Mounds View City Council March 11, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 17 <br /> <br />Deputy Chief Brennan indicated that the two security vendors had contacted him. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked whether the City should be looking at all the same equipment <br />when comparing vendors. <br /> <br />Deputy Chief Brennan indicated the camera with the best specs is a Sony and Roseville quoted <br />that one. He then said he was not sure how to compare the models because it was beyond his <br />expertise. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney said it looked like there was a camera that had variable focal length. <br /> <br />Deputy Chief Brennan indicated one bid quoted different lenses and said he is not sure what type <br />of lens Roseville quoted. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney noted the Roseville quote does not say anything about the lens. <br /> <br />Deputy Chief Brennan indicated he was not sure what type of lens Roseville was quoting but said <br />he had seen it in action on the intranet. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney indicated that Sony might have had this model and it was good last year <br />but there would be a new model for this year and he thinks somebody should look at that. <br /> <br />Deputy Chief Brennan indicated Mr. Hess would be working with the folks from Roseville to <br />make sure the equipment is as compatible as possible. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney suggested getting the model numbers and shopping prices to get an idea <br />of the actual cost of the system. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre asked if it would be easier for Roseville to identify who they were buying <br />through. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty said he would like Mr. Hess to work with Roseville to compare models <br />and make sure the City is getting the most bang for the buck and the best equipment it can. He <br />then commented that the Roseville proposal was a little vague in comparison to the other <br />proposals. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre said he wanted Roseville to define the equipment. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney said he would like to see what is available on the market now. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre asked Staff to provide more information on the equipment and asked City <br />Administrator Miller to identify the funding source. <br />
