Case #4: Forfeited Dodge 4x4 Pickup Truck <br /> <br />Police Chief Gustafson stated that, in early 2001, Anoka County District Court ruled in favor of <br />the City of Ramsey in a forfeiture motion resulting in the City now being able to own/and or sell <br />a 1997 Dodge pickup truck with very low miles. The value of this vehicle is listed in the blue <br />book at just under $17,000. As of January 24, 2001, there is an outstanding lien in the amount of <br />$13,556.95 on the truck. On January 16, 2001, Council accepted a Minnesota Department of <br />Health grant in the amount of $45,000. These funds will be used to pay the wages and benefits <br />of the Crime Prevention Specialist that was authorized in the 2001 General Fund Budget and <br />approved by Council at the January 16, 2001 meeting. Wages between February 1, 2001 and <br />June 30, 2001 (Grant termination date) would total $15,678. The $15,678 that would be paid by <br />the MN Grant could be used to purchase the 1997 Dodge Pickup. The grant funds received <br />would be in addition to what was budgeted for grant revenue included in the 2001 General Fund <br />Budget. Police Chief Gustafson explained that the reason the Police Department is seeking the <br />truck is because the City has been put in the semi-permanent business of animal control that they <br />truck could be used for. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Gamec, seconded by Councilmember Anderson, to recommend that City <br />Council adopt the resolution Authorizing the purchase and setup of the forfeited 1997 Dodge 4x4 <br />pickup in the amount not to exceed $15,678. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Anderson inquired if the truck will have to be modified <br />considerably to be used for animal control. Police Chief Gustafson replied that that is why there <br />is a $2,000 difference between what is being requested and the lien on the truck. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Anderson, Hendriksen, Kurak, <br />and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #5: City of Anoka Swimming Pool Funding Request <br /> <br />Item was tabled. <br /> <br />Case #6: Update on Elmcrest Park <br /> <br />Item was tabled. <br /> <br />Case #7: <br /> <br />Review and Approve the Bid from GovDocs.com to Provide Internet Access <br />and Delivery Service of the City's Public Documents to Citizens <br /> <br />Item was tabled. <br /> <br />Finance Committee/January 23, 2001 <br /> Page 4 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
