• FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -5- December 10, 2003 Establishment of NE Quadrant Traffic Task Force (continued) Council member Talbot said that traffic is a hot issue and it isn't something that is easily resolved overnight. He endorsed the formation of a Traffic Task Force. Lindstrom moved approval of the establishment of the NE Quadrant Traffic Task Force, and endorsement of the roster. The motion was unanimously approved. Technolog~pgrades Due to the Conversion of the City's Computer Network Administrator Worthington said the City is in the process of converting its computer network over to Roseville's network. As part of the conversion, there are several workstations that either need to be upgraded or replaced because the hardware will not support the network program that Roseville uses. Roseville will make new computers available to us at their contract price, and used computers for a nominal fee. In addition, we will be able to purchase software upgrades for some existing computers under their contract arrangement. The following workstations will be updated, or replaced: • Department: Public Works 1 new, 1 used $1,200 Planning 1 new $1,100 Finance 1 new $1,000 Recreation 1 used $100 Forestry 1 used $100 Administration 3 upgrades $1,353 Total $4,853 While this amount does not exceed the Administrator's expenditure limit, it is very close, so staff wanted to get Council approval on this expenditure. The funds for this expenditure will be taken from the 2003 CIP allocation under General Capital for Computer Replacement in the amount of $4,000, and $853 from the GIS line item in the General Capital portion of the budget. The increased functionality, and network services will also be provided to our GIS efforts, so this is a logical funding source for this expenditure. A brief discussion followed. Kuettel moved approval of the expenditure of $4,853 for the replacement and upgrade of computer equipment due to the conversion of the City's computer network. The motion was • unanimously approved.
