Resolution 6907 Approval of a Supplemental Furniture Order for the City <br />Hall Remodel <br /> <br />Police Chief Sommer stated he submitted an initial order, but after Staff moved in, there were <br />some additional furniture needs. He stated some of the older furniture did not work functionally. <br />He stated the amount is $10,614 with additional $2,900 for additional Council seating. He stated <br />this should be sufficient for fitting of new furniture for all Staff. <br /> <br />Councilmember Stigney asked if $2,900 is for the Council seating and asked what happened to <br />the old seats. He stated he would like to discuss new seats at a work session before approving <br />new seats. <br /> <br />Mayor Marty noted that the old chairs were thrown out. He stated that the Council should have <br />had input about chairs before the new ones were ordered. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated the chairs proposed would be an upgrade. He stated Staff made <br />the decision to throw out the old chairs. He explained there has been dissatisfaction expressed <br />with the new chairs and the City cannot go back at this point. <br /> <br />Councilmember Stigney asked how much the various decisions that were made about various <br />furniture and design that were approved. He suggested the decision be postponed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Thomas stated that that another conversation needs to be had, but the items <br />being requested are needed by Staff. She stated she does not see reason in postponing something <br />that will not be changed and the City needs to move forward. <br /> <br />Mayor Marty asked about the Global Malaga task Chair for a total of $650.42, the Sit On It <br />Armed Guest Chair for a total of $527.84, three binder bins for $442.17, and on page 5, $289.00 <br />for a garbage can. He asked about other expenses such as the recycling can for $248. <br /> <br />Police Chief Sommer explained the task chairs are for two full-time Staff members who have <br />older chairs and who need new chairs. He stated the guest chairs are side chairs for offices that <br />are the same model as other guest chairs. He stated he is not familiar with the garbage or <br />recycling cans and they are the types of cans that will be in the hallway and public areas. Mayor <br />Marty stated that $289 for one garbage can is excessive. <br /> <br />Police Chief Sommer stated all of the products are commercial quality. <br /> <br />Councilmember Stigney asked if the $1,190 listed was the credit for the current Council chairs. <br />Police Chief Sommer confirmed that the amount was the credit.
