LRRWMO Meeting Minutes October 16, 1991 Page 6 Motion was made by Erickson, seconded by Weaver, to ROLL OVER THE CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT ACCOUNT, WHICH MATURES OCTOBER 25, 1991, CONTINGENT ON NO OUTSTANDING BILLS. 4 ayes - 0 nayes. Motion carried. Erickson indicated September financial activity shows the receipt of the second half membership dues from the City of Anoka. All member cities are now paid up for this year. Erickson noted there is one outstanding bill in the amount of $1,690.60 from Barr Engineering dated June 21, 1991. He recalled the board requested additional detail /breakdown from Skallman prior to payment. No further information has yet been received from Barr. Schrantz noted said bill update was sent to his office at Andover City Hall. The billing detail was reviewed, with Weaver noting two project charges, Lord of Life Church and Kobs Addition, should be taken out of the project fees. Schultz queried what Barr Engineering rates this board should be paying, that of the engineer or the secretarial staff. As for setting up a system for maintenance, as listed under administration, Schultz stated he has a problem paying for their overhead charges. He also felt the engineer should be keeping a more detailed record of phone calls charged to this board. These calls should be tied to and charged to a specific project with payment taken out of said project fee. Schrantz concurred the calls should be broken down further. Weaver concurred this board should not pay for the prepara- tion of this billing or Barr's organizational files. Jankowski concurred adding that should be their overhead expenses built into the engineer's rates this board is paying. Motion was made by Weaver, seconded by Jankowski, to RETURN THIS BILL $1,690.60 TO BARR ENGINEERING AND INDICATE IT IS THE REACTION OF THIS BOARD WE SHOULD NOT BE BILLED FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE DETAILED BILLING. THE HOURLY CHARGE APPEARS TO BE BEYOND THE ENGINEER'S $65.00 PER HOUR SUBMITTED IN AGREEMENT WITH BARR ENGINEERING. FURTHER WE REQUEST A DETAILED TIME ANALYSIS AND TELEPHONE LOG SHOWING THE DATE OF CALLS, TO WHOM HE SPOKE, AND THE TIME SPENT ON EACH CALL.
