She noted that Ramsey's <br />anniversary is in 1999, and $10,000 was allocated for that purpose in the 1999 budget. However, <br />the City will be incurring some pre-celebration costs in 1998. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Gamec and seconded by Councilmember Haas Steffen to recommend that City <br />Council authorize allocating $5,000.00 from the Council's 1998 Contingency Fund for City of <br />Ramsey 25th Anniversary Celebration costs. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Beahen and <br />Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Absent: CouncilmemberBeyer. <br /> <br />Case #2: Authorize Request For Proposals For Banking Services <br /> <br />Finance Officer Lund stated that about one year ago, the City entered into an unwritten <br />agreement with Landmark Bank for banking services. The meeting minutes from that time <br />period reflect that a three-year contract was contemplated, but Mayor Gamec and <br />Councilmember Ste£fen were opposed to that term and the resolution adopted makes no reference <br />to a three-year contract. Ms. Lund requested that the Finance Committee make a <br />recommendation to Council that staff be directed to solicit quotes from both banks located in <br />Ramsey (Landmark and Northland) for banking services. <br /> <br /> Finance Committee/October 13, 1998 <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
