To Approve Resolution 7374, Authorizing the Purchase <br />of a Podium for the Council Chambers. <br />Council Member Stigney said that he does not support this as he has reviewed the website and <br />there is another option that is only approximately $200 plus shipping. <br />Council Member Flaherty indicated that he likes the off the shelf as there is a feature that the <br />custom version does not provide and, it is more affordable. <br />Council Member Mueller indicated that the custom made podium is of a quality that she would <br />expect the City to purchase and provide to citizens not the pre-made off the shelf podium. The <br />current podium is a poor quality "off the shelf' cheap purchase made less than 3 years ago, and <br />clearly needs replacements. <br />Staff indicated that the reason to recommend the custom podium is because the same company <br />did the millwork in City Hall during renovations and staff felt the podium should match. <br />Mayor Marry explained his support of the quality real wood custom podium. <br />Community Development Director Roberts said that the custom made podium allows for the <br />ability to use the document camera <br />Council Member Elect Gunn agreed with the concern for quality and agreed that you get what <br />you pay for. <br />Ayes - 3 Nays - 2(Flaherty/Stigney) Motion carried. <br /> <br />F.
