Motion by Mayor Gamec and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to recommend that City <br />Council authorize City Staff to solicit quotes from Northland Security and Landmark Bank for <br />Ramsey's banking services. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Mayor Gamec inquired if Ramsey does any business with Elk River banks. <br />Ms. Lund replied that Ramsey's C.D.'s are with Elk River Bank. It was determined that just as <br />with depositories and brokers, selection of bank for banking services should be done annually by <br />resolution. <br /> <br />Motion carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Beahen and <br />Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Absent: CouncilmemberBeyer. <br /> <br />Case #3: Consider Accepting Snowmobile Enforcement Grant <br /> <br />Police Chief Gustafson was present requesting that the Finance Committee make a <br />recommendation to City Council authorizing the Police Chief to enter into a $1,000 matching <br />grant with the DNR for snowmobile enforcement activities. Upon inquiry, Chief Gustafson <br />confirmed that the City's $1,000.00 match is in the Police Department budget. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Gamec and seconded by Councilmember Haas Steffen to recommend that City <br />Council approve entering into a $1,000.00 matching grant with DNR for snowmobile <br />enforcement activities. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Councilmember Haas Steffen noted that with the first dusting of snow, the <br />City is inundated with complaint calls. Many of them are from people who own property <br />adjacent to roadways approved for snowmobile traffic. She stated that she would like to see part <br />of the grant money used to send out a highly visible notice, perhaps as a special insert in the City <br />newsletter, informing people along these corddors that although they spend the time and money <br />to maintain a lawn into the ditch or right-of-way, these areas are lawful for snowmobile use and <br />there isn't anything the City can do to prohibit this activity. This notice should go out twice, and <br />the first should be before the first snowfall. Staff wasn't sure if there was enough time to place <br />such a notice in the next City Newsletter. Ms. Lund suggested that enclosing a notice in the next <br />quarterly billing statements from Connexus may also be an option. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Beahen and <br />Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Absent: CouncilmemberBeyer. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Mayor Gamec to adjourn the meeting <br />of the Finance Committee. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
