Mounds View City Council October 28, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney commented that it looks like $1,695.88 was spent for this conference <br />and it takes two days off from work and he is not sure whether Staff worked the day they came <br />home but he feels the City needs to look at where it is spending money and he feels the City <br />could do without this expenditure. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked who pays for the dinner for Check No. 109549 to Elegant Thymes <br />Catering. <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated this is a reimbursement to Elegant Thymes for catering and <br />someone paid more than this amount to the banquet center for the service. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked whether Check No. 109572 to MMKR represented a final bill on <br />the matter. <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated the bill is for the review of contracts and he thinks the City <br />should be close to a final report on the matter. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked what Check No.109573 for refinancing costs was for. <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated there were some costs involved with refinancing the water <br />service general obligation bonds but noted that the costs to refinance were figured in when Staff <br />reported the overall savings in interest. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked why the City pays Ramsey County for street painting. <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated the City has no specialized painting truck so the City <br />contracts with Ramsey County for the service as it is cheaper than owning the equipment. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked for more information on Check No. 109584 to Savin Corporation. <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated the check was for lease and maintenance of the main copy <br />machine. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked whether Check No. 109588 to Short Elliot Hendricksen would be <br />the final bill. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated it would not be the final bill for Well 4 or County Road H2. <br />He then indicated that there would be another fairly large bill for H2 and explained there is a <br />month lag time from when costs are incurred and the City is invoiced. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked for further information on the Hewlett Packard receipt because the <br />numbers were difficult to read. <br />
