Mounds View City Council July 28, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 9 <br /> <br /> 1 <br />Ms. Wilkerson indicated that they are all employees of CLIMB just another portion of the 2 <br />organization. 3 <br /> 4 <br />Mayor Linke indicated this would be a 27th location and then explained that CLIMB brings 5 <br />messages to the schools through the use of plays and vignettes and that would not cost anything 6 <br />because it is funded through the gambling proceeds. He then said that he was told that CLIMB is 7 <br />trying to replace DARE because they feel the DARE program is not working. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Ms. Wilkerson indicated that CLIMB has not said that DARE is not working but they were 10 <br />approached to write another program and they have done that. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Ms. Wilkerson indicated that gambling is a fund raising tool and there is no separation from 13 <br />CLIMB and the gambling employees. She then said it is the fundraising that allows them to go 14 <br />into the schools and help and provide these services. 15 <br /> 16 <br />Mayor Linke indicated he would like to postpone this item for further information and have the 17 <br />City Attorney review it. 18 <br /> 19 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Linke/Marty. To Postpone Resolution 6065, a Resolution Approving a 20 <br />Permit Application for CLIMB to Conduct Charitable Gambling Operations within the City. 21 <br /> 22 <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 23 <br /> 24 <br />Council Member Stigney asked whether a lower cost unit would work. 25 <br /> 26 <br />Mr. Gammel indicated that a lower cost unit would work but explained that they are cumbersome 27 <br />for Staff because of the need to change locations and Staff would prefer to have the fluid head to 28 <br />save time. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Council Member Stigney asked whether Staff did a Google search on the web for the cost of this 31 <br />item. 32 <br /> 33 <br />Mr. Gammel indicated that he prefers to use vendors that he is familiar with or that are local. He 34 <br />then said that even though he did a search for prices he found them to be comparable and he is 35 <br />skeptical of places he has not dealt with. 36 <br /> 37 <br />Council Member Stigney indicated that once Staff knows which model they wish to purchase it is 38 <br />simply a matter of determining the cheapest location to obtain it. He then suggested a catalog 39 <br />that has a lot of products in it and said he questions whether there is the need for this extravagant 40 <br />tripod expense for the City. 41 <br /> 42 <br />Mr. Gammel indicated he was aware of the catalog and said that he does not feel this model is 43 <br />extravagant but yet it has the features Staff desires. He then said he did do a search including the 44 <br />Internet and this dealer was the cheapest but he has not checked the catalog. 45
