Poor policy to tie up large amounts of money. <br />2. Sets priority of Parks over other services. <br />3. Ties up money when rates can shift. <br />4. 4/5 vote requirement in ordinance is "over kill". <br />5. Nay vote is not intended as a vote against parks. <br /> <br />Councilmember Benke stated that the Council <br />was going over the same points covered by <br />the Council previously, and that he shared <br />some of the same concerns the Mayor had. <br /> <br />Councilmember Blomquist stated that this <br />ordinance guarantees long term financing for <br />parks. <br /> <br />Motion by Blomquist, seconded by Schmidt to <br />waive the reading hold the second reading, adopt <br />and order publication of an ORDINANCE AMENDING <br />CHAPTER 2 OF THE NEW BRIGHTON CITY CODE BY THE <br />ADDITION OF ARTICLE VI RELATING TO EXPENDITURES <br />OF REVENUES DERIVED FROM THE SALE OF LONG LAKE <br />PARK LANDS. <br /> <br />4 Ayes - 1 Nay(Harcus) - motion carried <br /> <br />The City Engineer reviewed the staff report <br />regarding bids received on projects 83-5, 83-6 <br />and 83-7. <br /> <br />Motion by Blomquist, seconded by Janecek to <br />adopt a RESOLUTION AWARDING THE BID FOR IMPROVE- <br />MENT PROJECTS 83-5, 83-6 and 83-7 TO THE LOW <br />BIDDER, BURCHVILLE CONSTRUCTION INC.
