Approving Purchases/Contracts in Excess of $5,000 <br />Kysylyczyn moved, Schroeder seconded approval of the <br />general payment of $5,000.00 to the Roseville Ambassador <br />Foundation for the 2003 City contribution. <br /> <br />Roll Call <br />Ayes: Maschka, Kough, Schroeder, Klausing and <br />Kysylyczyn. <br />Nays: None. <br /> <br />Vendor Item/Description Amount <br />Hewlett Packard Laptops for field inspectors $5,437.89 <br /> <br />Mayor Kysylyczyn sought City Attorney comment, as <br />previously requested, regarding the purchase of these items <br />with 2002 monies in the fiscal year 2003. <br /> <br />City Attorney Scott Anderson reported that he and City <br />Attorney Squires had reviewed State Statute, and found no <br />determinations; that this was routinely done by the cities, <br />school districts and counties their firm represented; and <br />rather than being a legal issue, appeared to be one of general <br />accounting principles. <br /> <br />Mayor Kysylyczyn sought clarification on where the <br />budgeted resources went at the end of a fiscal year if not <br />expended. <br /> <br />Finance Director Chris Miller responded that this unique <br />situation was an accounting practice question; that the <br />original budgeted funds were within the Community <br />Development Fund for the purpose of laptop purchases, as <br />requested and provided for in the 2002 budget. Mr. Miller <br />elaborated that, due to timing differences, staff often makes <br />numerous purchases in a fiscal year that are not invoiced for <br /> <br />Purchases and <br />Contracts in <br />Excess of $5,000 <br />
