Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Councilmember Williams, to expand the scope
<br />of work for Project 14-30, construction of a replacement Fire Station 92, to include purchase and
<br />installation of a backup generator at a cost not to exceed $65,000.
<br />Further discussion: Councilmember LeTourneau appreciated the efforts of staff when dealing
<br />with the County and encouraged staff to continue in those negotiations. He also acknowledged
<br />the lesson learned in obtaining agreements in writing. Mayor Strommen agreed with the lesson
<br />learned but pled to the County to work with the City as the easement the County needed was put
<br />into place but the generator the City needed was not obtained. She stated that this is nothing
<br />against the County as there is staff turnover that occurs and things can fall through the cracks
<br />when agreements are not recorded in writing.
<br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Strommen, Councilmembers Kuzma, Williams, Johns,
<br />LeTourneau, Riley, and Shryock. Voting No: None.

<br />Stacie Kvilvang, Ehlers & Associates, presented the bid results, indicating that the City received
<br />an AA plus rating, which was assigned due to the strong management, strong budgetary
<br />performance, strong budgetary flexibility, and strong liquidity of the City. She stated that the
<br />sale occurred this morning at 10:00 a.m. and three bids were received. She recommended the
<br />lowest bidder which has a true interest value of 2.8 percent noting that the total cost did decrease
<br />from $3,970,000 to $3,880,000.
<br />Mayor Strommen commended staff for their efforts in helping the City reach an AA plus bond
<br />rating.
