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

The motion carried unanimously (5-0). ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS Mr. Lynch stated the Mills Corporation has contacted the city.
