City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia
14727 209t" St.North
Scandia, MN 55073 (651)433-2274
Action Requested: Authorize stafFto proceed with certain capital expenditures included
in the 2008 budget.
Deadline/Timeline: N/A
Background: • The 2008 budget includes some capital purchases that we would
like to proceed with as soon as possible. They are:
Budget
Fund/Department: Item: Amount:
GeneraU Administration Laptop and projector $2,000
GeneraU Planning&Building Computer and software $2,000
Capital Improvement Building Inspector vehicle $15,000
• The laptop and projector will allow staff and others making
presentations in the boazd room to use today's technology, and
give us another computer that can be used as a back-up. While not
originally included in the budget estimate,we hope to include the
purchase of pull-down screen for the board room wall.
• The desktop computer in the Planning&Building budget will
replace the last,old Windows 2000 machine on our network. The
current machine is not capable of running some software needed
by the Building Official.
• The vehicle will allow the Building Official to travel the city in a
marked vehicle and eliminate the need to pay mileage for use of
his private vehicle.
Recommendation: I request that the Council authorize staff to proceed with the office
equipment purchases within the budget limit. Before proceeding with
the vehicle purchase we would bring options back to the Council for
review and approval.
