Mayor's Conference Room
Bruce Meisinger, Budget Analyst, gave a brief report concerning the
City's plan for future computer needs. A needs assessment has been
completed in cooperation with the Black Hawk County Data Processing
Department as well as a time frame for departmental needs. He
reported that the request of the Water Pollution Control Plant for
purchase of a personal computer and related software was consistent
with the City's overall plan. It was moved by Getty, seconded by
Klinger that the Water Pollution Control Plant's request for said
purchase be approved. Motion carried.
The following bids were reviewed for batons for the Police
Department:
Bidder Batons Rings
W & S, Ltd. 16.25 each 3.00 each
Constable Equipment 16.30 each 4.25 each
Law Enforcement Equipment 17.25 each 4.65 each
Wertjes Uniform 19.46 plus 1 .37 5.08 each
The low bidder, W & S, Ltd., is owned by a City employee. The
Assistant City Attorney reported that due to changes in the State
Code (H.F. 2389) City employees may only bid on projects that are in
writing, publicly invited and publicly opened. Since said bids were
not publicly invited, the bid of W & S, Ltd. was not a legitimate
bid. The Assistant City Attorney explained that in the future all
informal bids (those not published in the newspaper) must be posted
in City Hall to serve as notice to City employees that a project is
being bid.
It was moved by Klinger, seconded by Dowie that the above bids be
rejected and that authorization be given for resolicitation of bids
on batons. Ayes: Klinger and Dowie. Nays: Getty. Motion carried.
Bids were reviewed for police uniform supplies from Palace Clothiers
and York Uniforms. In its recommendation, the Police Department
reported that the low bid did not meet the shirt specifications;
therefore, they recommended that the bid of Palace Clothiers be
approved. It was moved by Getty, seconded by Klinger that said
recommendation be approved. Motion carried.
It was moved by Klinger, seconded by Getty that the following garbage
refunds be approved:
Address Amount of Refund
179 W. 18th Street 23.63
2014 Black Hawk Street 23.63
3622 Hammond Avenue 40.50
1126-28 Loretta 18.00
Motion carried.
It was moved by Getty, seconded by Dowie that the following
requisitions be approved:
