MOUNDS VIEW <br />City of Mounds View Staff R <br />Item No 8B <br />Meeting Date: July 23, 2018 <br />Type of Business: CB <br />Administrator Review: <br />P�-- <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Ordinance 948 Chapter 200 Code Update, Second Reading <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 />First reading and introduction occurred at the July 9, 2018 meeting. This is the second <br />reading. <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 />Conduct second reading of Ordinance 948 to update Chapter 200 of the City Code, <br />approve and publish with summary publication. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />N Zikm d <br />ity Adm nistrator <br />
