ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL— APRIL 30, 2001 11 <br /> Mr. Post stated it is actually a result from the higher than budgeted level of licenses and permit <br /> revenue. <br /> Councilmember Grant stated the city did not spend a million dollars on the Ingerson project. He <br /> noted he would like to see $50,000 moved to the PIR fund for future road improvements. <br /> Mayor Probst stated this is surplus and not interest income. <br /> Councilmember Grant stated the money regardless of where it was put earned interest. He noted <br /> he estimates the City earns five percent on its money. He added the City is essentially deferring <br /> doing road projects and making money off that. He stated five percent of a million would be <br /> $50,000. <br /> Councilmember Aplikowski stated in the capital funds they have some large expenditures <br /> coming with the new building. She noted to move it to the other fund would mean they would <br /> have to use it to build roads. She added she is in favor of it going to the Municipal Land and <br /> Buildings Fund. <br /> Councilmember Rem stated she thought to makes sense to put the excess into the road fund. She <br /> noted every time they go through the bid process she is shocked at how the cost goes up. She <br /> added it is clear there is always a need for more money. <br /> MOTION: Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a motion <br /> to approve the transfer of$150,000 to the Land and Municipal Buildings Capital <br /> Fund No. 408. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> In order to accommodate the discussion, Mayor Probst skipped Agenda Item 5 f. He noted it <br /> would be discussed last. <br /> G.
