Item No 5E <br />018 <br />MOU-NDS <br />i TTE_TMeeting Date: July 9, sent �/1��/ Type of Business: Consent <br />Administrator Review: <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Ordinance 948 Chapter 200 Code Update <br />Introduction: <br />This is a continuation of the City Code update. Council just conducted second reading <br />or ordinance to update Chapter 200. However, Finance Director Beer was alerted to a <br />change in State Statute that increases the threshold for contracting provisions, request <br />for proposals vs. quotes and publication. <br />This amendment simply aligns us with state statute which the current provision of code <br />follows. Additionally, instead of amending the code when statute changes in the future, <br />this amendment states we will simply follow current Minnesota State Statute. <br />Discussion: <br />Kennedy and Grave and prepared and reviewed ordinance 948. The threshold <br />changes for contracts requiring sealed bids and public notice provisions increase from <br />$100,000 to $175,000. Contracts between $25,000 and $175,000 can be executed by <br />direct negotiations after obtaining at least two bids. <br />Recommendation: <br />Introduce and conduct first reading of Ordinance 948 to update Chapter 200 of the City <br />Code. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />1AA ), '/ <br />Nyleikm <br />City Administrator <br />
