MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, June 13, 2011 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> Page 8 of 9 <br /> <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br /> <br />8. AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE 2011 SQUAD CAR <br /> <br />Rahn asked why they are decommissioning a car with only 70,880 miles on it. Rahn asked if the Dodge <br />Chargers are working out as well for the police department as the Crown Victoria. <br /> <br />Chief Correy Farniok stated this particular vehicle has had some problems with the computer modules <br />from the beginning that have not been straightened out. The police department was looking to replace it <br />in three months but that there is approximately $2300 worth of work that is required in order to replace <br />the heater core and radiator. Farniok stated he would like to avoid having to pay for those repairs and sell <br />the car soon since they could still get a good resale price. Farniok noted the police department averages <br />approximately three to four thousand miles on a car in a month. Since they have had regular problems <br />with this car, it has lower miles. <br /> <br />Farniok noted they have had good luck with the other Dodge Chargers. Farniok indicated he would not <br />have a problem repairing it if the Council would prefer. Farniok noted the car also has hail damage. If <br />the City waits any longer than 30 days to order a Dodge Charger, they probably will not be able to obtain <br />a new vehicle until the 2012 production year starts. <br /> <br />Rahn moved, Printup seconded, to approve the purchase of a 2011 Dodge Charger police sedan <br />from Nelson Auto Center in Fergus Falls for $23,492.00 plus tax, registration and other <br />miscellaneous fees. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br />*9. AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE VEHICLE <br /> <br />Rahn moved, Bremer seconded, to approve the trade of a 2006 Jeep Liberty Sport toward the <br />purchase of a new type SUV not to exceed $12,000.00 plus tax, registration, and other miscellaneous <br />fees. VOTE: Ayes 5 Nays 0. <br /> <br />*10. AGREEMENT FOR USE OF ELECTION EQUIPMENT BY ORONO SCHOOL <br />DISTRICT <br /> <br />Rahn moved, Bremer seconded, to approve the Hennepin County, Independent School District #278 <br />and the City of Orono Consent of Assignment of Contract No. A052266 that allows the Orono <br />School District to use the City of Orono's election equipment. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br />*11. RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE SHERIFF'S NEW 911 COMMUNICATIONS <br />FACILITY, RESOLUTION NO. 6052 <br /> <br />Rahn moved, Bremer seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6052, a Resolution Supporting <br />Hennepin County Sheriff's New Regional 911 Emergency Communications Facility. VOTE: Ayes <br />5, Nays 0. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />Item #03 - CC Agenda - 06/27/2011 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 06/13/2011 <br />[Page 8 of 9]
