ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL— MARCH 26, 2001 13 <br /> MOTION: Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a motion <br /> to approve the change order in the amount of$22,249. The motion carried <br /> unanimously (5-0). <br /> Mayor Probst stated as for the technology, security and generator, they need to direct the staff. <br /> He noted he does prefer to go down the path of the mobile generator. He added it gives them <br /> another piece of equipment to use in the lift station. He stated a likely cause of a problem would <br /> be the weather. He noted if city hall is damaged, a permanently installed generator does not do <br /> much good. He added he supports what is purposed. <br /> Mr. Lynch stated they could pay for a portion of the generator from utility funds. He noted it <br /> would not hit the general fund capital as hard. <br /> Councilmember Rem asked if there would be a monthly charge on the security system. She also <br /> questioned whether the $18,000 would include the cards and programming. Mr. Lynch <br /> responded it includes software and training. He stated it would be a nominal charge to buy the <br /> cards. He noted there is a basic package of cards that comes with it. <br /> Councilmember Grant asked if there is a server as part of the technology plan. He stated it <br /> should have a separate UPS as part of the plan. He noted in the event of a catastrophe they might <br /> need to access that information. He added it should include an online battery pack for the city's <br /> server in event of a catastrophic event. <br /> Mr. Lynch stated they have to indicate on what level the Army National Guard should office. He <br /> noted they have asked for one office and 150 square feet on the lower level for training. <br /> Mayor Probst stated he has no strong opinion either way. He thinks the Guard representative <br /> would be all right having access to the upper level. <br /> Councilmember Rem stated if they have an unoccupied office on the main floor, it seems all <br /> right to have one office up and one down. <br /> Councilmember Aplikowski stated she is in agreement that staff could work it out. She noted <br /> she thinks staff should hold firm on the lower level. She added they may need that office before <br /> the five-year term is up. She stated it was the original agreement and would be more in tune with <br /> keeping in the lower level. <br /> MOTION: Mayor Probst moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to <br /> approve the proposal by staff about the Technology, Security, Maintenance, and <br /> Furnishing options for City Hall. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS <br /> Mr. Lynch stated the Mills Corporation has contacted the city. He noted they are ready to meet <br /> with the Councilmembers individually on April 2, 2001. He added their representative would be <br />
