(Motion passed 4-0). E. Request for contribution from Oakdale/Lake Elmo Historical Society The City received a letter from Louise Friedrich, on behalf of the Oakdale/Lake Elmo Historical Society, requesting a $1,750.00 contribution from the City for estimated expenses for the Society's exhibition expenses at the Historic Courthouse from March 31 to August 2, 1996. The City was also made aware of the gift (approx. 22 binders, 9 file boxes of historical documents, 1 box of historical pictures) Louise Friedrich has made to the City. Ms. Friedrich has a concern that the Society now refers to the documents as "theirs". Kueffner suggested the City Attorney review the "gift" agreement so we do not lose control or possession of these documents.

(Motion passed 4-0). F. Purchase of Copier, Facsimile and Color Copier A quotation was received from D.C. Hey for replacement of our current copy machine and facsimile and a new color copier. Bids were not solicited on these items because D.C.Hey is a Government Sales Agent and we would not be able to get a better price from anyone else. The total package is $20,584.25 for all three pieces of equipment and the City budgeted $21,000 to replace the copy machine. M/S/P Hunt/John - to approve the purchase of a Sharp SD-2060 copier system, a Sharp FO-3350 Facsiimle and a Cannon CJ-10 Color Copy System for $20,584.25 plus sales tax ($1,337.98) for a total of $21,922.23 which is within the budgeted amount. (Motion passed 4-0). G. Insurance Renewal The City received a quotation for the City's insurance for 1996/97 from Zignego Agency Inc. The premium has actually gone down $1,955.00. The City must make a choice every year if it wants excess liability of an additional $1,000,000 coverage and the additional coverage for alleged Open Meeting violations. The City has never taken the excess liability, but has taken the additional Open Meeting coverage. M/S/P John/Johnston - to approve the payment of $30,451.00 for 1996/97 including coverage for Open Meeting Laws as quoted in the February 6, 1996 memo from Zignego Insurance; further that the City declines the excess liability option.
