T Comprehensive Plan Canceling transfer of funds Assisted Living Change March meeting Letter from the State Auditor regarding General Fund here was a suggestion to build a committee regarding street and sidewalk repairs and the possibility of a comprehensive plan. More information will be gathered. Old Business The council again discussed the WSN billing process and both Country View Estates and Birch Street projects. It seems as though they keep coming back with more engineering fees that we initially budgeted for. This has become as issue in the way they handled the situation. They have not notified us ahead of time that this will happen. A letter will be sent to WSN suggesting the City’s issues with the way they handled their billings and their custom service. It was consensus of the council that WSN would not be hired as engineers for future projects. There is a need to cancel the transfer of funds from the Birch Street project due to the fact that a billing to WSN came in later and there was not enough money in the fund to transfer for the staff work. Fick moved to approve Resolution #2007-1 “Resolution canceling the transfer of funds from the Birch Street project.” Jensen seconded. Roll call vote: those voting for – Fick, Jensen, Grover, Hoff and Ulrich. Those voting against – none. Motion carried.

MCU The mayor received a letter from the State Auditor regarding the General Fund and the lack of a sufficient fund balance. The letter states the need to hold an undesignated fund balance of approximately ½ of the general budget. This is because the first property tax payments and local government aid is not sent out until June and July. A response will be sent to the auditor’s office. The council was in agreement that the following information will be included in the letter:
Grover and Martin reported on a meeting that they attended in Osakis regarding the Central Lakes Trail. There is a real need to promote the use of the trail in our area.
