<br />ARDEN HlLLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES <br />APRIL 11, 2005 <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />B. PURCHASE OF WORK TOOLS FOR THE OPERATIONS AND <br />MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT <br /> <br />Mr. Moore stated this will be the first major tool purchase for the 0 & M Department since <br />1986. Currently, tools are replaced on an indi'lidual basis and only when funds are available. <br />Over the past 19 years, tools have not been replaced due to a shortage of funds. In addition, 0 & <br />M staff has been bringing their personal tools from home to complete City projects. This is <br />especially the case with any automotive work. <br /> <br />He indicated the tools would be purchased from Sears and would be from the Craftsman line. <br />This will be the first 0 & M purchase that does not use the Minnesota Cooperative Purchase <br />Venture (CPV). Sears was able to beat the price of the vendor that holds the State contract, <br />Snap-On Tools. <br /> <br />He noted the City Council has allocated $10,500 in the 2005 Budget for the possible purchase of <br />tools for the 0 & M Department. Based on the final total cost of $8,945.52 for the purchase of <br />new tools, there would be a cost savings realized of $1 ,554.48. <br /> <br />He recommended the City Council authorize the purchase of new tools for the 0 & M <br />Department at a cost not to exceed $8,945.52, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked how much was usually spent on work tools. She asked what <br />would happen as the year went on and other tools might be needed, Mr. Moore replied this was <br />funding was coming out of the Capital Improvement Plan and this was a one time purchase and <br />staff did not expect any other tools being needed. If they needed additional tools, they would <br />purchase that particular tool at the hardware store and this would come out of the General Fund. <br /> <br />Ms, Wolfe stated it was her understanding that they did not have a complete set oflools on hand <br />and that she did not foresee a need to have a large expense like this again in the near future. She <br />also stated that as tools needed to be replaced, they would be replaced on an individual basis. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a <br />motion to authorize purchase of new tools for the 0 & M Department at a <br />cost not to exceed $8,945.52. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />C. PLANNING CASE 05-06: CITY OF ARDEN HILLS. 1245 W.
