Mounds View City Council October 28, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 13 Finance Director Hansen indicated the golf course has had a difficult year due to the weather and the strike but said that would be discussed in detail at the work session. Finance Director Hansen reviewed the activities of the Finance Department for the third quarter. He then asked for authorization to provide budget information in packets on Monday, November 4, 2002. Council Member Marty asked to receive whatever was done on Friday. Council Member Quick suggested moving the work session meeting to November 13, 2002. Finance Director Hansen indicated that date worked for him. Council Member Stigney objected to changing the date as there may need to be follow up meetings so he would like to start on November 6, 2002 to allow time for those follow up meetings. Council Member Marty indicated he was not available on November 13, 2002. Council agreed to leave the meeting on November 6, 2002. Finance Director Hansen indicated his department would begin setting up for the new financial reporting format in January. Council Member Marty asked why the apartment licenses were short of budget. Community Development Director Ericson indicated that the licenses are typically collected in the third or fourth quarter so the revenues will continue to come in. Council Member Marty asked why the intergovernmental other state grants amount was so much higher than what was budgeted. Finance Director Hansen indicated the City received the oak wilt grant and that was not built into the 2002 budget. He then indicated the DARE aid grant has been causing timing difficulties for the City because the City and the School District are not on the same fiscal year. Council Member Marty asked why fines and forfeits were under budget. Finance Director Hansen indicated the City allows a certain number of free alarms and then residents are fine so the first part of the year residents are working on their free fines and the revenue comes in during the later part of the year. Council Member Marty asked why the City Council salary budget was $6,000 less than last year.
