Page 2 <br />September 14, 1998 <br />Mounds View City Council <br />Mayor McCarty suggested that the Council deal with the current minutes. After this has been <br />done, Mr. Stigney could make his motion to reconsider the City Council Minutes of August 10, <br />1998. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Koopmeiners/Gunn to approve the August 24, 1998 City Council Meeting <br />Minutes as amended. <br />VOTE: Ayes - 4 Nays - 0 Motion carried <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Gunn to reconsider the City Council Minutes of August 10, 1998. <br />Stigney offered the following correction to the City Council Minutes of August I0, 1998: On <br />Page 4, the first sentence reads "Motion failed because it was ruled out of order."
