LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES August 4, 2010 2 Authorization to purchase GPS Equipment and Software Bruce Messelt, City Administrator, asked the Council to authorize the purchase of Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment and associated software for $7,820.00 and rental of an additional antenna for $256 per month. The antenna rental is being requested to determine if the additional accuracy it would provide is needed and if the equipment would be user-friendly enough to be purchased in the future. The funds to pay for the proposed purchase would come from the benefiting departments’ existing 2010 budget, primarily the Public Works Department. GPS is a space-based global navigation satellite system that provides reliable location and time information in all weather and at all times anywhere on or near the earth when and where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. MOTION: Council Member DeLapp moved to authorize the purchase of Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment and associated software for $7,820.00 with the rental of an additional antenna for $256 per month for two months. Council Member Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed 3-0. Final Adoption of Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan Update; Resolution No. 2010-039 - DELETED Attorney Snyder reported that based on the record, it was his opinion that there was a proper comprehensive plan submitted and approved; therefore, the City has a valid comprehensive plan.
