. . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MAY 13,2002 3 CONSENT CALENDAR a. Claims and Payroll b. Proposal to Install Interior Comer Guards - City Hall c. Proposal for Emergency 200kW Generator for City Hall Councilmember Grant requested Consent Agenda Item b. Proposal to Install Interior Comer Guards - City Hall be moved to 6.c under Unfinished Business. Item c. Councilmember Rem questioned the cost of the Emergency 200kW Generator that was not to exceed $35,000.00 per prior Council's direction, and whether or not the trailer was included. Mr. Moore replied the trailer was included in the cost and the previous estimate that they had discussed did not include quick connect adaptors or sales tax. He stated the box also needed to be wired by an electrician, which could bring the cost up to approximately $40,000.00. Councilmember Aplikowski inquired about screening for the generator. Mayor Probst stated the generator would not be sitting at the City Hall all of the time and would only be used in an emergency and therefore did not need to be screened. Councilmember Larson questioned the fact that 48 other cities did not have this type of a generator. Mr. Moore replied most Cities had installed permanent generators that were on site and were not portable. He stated this generator was a unique and large piece of equipment that would run all of the City Hall. MOTION: Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Rem seconded a motion to approve the items a. and c. of the Consent Agenda contained therein. The motion carried unanimously (5- 0). PUBLIC COMMENTS Mayor Probst invited those present to come forward and address the Council on any items not already on the agenda. No one was present for public comments.
