Funding <br /> possibilities were discussed in detail keeping the church's mission and the City's needs in mind. <br /> City Administrator Ericson reviewed the items identified for funding and recommended the <br /> Council accept the donation from Bethlehem Baptist Church. <br /> Mayor Flaherty requested further information on the portable dance floor. City Administrator <br /> Ericson stated it would provide an alternative location for dance/fitness space in the Community <br /> Center, creating flexibility and potentially additional revenue for rental of the Community Center <br /> room. <br /> Mayor Flaherty asked for further information on the mobile dental clinic. He felt this was a <br /> wonderful program. City Administrator Ericson discussed the mobile dental clinic in detail. <br /> MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 7847, Accepting <br /> Donation from Bethlehem Baptist Church. <br /> Ayes—5 Nays—0 Motion carried. <br /> K. Resolution 7853,Authorizing the Purchase of 820 Neptune R900 Meter Read <br /> Devices. <br /> Finance Director Beer indicated this item was discussed at the Council's last work session. Staff 1111 <br /> was requesting the Council authorize the purchase of 820 Neptune meter readers. The battery <br /> life for these readers was three times longer than the present meter readers and would save the <br /> City $40,000 over 20 years. This purchase would allow the City to exclusively use Neptune <br /> readers and reduce some software confusion going into the future. <br /> Council Member Stigney questioned if the R900 was the newest model. Finance Director Beer <br /> was uncertain of this, but found that the Neptune readers were far superior to the Sensus models. <br /> Public Works Director DeBar confirmed the R900 was the latest and greatest model available <br /> from Neptune. <br /> Council Member Mueller asked if the meters would be changed out quickly or in phases. Public <br /> Works Director DeBar anticipated the work would be completed in phases over the next six to <br /> nine months. <br /> Mayor Flaherty encouraged Staff to resell the Sensus meters to another community.
