<br /> MINUTES <br /> <br /> CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br /> AU(=UST 12, 2009 <br /> passing a proficiency test, etc. The consensus was also to address the <br /> issue on a smaller scale for this year, including a combination of hunting <br /> by property owners as well as an organized bow hunt on the St. John's <br /> property. Boss noted the deer issue on the west side of the freeway. <br /> Meemken as]<ed about banning deer feeding. The City Administrator <br /> indicated that such a ban would be very diff cult to enforce. <br /> The City Administrator reported that he will bring a recommendation back <br /> to the Council for consideration. Boss suggested that commercial property <br /> also be included as potential hunting sites. <br /> The Council thanked John Moriarty for his presentation this evening. <br /> SPRINGBROOK The City Administrator reviewed the Finance Director's report <br /> SOFTWARE recommending that the City directly contract with Springbrook for <br /> accounting software support. The Administrator noted that the City <br /> converted to the Springbrook software in early 2001 at a reduced price <br /> with the City of Roseville serving as the main resource for support. Given <br /> various upgrades and conversion that have occurred since that time, the <br /> fact that Roseville is now operating on a new version, and that current <br /> Roseville staff has inherited the support task, continuing the support <br /> function as it currently exists is no longer as effective as it once was. The <br /> Administrator pointed out that while the $3,707 annual cost of support <br /> directly from Springbrook is expensive, it will provide the City with added <br /> efficiency. The Administrator also noted that the additional maintenance <br /> costs can be defrayed by allowing the costs to the City's six TIF District <br /> funds not cun~ently contributing to software expense, thus avoiding any <br /> direct levy impact. <br /> Keis asked how often software support is needed. The Administrator <br /> replied that it is at a frequency where the Roseville staff cannot handle the <br /> support requests, and indicated that staff is thus spending a lot of extra <br /> time trying to work through support issues. McGraw noted that the <br /> support contract is an annual one and its benefit be re-evaluated after a <br /> year. <br /> Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br /> RESOL UTION NO. 2009-8-191- AUTHORIZING THE FINANCE <br /> DIRECTOR TO CONTRACT WITHSPRINGBROOKDIRECTLY <br /> FOR ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE SUPPORT <br /> The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by McGraw. <br /> Ayes (5). <br /> Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. <br /> ]0 <br /> <br />
