-5- In her May 20th memorandum, Carol Johnson had suggested the City • could save money by having -only one polling place for the upcoming City elections in November. Councilman Ranallo said he would always be in favor of any action which cut costs and appreciated the Finance Director' s constant efforts in this direction, but was concerned that, since all four polls are required to be used for the 1984 Primary and General Elections , it would be almost impossible to educate the .citizenry about where they are to vote each time. The Mayor indicated he agreed with this conclusion, having observed his neighbors ' confusion about the recent school elections. The general consensus of the Council was not to change the polling practices for the City since to -do so might cause great confusion for the residents , some of whom might not vote at all, just because they weren't sure: where their polling place was. As he had reported in his May 20th memorandum, Mr. Childs -said he had taken the bids for the issuance of the Certificates of Indebted- ness necessary to keep the City ' s capital equipment up to date from two banks , First Security of St. Paul and the St. Anthony National Bank, and had selected the latter because they had offered the lowest interest rate, 6�% (or $730) as compared to the 8% , (or $900) from First Security. Motion by Councilman Ranallo and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to adopt the resolution which authorizes Certificates of Indebtedness be issued to the St. Anthony. National Bank at 6�% as recommended by the City Manager. RESOLUTION 83-028 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ISSUANCE OF CAPITAL EQUIPMENT CERTIFICATES OF INDEBTEDNESS Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Councilman Letourneau and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to adjourn the meeting at 9 :02 P .M. Motion carried unanimously.
