Mounds View City Council June 5, 2000 <br />Special Meeting Page 7 <br />Council Member Stigney stated at the previous meeting, the City Attorney advised that the <br />• Mayor's abstention would count with the affirmative vote in this situation, therefore, Mayor <br />Coughlin would essentially be voting in the affirmative. <br />Mayor Coughlin stated of the options for voting, this was really the only option available to him. <br />Council Member Stigney stated Mayor Coughlin could vote yes or no. <br />Mayor Coughlin stated this was correct, however, he would rather register his statement as <br />abstention, and he would request the Council's consent in this regard. <br />Council Member Stigney dissented. <br />Mayor Coughlin advised that according to Robert's Rules of Order, there must be unanimous <br />consent of the body to allow for an abstention for reasons other than a conflict of interest, in <br />which case, he would be required to abstain. <br />ROLL CALL: Stigney, Marty, Coughlin, Quick. <br />Ayes - 3 Nays - 1 (Stigney) Motion carved. <br />Mayor Coughlin stated Ordinance No. 662 was adopted on a 3 to 1 vote. <br />C. Review and Discussion of City Hall Custodial Services. <br />1. Consideration of Resolution 544$. <br />2. Consideration of Resolution 5449. <br />Interim Administrator Ulrich stated at a past Council Meeting, staff was given direction to seek <br />an alternative method of providing for the custodial services for the City Hall building.

Staff has spoken with all three contractors to inquire if they would honor <br />their bids, as one of the contractors had indicated they would honor that bid until June 1, 2000. <br />The low bidder, Coverall's, has agreed to honor their bid, Town and Country and Tower <br />Cleaning raised their bid, and Jani-King was a new bidder in the process. <br />Interim Administrator Ulrich stated staff was directed to provide for a different means of <br />cleaning the building, and staff believes this proposal serves the express needs of the building. <br />He indicated the low bidder was Coverall's, which bid the City Hall contract at $1,120.00 per <br />month, and the Community Center, twice a week, at $420 per month.
