FINANCE COMMITTEE <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br />ANOKA COUNTY <br />STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />The Ramsey Finance Committee conducted a regular meeting on Tuesday, May 28, 1996, at the <br />Ramsey Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW, Ramsey, Minnesota. <br /> <br />Members Present: <br /> <br />Mayor Glen Hardin <br />Councilmember Carolyn Beahen <br />Councilmember Sheila Beyer <br />Councilmember Kenneth Peterson <br />Councilmember Gerald Zimmerman <br /> <br />Also Present: <br /> <br />City Administrator Ryan Schroeder <br />Finance Officer Jessie Hart <br />Administrative Services Manager Linda Wake Smith <br /> <br />CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson called the regular meeting of the Finance Committee to order at 6:08 p.m. <br /> <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />APPROVE AGENDA <br /> <br />Consensus was to approve the agenda as presented. <br /> <br />COMMITTEE BUSINESS <br /> <br />Case #1: Consider Budget Amendment for the Purchase of One Mobile Radio <br /> <br />Finance Officer Hart informed the Finance Committee that there is a vehicle, jointly used by the <br />streets and parks crews, that does not have a mobile radio. Most of the existing radios are 25 watts <br />and will reach to approximately the City limits, although we try to put higher wattage radios <br />(approximately 40 watts) in vehicles that might travel outside of the City. Quotes have been <br />obtained for a 25 and a 40 watt radio that is compatible with our mobile base unit and consistent <br />with existing models. The cost of the 40 watt is only an additional $68. It would be desirable to <br />purchase the 40 watt and swap it into a vehicle that currently has a 25 watt and travels outside of <br />the City. The total cost of the 40 watt radio would be $522.19, which includes antenna, <br />installation, and sales tax. Ms. Hart noted that, while there is not direct funding identified in the <br />Adopted 1996 Operating Budget, there remains sufficient funding available in the Council <br />Contingency. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to recommend <br />Council adopt the resolution authorizing a budget amendment ~locating $525 from the Council <br />contingency for the purchase of one mobile radio. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Zimmem~an, Beyer, Beahen and <br />Peterson. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Finance Committee/May 28, 1996 <br /> Page 1 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
