A work session/special meeting of the Morristown City Council was called to order on Monday, February 22, 2010 at 6:10 p.m. in the Council Chambers at 402 Division Street South by Mayor Kurt Wolf.

The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.    

2009 budget review was discussed. Council discussed why some accounts were over budget and whether or not the accounts were correct. There were some disbursements in wrong accounts.
Schmidtke noticed that some of the beginning balances were not correct, which would make it look like the budget was over for the year. Kristalyn Morris said she would fix that and then see where the budget is at.
Schmidtke questioned if Kristalyn Morris checks the disbursement funds at the end of the month when she is doing the financials. Kristalyn Morris stated that she did not, unless something looked like it was out of place she will pull and look at the receipt.
It was questioned if we needed as many object codes that we are using right now. Wolf stated he likes to have that many so that he can look at the break down. It was decided to leave the object code as they are.
It was decided that both Kuball and Kristalyn Morris will look at the object codes monthly and make sure that everything is going into the right account, before checks are written.
Schmidtke questioned the payment for the community center and if money was transferred to cover it. Kuball will check on the payment amount.
Schmidtke questioned if cross training should be going on with the financials, so that if Kristalyn Morris is absent Kuball could help out with that.
Kristalyn Morris is working on figuring out the cash control statements; nothing matches from when she did them earlier in the year. Kristalyn is questioning if there is an issue with the accounting system. 

Motion by Karsten to take a cut in 2010 wages for council members, Motion was rescinded.

Investment policy was discussed Schmidtke said she thought it looked good.
Motion by Lang seconded by Flaten and motion carries to adopt the Investment Policy.

Dan Morris stated that the Eagles in Waseca closed the door and we should get someone to call and see if we could help them out by contacting wedding bookings to see if anyone still needs a spot for upcoming weddings.
