Motion by Mayor Gamec and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to recommend Council adopt <br />the resolution authorizing line item reallocations in the 1997 Adopted Budget for Cost Center <br />452 - Park Maintenance. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Haas Steffen suggested that a reallocation be a certain dollar <br />amount before it has to come to Council. <br /> <br />Motion carried.

Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #7: Authorize Purchase of One-Ton Pick-Up with Dump Box <br /> <br />Finance Officer Hart reported that included in the 1997 Adopted General Fund Budget is <br />$25,000 for the purchase of a one-ton truck equipped with a dump box. This truck will be used <br />primarily for parks and utilities and is an addition to the fleet to meet the needs of this <br />department. It is not anticipated that this truck will be utilized in snow plow operations other <br />than to be available to transport the skid steer loader for snow removal operations (such as <br />around hydrants). This purchase had been delayed pending budget amendment recommendations <br />from the Parks/Utilities Supervisor for budget line items that are significantly over budget. <br />(These were addressed in the previous case.) Ms. Hart noted that as members of the Hennepin <br />County Purchasing Cooperative, we have the opportunity to purchase equipment and vehicles <br />through contracts already subjected to the statutory bidding laws, eliminating the need to go <br />through the bidding process ourselves. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to recommend <br />Council adopt the resolution authorizing the purchase of a one-ton pick-up truck with dump box. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Beyer, Beahen and <br />Zimmerman. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #8: <br /> <br />Review Recommended Changes to 1998 Budget Requests and Schedule <br />Additional Work Session(s) During November <br /> <br />Finance Officer Hart presented, for review, the recommended increases and decreases to the <br />1998 General Fund budget requests - the projected revenues and requested expenditures. She <br />stated that a balanced budget document has to be in place before the public hearing, therefore, the <br />Council must meet for work sessions on the budget. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Committee was to recommend Council accept the recommendations for the <br />1998 General Fund Budget and schedule a work session to discuss these changes for Monday, <br />November 3, 1997, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., with a reconvene date, if necessary, of <br />Thursday, November 6, 1997. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Gamec and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adjourn the meeting. <br /> <br />Finance Committee/October 28, 1997 <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
