Mounds View City Council December 30, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 4 E. Resolution 5908 Authorizing Payment to Northwest Youth & Family Services for the 135 Year 2003 136 137 Council Member Thomas requested that Item C be removed for discussion. 138 139 MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Sonterre. To Approve Consent Agenda Items A, B, D, and E as 140 Presented. 141 142 Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 143 144 MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Sonterre. To Approve Consent Agenda Item C as Presented. 145 146 Council Member Thomas asked why this was being requested now when Council recently 147 discussed that the City was not going to purchase any equipment for the cable department 148 without first having an inventory provided and Council discussion on the plan for the future for 149 the department. 150 151 Mr. Gamble indicated that, since he was hired, he has been working on getting things 152 straightened out and he feels all the issues are resolved but he will work on more training with 153 Dave to ensure there are no issues with recording and broadcasting meetings. 154 155 Council Member Thomas indicated that was not the question, the question is what kind of 156 equipment does the City have and what does the City need based on a plan approved by Council 157 for the future. She then said that Staff had been asked to submit a plan for the department to 158 Council for approval and that needs to happen before any equipment purchases will be approved. 159 160 Mr. Gamble indicated he had provided an inventory to the Administrator to carry on with the 161 plans from the previous cable coordinator. He then said that his plan is very consistent with the 162 previous cable coordinator and technology becomes outdated very quickly and needs to be 163 replaced. 164 165 Council Member Thomas indicated the previous person had a plan but that plan was never 166 discussed and approved by the Council and continuing with that plan is not something she wants 167 to see happen. 168 169 Mayor Sonterre indicated there was a conceptual plan for the department but no functional plan 170 was ever submitted to Council for consideration and approval. 171 172 City Administrator Miller indicated she had received the information from Mr. Gamble and had 173 asked for further information that has now been provided. She then said that there was not time 174 to have this matter at a work session and recommended that the new Council have it set for 175 discussion. 176 177 Mr. Gamble agreed to work with Council on any information they need to move forward with the 178 cable equipment. 179
