Mounds View City Council Apri114, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br />• <br /> <br />The Motion failed for lack of a second. <br />Council Member Marry clarified that these positions are already budgeted for and are not newly <br />created positions. <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated the positions have been in the budget since 1993 and are <br />paid for out of the enterprise fund. <br />Council Member Marry indicated that Mr. Hayes is also a qualified fireman so hiring him would <br />ensure another full time fireman on duty during the day. He then said that Ms. Manypenny is a <br />state registered EMT and he sees that as an asset to the City. <br />Council Member Stigney commented that he understood where the money comes from and that <br />is fees and those fees come from the same taxpayers' pockets. He then said that regardless of <br />whether these positions are in the budget the money might not be there. <br />Council Member Quick asked if the funds could be commingled into the general fund. <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated they could not. <br />Mr. McCarty asked how Council Member Stigney intended to soften the impact of LGA cuts by <br />using enterprise funds. <br />Council Member Stigney indicated it is his position that the City does not know the impact of <br />LGA cuts and he would prefer to hold off on hiring until such time as the City does know what to <br />expect. He then said it may be necessary to redistribute the required work over the existing staff <br />rather than hire for the position if there is not money to fund it. <br />Mr. McCarty commented that Council Member Stigney does not understand the system. <br />Finance Director Hansen explained that the City set up enterprise funds for the water and sewer <br />and those are funded by fees that the City bills out on a quarterly basis and those are separate <br />from LGA and property tax. <br />Mayor Linke commented that the loss of LGA does not affect this fund. <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated that LGA cuts would not directly affect the fund. He then <br />added that there was a reallocation of Staff last fall to fund a full time person out of the storm <br />water enterprise fund due to the mandates for 2003. <br />Ayes - 4 Nays - 1(Stigney) Motion carried. <br />r~ <br />1~ <br />F. Resolution No. 5977, Authorizing Additional Compensation for <br />Administrative Assistant Desaree Crane for Working Outside of Job <br />Classification. <br />
