Mounds View City Council May 12, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br />gone on over there. He further commented that he had his wife tape this meeting so that when <br />there is a problem at the Community Center if the City takes it over he can come back and say he <br />told Council to be careful. <br />Mr. Jahnke asked Council to use common sense and look into what the City really needs not <br />what would be nice to have and make the cuts that are necessary. He then said he has not seen <br />one thing that was looked into for sacrificing. <br />Mayor Linke indicated Council is still analyzing budgets for last year and there are things that are <br />being looked at but it is too early in the process to begin cutting. <br />Council Member Stigney commented that many of the items of concern raised by Mr. Jahnke are <br />on his list of concerns given to the City Administrator. <br />Council Member Marty indicated he has been hearing similar concerns from other residents and <br />has been asked to review step increases for employees and the personnel policy by them. <br />Mayor Linke noted there were students from Irondale in the audience and welcomed them to the <br />meeting. <br />6.
