Mounds View City Council July 28, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br />~1 <br />2 Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. <br />3 <br />4 Council Member Marty thanked Staff for the well-written report. <br />5 <br />6 2. Replacement of Voice Mail System <br />7 <br />8 Finance Director Hansen indicated that there was a lightening strike at City Hall and the <br />9 Community Center and the strike at City Hall damaged the voice mail system. He then indicated <br />10 that Staff has contacted the League of Minnesota Cities and been informed that they will treat it <br />11 as one claim thereby saving the City one deductible. <br />12 <br />13 Finance Director Hansen indicated that the cost to replace the voice mail system would be <br />14 approximately $8,020.00 plus sales tax and would include basic installation. He then cautioned <br />15 that the costs could climb to approximately $8,500 if further installation is needed. He further <br />16 indicated that the funds would come out of the contingency in the general fund and be <br />17 reimbursed through the insurance claim. <br />18 <br />19 Council Member Quick asked whether it would be more cost effective to replace the entire phone <br />20 system rather than just the voicemail component. <br />21 <br />~2 Finance Director Hansen indicated it would be substantially more expensive to do so. <br />23 <br />24 Council Member Quick asked how the voicemail is functioning now. <br />25 <br />26 Finance Director Hansen indicated that the City is using a loaner computer at a charge of $500.00 <br />27 per month. <br />28 <br />29 Council Member Stigney indicated that since this is an insurance claim he would prefer to <br />3o replace that part of the system. <br />31 <br />32 Council Member Quick indicated he made the suggestion to see if it would be more cost <br />33 effective if the system is outdated. <br />34 <br />35 Council agreed that the telephone system was new enough that it was not necessary to research <br />36 replacing the whole system. <br />37 <br />38 MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Gunn.
