Mounds View City Council June 25, 2007 <br />Regular Meeting Page 8 <br /> <br />Council Member Flaherty asked if the other two lots have been sold. 1 <br /> 2 <br />The Applicant indicated that they intend to finish the inside of the home and sell it and then to 3 <br />sell each lot individually. 4 <br /> 5 <br />Mayor Marty said that he thought this was done already. He then said that he likes the fact of 6 <br />trying to keep some of the trees, if possible, to build and construct around them. 7 <br /> 8 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Mueller. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7100, 9 <br />Approving the Final Plat for the Subdivision of 8360 Long Lake Road. 10 <br /> 11 <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 12 <br /> 13 <br /> G. Resolution 7079, Approving the Purchase of a New Postage Machine 14 <br /> 15 <br />Assistant to the Administrator Crane outlined the quotes for the new postage machine for 16 <br />Council. Staff explained that the quotes provided at the work session have changed because the 17 <br />Post Office only makes a 10 pound and 30 pound scale and the 30 pound scale is very expensive. 18 <br /> 19 <br />Assistant to the Administrator Crane reviewed the quotes and noted that Staff would like to 20 <br />purchase the machine from Minnesota Mailing Solutions as the City has been using Pitney 21 <br />Bowes for over 10 years and Staff would like to use another company as they have had very poor 22 <br />customer service from Pitney Bowes. 23 <br /> 24 <br />Council Member Stigney asked if Staff asked Minnesota Mailing Solutions to beat the quote. 25 <br /> 26 <br />Assistant to the Administrator Crane said that she could do that but has spent a lot of time 27 <br />negotiating already. She then said that Staff would be without a postage machine for a couple of 28 <br />weeks if asked to delay. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Council Member Mueller said that it is difficult to meet or beat when the first company will not 31 <br />specifically state what the price will be. 32 <br /> 33 <br />Council Member Mueller asked if the postage machine will be depreciated as a capital 34 <br />improvement. 35 <br /> 36 <br />Finance Director Beer indicated that is correct and it will depreciate about $800 per year. 37 <br /> 38 <br />Council Member Hull asked how many service calls there are per month. 39 <br /> 40 <br />Ms. Crane indicated it is at least once a week now. 41 <br /> 42 <br />Council Member Flaherty said that as soon as you start shopping quotes then people will not 43 <br />quote you. 44 <br /> 45
