Mounds View City Council February 10, 2003 Regular Meeting Page 23 • Council Member Marry indicated he would like to investigate the costs associated with having a reader card that would show who was at City Hall and when. Interim City Administrator Ericson indicated that Public Works Director Lee would be looking into that as part of the rehabilitation study for City Hall. Mayor Linke indicated the systems are expensive and maintenance is an issue. Council Member Quick said he thought it would make more sense than having keys. Mayor Linke said he thought it would be well worth re-keying. Council Member Marty indicated he was fine with re-keying.

Finance Director Hansen indicated that ECS had finished 90% of the project at the Community Center without approval. He also indicated that Staff had made numerous efforts to contact other firms for bids and did not receive calls back.

He then said he does not understand how ECS could proceed with the work without a signed contract. Council Member Marty asked if it was ever determined whether the system was compatible as brought up by Council Member Stigney. Finance Director Hansen indicated that Mr. Bradley had indicated to ECS that he wished to hold three different meetings and have sound in each different room.
