Floodway Reduction Update Mr. March said the letter in the Council packet from Mr: Dave Nyberg is self explanatory. Based on earlier Council action, (to discontinue pursuing the purchase of the Lake Area Utility's Building). The City may want to contact Mr. Lessard and Ms. Joyce Green and inform them that the City will not continue to contribute funds toward the flood reduction process. The Council took no further action. Flood Plain Ordinance Amendment Mr. March lightly touched upon the ramifications if the Council elects not to approve the Flood Plain O, divam& amendment.

City Hall Computer Bid Specifications/Quotes Ms. Gaustad gave an overview of the computer bids and specifications /quotes. As directed, Staff requested vendors to adjust their original quotes to reflect 8.4 gig hard drive and without tax and indicate the installation time. Since there had been changes in the market each vendor was asked to rebid the whole project. This was done in hopes to keep the process as fair as possible: Gaustad distributed a sheet which depicts each vendors final quote. Councilmember Sweeney noted that Staff included certain items, understanding that some adjustments will be made. Councilmember Nelson reported after speaking to several computer professionals, that using NT will require a Computer Administrator. Councilmember Sweeney suggested a peer to peer network. Councilmember Sweeney explained that Windows `9$ is capable of creating a fire wall, which will protect the accounting software from outside hackers. Ms. Gaustad commented all presented options would not be purchased, it was planned to eliminate items and add items as needed. Moreover, it was difficult to predict future price and need fluctuations. Mr. March confirmed Councilmember Nelson question that there is a $15,000 budget for the computers. The Council agreed the two proposals that indicate there is no cost (option 1) or one year /$30 thereafter (option 3) was nice for office support.
