The request of the Associate Engineer to purchase a new CAD station at a cost of$2,498.00 was
reviewed. The new CAD station will replace an existing Pentium 200 CAD system. The existing
CAD station is very slow and has some problems running the software used by the Engineering
Department to design streets and the software used to manipulate aerial photos. The Computer
Technical Review Committee reviewed and approved said purchase on July 7, 1999. Local
Option Tax funds will be used to purchase the CAD station. Moved by Jordan, seconded by

The request of the Manager of Information Services to expand City Hall phone system at a cost of
$13,836.00 in conjunction with remodeling of Carnegie Annex was reviewed. With the
remodeling work at the Carnegie Annex, it has been estimated that as many as 15 additional
phones will be required. The old library is wired to the phone system in City Hall, and that system
will have to be expanded to make room. An expansion cabinet, digital station cards, a trunk line
card and phone sets are required. McLeod USA has provided a quote of $13,836.00 for parts
and labor. There is currently enough wiring between the buildings to support 15 more phones.
There is sufficient funding in the remodeling budget to accomplish the expansion. Moved by
Jordan, seconded by Krizek that said request be approved. Ayes: Two. Absent: Murphy.
Motion carried.
The request of the City Planner to waive bench billboard fees for the Bench Company in exchange
for advertising Census 2000 was reviewed. The city currently charges The Bench Company a
$3,000.00 permit fees for various bench billboards the company has throughout the city. If the
city waives the fee for 1999, The Bench Company will locate six billboards throughout the city.
The six billboards will advertise the upcoming Census 2000. The normal cost for six billboards
for a year exceeds the $3,000.00 permit fee. The company has agreed to rotate the six benches
quarterly and locate them in a variety of areas. The sites to be used and the rotation schedule will
be dictated by the Census 2000 Complete Count Committee Chair, State Representative Don
Shoultz. Moved by Jordan, seconded by Krizek that said request be approved. Ayes: Two.
Absent: Murphy. Motion carried.
