(0 1 MEMO TO: Mayor and City Counci FROM: Clerk-Administrato DATE: September 16, 1982 SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF USED CLASSROOM BUILDINGS Pursuant to Council direction, staff has investigated the referenced subject matter and determined the following: 1. City Attorney Meyers, after reviewing the State statutes applicable to the issue, i.e.: a) M.S. 471.345 Uniform Municipal Contracting Law, b) M.S. 471.36 Non-competitive Supplies and Equipment, and c) M.S. 471.191, Subdivision 1, Acquisition of Facilities, has determined that the City is not required to obtain sealed bids or informal proposals from other suppliers for the purchase of these buildings. 2. Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Director Anderson has been advised by the supplier of these buildings that the price of the buildings, including the improvements required by the City of Mounds View, will be $5,500.00. This amount, added to the $2,500.00 estimate for the preparation of each site for the placement of these buildings, would result in an $8,000.00 per building price tag. With the purchase of three buildings the City would need $24,000.00 for the purchase of the buildings and preparation of the appropriate sites. 3. Finance Director Brager has reviewed the City's various funds to determine sources of monies for the purchase of these buildings and preparation of the building sites. Basically, there are three funds from which monies might be obtained for the purchase of these buildings. These funds and the total dollars available are as follows: A. Park Improvement Fund - This fund has a balance of $1,150.00 which although being extremely minimal would be able to supplement any other funds used in the purchase of these buildings. B. Revenue Sharing - The 1982 Revenue Sharing budget provides for the purchase of a standby sewer generator in the amount of $17,600.00. If it is determined by the City Council that this piaca of eyuipmenc is not necessary at this time and can be purchased at a later date, this money might be freed up for the purchase of these buildings. Should the Council determine that they wish to use this money for that purpose it will be necessary that you schedule a public hearing for the purpose of amending the 1982 Revenue Sharing ^� budget by reallocating these funds from the purchase of a standby generator to the purchase of used classroom buildings.
