One of the <br />designations was for computer software licensing in the amount of $16,000. Since that time, staff has <br />completed a comprehensive software inventory for all departments. The result of the inventory <br />showed that the City's software licensing needs are greater than originally anticipated. The total costs <br />to upgrade existing licenses and to acquire the total number of licenses needed at this time is about <br />$36,000. This leaves a significant shortfall in funding for this purpose. <br />Finance Director Rolek indicated that other items identified in Resolution No. 00-66 have been <br />completed at significant savings. Still, other items that had been funded are no longer necessary. The <br />resulting balance from these savings is $20,995. This amount is sufficient to cover the shortfall in <br />funding for the City's computer software licensing needs. <br />Finance Director Rolek indicated the licensing issue is an important one, and needs to be addressed to <br />bring the City into compliance with licensing requirements. Therefore, staff recommends that the <br />savings realized from the other items designated in Resolution No. 00-66 be re -designated toward <br />computer software licensing. The total designation, including the amount designated for this purpose <br />previously, would be $36,000. <br />Finance Director Rolek advised it is staffs recommendation that the City Council approve Resolution <br />No. 01-195, re -designation of Antenna Lease Revenues for Software Licensing. <br />Councilmember Dahl moved to adopt Resolution No. 01 — 195, re -designation of Antenna Lease <br />Revenues for Software Licensing. Councilmember Reinert seconded the motion. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />Resolution No. 01 — 195 can be found in the City Clerk's office. <br />ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT REPORT, LINDA WAITE SMITH <br />Consider Recommendation to Appoint TKDA as City Engineer for 2002, Linda Waite Smith — <br />City Administrator Waite Smith advised TKDA has provided engineering services for Lino Lakes for <br />several years.
