Mounds View City Council November 25, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 9 <br /> <br />Council Member Marty commented that Patrick used to give an update on equipment as to what <br />he needed and what the City could afford. He then said he would like to go with Mr. Hansen’s <br />recommendation of leaving it as a plan to be approved by Council. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked whether the City had ever sold the old deck when it got the new <br />deck. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney indicated that the equipment is all stashed in a room downstairs and <br />said he would like to bid on some of the equipment when it is sold. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas said she disagreed with Council Member Marty that Patrick provided <br />an inventory. She then said that he always told Council what he needed or wanted but did not <br />say what was back there. She further commented that the City recently learned there is no <br />backup on the technological equipment and that was learned during a brownout. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney commented that comments were made asking what the projected use of <br />the new mixer system would be and it was said that nobody new but if the City needed it they <br />would have it and he does not like that type of response. <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen recommended leaving it as a plan to be provided and approved by <br />Council. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty commented that he may have had information as to an inventory due to <br />his position as liaison to the Cable Commission but he knows there was discussion of the <br />equipment owned by the City. He then said that he had never seen a written inventory but <br />Patrick was aware of what was back there. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre said he had one request early on and that was to look at the fee schedule. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Reed indicated she had made a few changes and would bring it to <br />the work session for discussion. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre asked for the information in advance of the work session. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney indicated the last Mounds View Matters showed a proposed 2003 <br />budget of $4,913,912 which was a projected change from 2002 of 7.9% and the notice in the <br />packet projects a 2003 budget of $4,974,532 a change from 2002 of 9.2%. <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated that most of the increase could be attributed to the police <br />overtime detail at the metropolitan airports commission as the $47,250 figure was left out of the <br />first budget. He then explained that the amounts needed to be shown on the revenue and expense <br />side so the figure does increase the budget. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked if the amount were subtracted out if it would go back to the 7.9% <br />figure.
