• Mounds View City Council Page 14 <br /> Regular Meeting November 29, 1994 <br /> computers that the individual Highway Patrol personnel have <br /> been bringing for the Officers to use. Linke suggested that <br /> three computers are needed, one for the secretary, one in the <br /> Patrol station and one for the Sergeant's station. The <br /> secretary would be able to use the existing printer and an <br /> additional printer would be located in the Patrol area. <br /> Tim Cruikshank, Assistant to City Administrator, reported the <br /> computer and printer bid specifications that were furnished to <br /> vendors. He stated that responses had been received from four <br /> vendors for the computers: Ameridata, Zeos International, <br /> Global Computronics and P.C. Tailors. The low bid was <br /> received from P.C. Tailors in the amount of $1,521. 89 for each <br /> computer. Responses had been received from three vendors for <br /> the printer: Ameridata, Global Computronics and Dodd <br /> Technical. The low bid was received from Global Computronics <br /> in the amount of $1, 658.21. <br /> Cruikshank explained the purpose of Resolution No. 4667 was to <br /> transfer funds from the Franchise Fee Contingency Account to <br /> Police Department Capital Account for the purchase of three <br /> computers, one printer, and a computer desk, which was <br /> budgeted at $650, for the police secretary. <br /> Councilmember Trude asked if the computer bid specifications <br /> of 33Mhz would be adequate for the CD-ROM drive. <br /> Cruikshank replied that 33Mhz would work for the CD-ROM drive, <br /> but an upgrade would make it faster, thus more efficient. <br /> Trude related her personal experience with the low bidder for <br /> the computers and felt their service was poor. She was <br /> concerned about the quality of that company. <br /> Samantha_Orduno, City_Administr-at-ar, commented that she also <br /> had previous experiences with P.C. Tailors and agreed that the <br /> service provided by them was poor. Orduno mentioned that the <br /> street directories and State Statutes were going to be on CD- <br /> ROM and the speed of the computers would be important. <br /> MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Blanchard to Adopt Resolution No. 4667 <br /> Approving the Transfer of Funds from Franchise Fee Account for <br /> Purchase of Computer Equipment for Police Department in the <br /> Amount of $9, 000 <br /> Trude noted that the amount to be transferred in Resolution <br /> No. 4667 should be changed from $7, 000 to $9, 000. She <br /> explained that Staff would be directed to make a wise <br /> 111 purchase. <br />
