Mounds View City Council February 23, 2026 Regular Meeting Page 10 Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson indicated no funds would come out of the 2026 1 budget, noting the expense for the dump truck would come out of the 2027 budget. He explained 2 by preordering the dump truck now, the City would lock in the current price. He commented further 3 on how the life expectancy for the dump trucks may have to be extended going forward given the 4 rising costs for these pieces of equipment. 5 6 Mayor Lindstrom inquired if the $220,000 that was budgeted for the dump truck was based on the 7 cost of a previous unit. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson stated the last dump 8 truck purchased was $201,000 in 2011. 9 10 Vince Meyer, 8380 Spring Lake Road, questioned if the City would receive a rebate if the tariffs 11 go down between now and when the City takes receipt of the dump truck. Public Works/Parks and 12 Recreation Director Peterson explained he has not seen costs go down for this type of equipment. 13 14 MOTION/SECOND: Meehlhause/. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 10216, 15 Approving the Purchase of One (1) Replacement Dump Truck. 16 17 Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 18 19 E. Resolution 10218 and First Reading of Ordinance 1056, Stewardship of 20 Municipal Resources. 21 22 City Administrator Zikmund requested the Council hold the first reading of an Ordinance 23 regarding stewardship of municipal resources. He explained the amicus brief was making its way 24 through the court based on the actions of the City Council from February 2. He reported the 25 proposed Resolution and Ordinance were staff’s attempt to address the Council’s feedback from 26 February 2. He then provided the City Council with a handout from the City Attorney. He reiterated 27 that this was the First Reading of the Ordinance and the Council could provide staff with feedback 28 and amendments could be made to the Ordinance prior to the Second Reading. 29 30 Council Member Clark reported the direction from the City Attorney was to create a policy and 31 refer to this policy within the Ordinance. City Administrator Zikmund reported this was the case. 32 33 Council Member Clark recommended the definitions under staging operations within the 34 Ordinance have the sentence end after the word personnel as this would eliminate the definition of 35 federal immigration in staging operations. 36 37 Council Member Gunn did not see the need for the change. 38 39 Council Member Clark indicated she was proposing to make the definition more ambiguous. She 40 did not want the Ordinance to speak to a single event. City Administrator Zikmund stated this was 41 a reasonable language change. 42 43 Council Member Smith stated if the words “for the purpose of enforcing civil immigration”, the 44 City could be opened for no one being able to stage operations in Mounds View. 45 46
