Mounds View City Council March 10, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 14 <br />Council Member Quick explained that when these issues were first discovered by the former <br />Administrator it took her awhile to ferret them out and Council dealt with them including <br />terminating the contract with Innovative Images and two employees. <br />Mr. Jahnke thanked Council for handling the situation once it became known. He then <br />commented that the City needs to be very careful when hiring a new administrator. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Stigney. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 5968, a <br />Resolution Approving Interfund Loans for the Year 2002 and Setting an Interest Rate on Loans <br />for the Year 2003. <br />Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. <br />C. Request Authorization to Hire a Planning Associate in the Community <br />Development Department <br />This item was removed from the agenda. <br />D. Resolution 5969 Authorizing the Write-off of Delinquent Accounts <br />Receivable. <br />Council Member Gunn asked if there was a way to verify checks received at the golf course to <br />eliminate the insufficient funds problem. <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated that one of the checks was in the amount of $725.00 and that <br />concerns him but the others are small enough that it would not be cost effective to attempt to <br />collect them. He then said that the City should not have any large checks as the course is moving <br />away from large ticket items being sold. <br />Mayor Linke asked whether the person who wrote the check could be prosecuted for <br />misdemeanor or felony theft since the amount is $750.00. <br />City Attorney Riggs indicated the City could attempt to prosecute the large check. <br />Mayor Linke indicated he would like to conduct an investigation into the issuance of that check <br />to determine if the City could prosecute it. <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated he was not with the City in July of 2001 but as he understand <br />a police report was filed but the original person who wrote the check could not be found. <br />Council Member Stigney asked what the City's procedure is for verifying checks out at the golf <br />course. <br />• <br />
