I I I Council Meeting Minutes August 12, 1986 Council Business, continued Motion by Williams, seconded by Gunderman, to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE MODIFIED PROPOSED RESOLUTION REGARDING WILLIAMS PIPELINE COMPANY AND THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTA- TION, OFFICE OF PIPELINE SAFETY. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Benke announced Sinda would be attending a meeting in Faribault and would indicate this city's concerns. Williams complimented staff on accuracy of minutes; Brandt concurred; and Schmidt noted a vast improvement over what had been recorded in the past. Egan introduced Rob Tautges from Voto, Reardon, Tautges & Co., Inc., the city's auditors. Tautges briefly reviewed the report, noted the auditor's recommendations, and indicated how legisla- tion could affect the city's bonds. Schmidt commented that receiving the report, in light of last evening's meeting in terms of the financial analysis of where we are at and some of the considerations for the long term implica- tions of new plans and new programs (what affect they may have as the state and federal governments continue to squeeze the pipeline), would warrant further consideration of those staff recommendations. Benke commented that last night councilmembers saw a lot of projects and proposals that would be very desirable and noted that, with this financial projection and the additional bottom- line information that yet needs to be dealt with in the budget process, there will be a lot of tough decisions to be made. In response to Brandt's request, Egan stated it is standard practice for the Financial Policy Advisory Board to receive a copy of the 1985 Annual Report. Benke received the report and noted, where appropriate, staff will report on information and status. Williams asked for a pOint-by-point summary to be sure we have all bases covered; Benke asked Sinda to have a summary drawn up. Proper had nothing further to add to the staff report for bids for Project 86-10, Streets and Utilities for Seminary Estates, and recommended awarding the bid to Richard Knutson Construction for $406,521.55. Motion by Schmidt, seconded by Williams, to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION AWARDING THE BID FOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 86-10 TO RICHARD CONSTRUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF $406,521.55. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Page Fourteen Presentation: 1985 Annual Report Report 86-183A Project 86-10: Bids for Streets and Ut il it i es - Seminary Estates Report 86-184 Resolution 86-83
