OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE
EDINA CITY COUNCIL HELD AT CITY HALL
OCTOBER 19,2004
5:00 P.M.
ROLLCALL Answering rollcall were Members Housh, Hovland, Kelly and Mayor
Maetzold. Member Masica was absent.
Mayor Maetzold stated the purpose of the Special Meeting was to review in detail the
proposed 2005 Operating Budget for the City. He suggested that the Council page
through the budget and ask any questions or raise items for discussion. Mayor
Maetzold noted that in early December 2004 the Council would conduct a Truth in
Taxation hearing before final budget adoption later in December.
The Council reviewed the entire budget asking questions and discussing issues as they
went. Consensus was that the City Hall Art Committee should receive their seed money
for the proposed "City Hall Art Scape", but perhaps the Committee should be formally
appointed. It was also the consensus of the Council to increase the employee benefit
package by $20.00/month for 2005. It was directed that staff review the City's
insurance before renewal time to see if any cost savings can be found.
There being no further business on the Council Agenda, Mayor Maetzold declared the
meeting adjourned at 6:50 P.M.
