Mounds View City Council October 14, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />• Mr. Skelly indicated that for years he made reports to City Administrators, Mayors, and Council <br />and, as time passed, the City began televising cable commission meetings and created a City <br />Administrator Advisory Committee that fed information into the Commission as well as <br />providing abundant information to the cities. He then said that he wanted it to be clear to <br />Council and the residents that he did not just wander over there and start attending meetings, he <br />was appointed by the City. <br />Mr. Skelly indicated the local committee has no connection with CTV other than all of the <br />volunteer work that is done. He then said he made a mistake at the last meeting when he <br />suggested that only three cities had non-elected officials because in reality, all but four had non- <br />elected officials in the early days. <br />Mr. Skelly commended the Charter Commission for providing a profound election forum. <br />Barbara Haake of 3024 County Road I addressed Council and discussed the differences between <br />a committee and commission. Ms. Haake provided handouts to Council. <br />Ms. Haake clarified that the committee has never been paid and is not asking to ever be paid. <br />She then noted the cable committee does have a budget that comes from the citizen subscriber <br />fees. <br />Ms. Haake recommended that Council keep the committee a committee and offered to meet with <br />Council at a work session to discuss the matter. <br />5. JUST AND CORRECT CLAIMS <br />Council Member Stigney asked what the commission dinner charge was for. <br />City Administrator Miller indicated that item was cancelled. <br />Council Member Stigney asked for clarification on the batteries plus charge as it seems the City <br />uses a lot of batteries. <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated he was not sure which batteries were in which vehicles but <br />said he does know the City has a number of vehicles as well as things like emergency lights in <br />buildings. He then invited Council Member Stigney to stop by his office to view the invoices for <br />further information. <br />Council Member Stigney asked why the City purchased ant killer if the City has an exterminator. <br />Public Works Director Lee explained that Will Kill has a contract for pest control at City Hall <br />and the Community Center and the supplies purchased were for some park buildings. <br />Council Member Marty asked whether the City of Fridley residents were billed for water and <br />sewer provided by the City. <br />
