City Council Regular Meeting - 02/28/05 Minutes - Page 2 A. Shannon Meyer, President of the Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce Ms. Meyer invited and encouraged the City of Roseville to become a participant in and provided demographic information and an overview of the organization. Mayor Klausing invited Ms. Meyer to provide additional information to City Manager Beets for consideration during 2006 budget discussions. B. Rob Hallum, New Mech Companies, St. Paul, MN At the invitation of Councilmember Kough, Mr. Hallum offered his company as an engineering resource for the City Council as they further considered chiller problems at the John Rose OVAL. Councilmember Kough encouraged Councilmembers to fully consider the services offered by Mr. Hallum's firm, at an estimated investigative fee of $2,500 for inspection of the basket, prior to considering whether or not retubing was feasible or the best course of action. Councilmember Kough noted that discussion was scheduled at the March 14, 2005 regular Council meeting, at which he would not be in attendance. Discussion included alternatives available; timing of repairs for next season's ice; and possible reasons for the tubes failing due to corrosion of the brine solution. Mayor Klausing questioned whether the Public Comment portion of the meeting was an appropriate time for this discussion; and suggested that Mr. Hallum submit additional information and a proposal to staff prior to the March 14, 2005 meeting to allow staff and the Task Force to review it, both the mechanical and operational Task Forces, prior to Council consideration. Councilmember Schroeder recommended that, if this option was to be considered on March 14, 2005, that the procedures for evaluation in bid form be developed for Council information and review.
