Mounds View City Council March 24, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />• <br />Public Works Director Lee addressed Council and explained that the boiler pump at City Hall <br />had failed and needed to be replaced. He then explained that had it happened during cold <br />weather months it may have resulted in the need to close City Hall until the repair could be made. <br />He further explained that it is his recommendation to add a second pump at a cost of $1,238.00 <br />that would ensure the pump would continue to run in the event of a failure of the other pump and <br />prevent any emergencies at City Hall. <br />Mayor Linke asked where the fiznds would come from. <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that the funds would come out of the building maintenance <br />fund. <br />Council Member Many thanked Staff for recommending this and noted that a breakdown in <br />January would have cost the City far more than this alternate pump. Council Member Marty <br />noted that a breakdown in January would have cost far more than the alternative pump by <br />possibly shutting the City down for a week or two. <br />There was Council consensus to process the invoice for approval. <br />• Interim City Administrator Ericson reminded Council that he had been asked to contact the State <br />Auditor as well as the League of Minnesota Cities concerning the appropriateness of the <br />expenditure for the Twin City North Chamber Gala event. He then explained that both sources <br />had informed him that it was an appropriate expenditure. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Gunn. To Release the Check to Twin City North Chamber for the <br />Gala Event. <br />Council Member Stigney said he questions why it was not appropriate for Brooklyn Center <br />during the audit but it is appropriate for this City. <br />Mayor Linke clarified that the expenditure was not part of their overall operating budget. <br />Council Member Stigney commented that he did not see a specific line item in the budget for 5 <br />Gala tickets and then said that it may be an appropriate expenditure according to the League of <br />Minnesota Cities and the State Auditor but he does not feel it is an appropriate expenditure of <br />taxpayers funds for this City. <br />Ayes - 3 Nays - 1(Stigney) Motion carried. <br />8. CONSENT AGENDA <br />• A. Licenses for Approval <br />B. Resolution 5973, a Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of Video Decks <br />
