computer equipment. The capital outlay shown is the actual computer system. We should <br />be able to utilize most of the equipment we have. <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson inquired if Kathy Johnson would be the first network person. <br /> <br />Ms. Hart replied she probably would be. The system should be up and running late 1995 <br />or early 1996. <br /> <br />Relating to general government buildings - the budget for cleaning supplies was increased. <br /> <br />With regard to vehicles - Ms. Hart stated that gasoline, lubes, tires, brakes, etc., was <br />increased slightly. <br /> <br />Relating to telephones - Ms. Hart explained that the pay phone has been removed and one <br />has been placed on the counter. Chief Auspos has suggested that when City Hall is locked <br />up, we should have a direct 911 access phone outside or maybe a regular pay phone <br />outside as 911 is a free call anyway. <br /> <br />Ms. Hart explained that the training for employees included miscellaneous training for the <br />Maintenance Worker such as a boiler license. Other equipment rental includes floor <br />stripper, towels, etc. <br /> <br />Ms. McAloney touched on the Newsletter. We budget for 11 issues; January and February <br />issues can be easily combined for the same number of pages. We did have to increase the <br />budgeted amount. She explained that Staff gets the newsletter camera-ready and then it is <br />sent out to be printed. <br /> <br />Chief Auspos stated that the City's Charter only requires six issues of the Newsletter and <br />inquired why it can't be left as that. The public can get information by calling City Hail. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued relating to cutting back on the number of issues of the Newsletter that <br />should be done. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated he would prefer keeping the Newsletter at eight pages in length and <br />reduce it to six issues. <br /> <br />Ms. Hart stated that for 1994, we budgeted for nine issues. <br /> <br />Ms. McAloney suggested Staff could cut down on additional articles and stick only to City <br />business. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer stated she gets a copy of the City of Fridley's newsletter and it <br />comes out every three months. <br /> <br />Ms. McAloney stated that a quarterly newsletter could be done at Ramsey also except for <br />the spring events. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer stated we could get some reimbursement from the County. She felt <br />that the newsletter could be done quarterly with a special mailing for spring events. <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson stated that the Newsletter is one of the only ways to reach the <br />residents. <br /> <br />Chief Auspos felt it could be done in six issues. <br /> <br />Finance/Budget Committee/August 8, 1994 <br /> Page 4 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
