Replacement of Voice Mail System 6 <br /> 7 <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated that there was a lightening strike at City Hall and the 8 <br />Community Center and the strike at City Hall damaged the voice mail system. He then indicated 9 <br />that Staff has contacted the League of Minnesota Cities and been informed that they will treat it 10 <br />as one claim thereby saving the City one deductible. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated that the cost to replace the voice mail system would be 13 <br />approximately $8,020.00 plus sales tax and would include basic installation. He then cautioned 14 <br />that the costs could climb to approximately $8,500 if further installation is needed. He further 15 <br />indicated that the funds would come out of the contingency in the general fund and be 16 <br />reimbursed through the insurance claim. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Council Member Quick asked whether it would be more cost effective to replace the entire phone 19 <br />system rather than just the voicemail component. 20 <br /> 21 <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated it would be substantially more expensive to do so. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Council Member Quick asked how the voicemail is functioning now. 24 <br /> 25 <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated that the City is using a loaner computer at a charge of $500.00 26 <br />per month. 27 <br /> 28 <br />Council Member Stigney indicated that since this is an insurance claim he would prefer to 29 <br />replace that part of the system. 30 <br /> 31 <br />Council Member Quick indicated he made the suggestion to see if it would be more cost 32 <br />effective if the system is outdated. 33 <br /> 34 <br />Council agreed that the telephone system was new enough that it was not necessary to research 35 <br />replacing the whole system. 36 <br /> 37 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Gunn.
