Council Members are considered employees. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked what the other professional services of $26,150 was for. <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated that $3,000 was for strategic planning sessions, $8,000 for <br />minutes, $15,000 for legal fees, and $150 was for delivery of Council packets. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty noted the last line item under the City Administration budget was <br />budgeted for $1500 and the year to date figure is $2295. He then asked what that was for. <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated that most of the expense was incurred for use of a temporary <br />employee to cover the interim between administrative assistants. He also noted that wages and <br />compensation would be under budget a bit because there was no one in the position for a short <br />time. <br /> <br /> D. Resolution 5749 Approval of Prohibiting Parking on County Road H2. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Lee reviewed the plans to upgrade County Road H2 and indicated that the <br />state requires that the City prohibit parking on the street if not providing for on street parking. <br />He then said that parking could be added to the plans for the upgrade at an expense. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that the pre-construction survey sent out last fall indicated <br />that the majority of residents did not want parking on the street. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked whether the Metro Transit issue had been resolved. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated he had met with Metro Transit and would be continuing to <br />work with them on the matter. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty indicated he had heard from a few residents concerning this issue and <br />noted the only residents that contacted him were asking for no parking on H2.
