Resolution 7535 Adopting the 2010 Budgets for All Funds. <br /> <br />Finance Director Beer presented staff’s recommendation to adopt the resolution and noted the <br />summary for all funds. Council Member Mueller questioned the cost paid for engineering <br />consultants this year for the City’s street and trails projects. Finance Director Beer stated that <br />based on general assumptions, it is 20-25% of construction costs. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Mueller. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 7535, <br />Adopting the 2010 Budgets for All Funds. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney stated this Resolution is for funds outside the General Fund, noting that <br />62% of the General Fund budget was for personnel. He stated the 2010 budget includes the <br />hiring of two employees and pointed out that police costs in Mounds View are $169 per capita, <br />higher than New Brighton and 30 other cities. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn stated a few years ago, the community voted to hire officers and every <br />resident survey has ranked safety of the community as number one. She noted the Police <br />Department does a fantastic job and is probably the most important department the City has. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney stated he is not against safety but felt the City needed to maintain safety <br />or improve it at less cost. He questioned whether the referendum results would be the same if <br />taken today. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 1 (Stigney) Motion carried. <br /> <br />C. 7:15 p.m. Public Hearing to Consider Possible Suspension or Revocation of <br />Liquor License for Moe’s, held by JWM Investments, Inc. <br /> <br />Clerk-Administrator Ericson presented the past consideration of Moe’s liquor license and <br />advised that since Moe’s has paid the State liquor tax delinquency, which was verified by staff, <br />and payment was made to Ramsey County toward the property tax delinquency, the City <br />Attorney has recommended the public hearing not be held at this time. Clerk-Administrator <br />Ericson stated this item is informational so no action is required. <br /> <br />D.

The request is being <br />made because the Ordahl home was sold in February of 2008 and they now want to sell the <br />vacant parcel. It was noted last year’s approval of a similar subdivision for this property had <br />expired. At that approval, the Council had decided to not require a 5% park dedication fee but to
