Mounds View City Council <br />Special Meeting <br />January 7, 2002 <br />Page 18 <br />• Council Member Thomas asked if it was the consent of Council to direct Staff to look at <br />warranty options or secondary warranties that could be purchased. <br />Council Member Stigney said he wants Mayor Sonterre to provide the warranty. <br />Council Member Thomas indicated she refused to vote on the matter before having more <br />information on the warranty. <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated that the equipment has been in place for approximately 13 months and <br />he would be very surprised if any manufacturer provided a 12-month warranty. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Quick. To Direct Staff to Research the Warranty Issue and <br />Provide Information to Council for discussion. <br />Council Member Marty indicated that the City ordered RBTL1598 and received RBTL1399. He <br />then asked why the City paid for one model and received another. <br />Council Member Stigney said he feels that when you sell equipment to somebody you, as the <br />business owner, should warrant the equipment if it fails. <br />Mayor Sonterre commented that, if the equipment fails, he feels it is the fault of the YMCA <br />• representative for not investigating the equipment prior to purchasing it. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Thomas. To Call the Question. <br />Ayes - 4 Nays - 1 (Marty) Motion carried. <br />Ayes - 3 Nays - 2 (Stigney/Marty) Motion carried. <br />Council Member Quick asked City Administrator Miller if the YMCA was given a catalog and <br />came up with the product. He also asked if the YMCA accepted that product when it was <br />delivered. <br />City Administrator Miller indicated that Council Member Quick was correct. <br />Council Member Quick asked what the role of the person overseeing the finances of the City was <br />in this scenario. <br />City Administrator Miller indicated there were a number of problems with the purchase. <br />Council Member Quick asked whether the Commission approved the purchase and ordered the <br />equipment without Council approval and then accepted delivery of that equipment. <br />• Cit Administrator Miller indicated the check was issued before the a ui ment was received. <br />Y q p <br />
