(5-0) Sale of Public Works Truck Council was referred to Raddatz' memo of 1/31/86, asking Council's approval to consummate sale of the one ton truck with plow, to the highest bidder, if that bid is $4,500 or over. The scheduled date of bid opening is February 6, and since Council's next meeting has been re-scheduled to February 24, would prefer to sell the truck earlier.

REPORT OF CLERK ADMINISTRATOR CHARLOTTE MCNIESH Approval of 1985 Year End Transfers Council was referred to McNiesh's memo of 1/31/86 detailing recommended year-end transfers to be made. McNiesh reported the estimated 1985 income from Federal Revenue Sharing was $43,000; actual amount received was about $600 below this, thus transfer from Federal Revenue Sharing to the General Fund will be about $600 less. In 1985, Village budgeted $100,000 for a third fire station; since this is not going to be expended, McNiesh recommended that $50.000 be transferred to the Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund, and the balance remain in the General Fund, so that the cash balance in the General Fund at the end of 1985 will be about the same as at the beginning of the year. Col- lection of taxes levied is currently less than budgeted, partly due to tax abatements and partly due to delinquencies. Motion was made by Sather, seconded by Peck, that Council authorize year-end transfers as recommended by McNiesh. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) It was noted that with extra expenses already occurring in 1986 and the prospect of decreased revenue, Village may have expenses exceeding income in the current year. Approval for AmeriData Hard Disk and Multimate TraininR Course Sather moved. seconded by Peck, that Council approve Shirley Marshall's attending courses as suggested. with the understanding that the training received will then be passed on to other Village employees. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) . Resolution No. 86-6, Chanaina Precinct No.4 Boundaries McNiesh explained that this resolution will merge precinct no. 5, which includes the Arden Manor Mobile Home (all voters north of STH 96) with precinct no. 4, which has the Village Hall as its polling place. Rationale for this change is (1) this will equalize the size of the precincts (precinct 4 will be about the same size as precinct 3) and (2) provide handicap access at the polling place (precinct 5 does not have handicap access). It was moved by Sather, seconded by Peck, that Council approve Resolution No. 86-6, RESOLUTION CHANGING PRECINCT NO. 4 BOUNDARIES FOR THE CITY OF ARDEN HILLS. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
