Mounds View City Council July 10, 2023 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Meehlhause provided the Council with an update from the convention bureau and <br />noted hotel room occupancy continues to do well in the member cities. <br /> <br /> B. Reports of Staff. <br /> <br />City Administrator Zikmund stated he needed direction from the Council regarding the City’s third <br />public data request. He noted the City could charge a reasonable fee if the request is over a <br />minimum threshold. He asked if the Council supported staff coming back with a provision putting <br />a minimum fee in place. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn supported this recommendation. <br /> <br />Council Member Cermak explained whenever she has made a request, she has been charged no <br />matter how big or how little the request was. She supported the City having a charge in place for <br />residents making a data request. <br /> <br />Council Member Lindstrom stated he struggled with this request because City staff was paid for <br />with taxpayer dollars. He noted the recent data requests were not the norm. He supported the City <br />refining the data request to make it less intensive for staff. <br /> <br />Council consensus was to direct staff to bring back more information. <br /> <br />City Administrator Zikmund stated the goal would be to update the garbage survey and have this <br />further discussed at the next Council meeting. <br /> <br />City Administrator Zikmund reported Finance Director interviews were held last week and a <br />formal offer was made to a candidate. <br /> <br />C. Reports of City Attorney. <br /> <br />There was nothing additional to report. <br /> <br />10.
