50 Regular Meeting November 25, 1991 Page 4 also being analyzed for use by the low-income housing program. However, because of some public/private partnership efforts regarding that particular program, it appeared there may be some additional funds available for extending that program into Phase II. The City would move forward in trying to dispose of other parcels that clearly would not fit that particular program. Mr. Hart asked Mr. Gilley if he thought this could all happen in this fiscal year and Mr. Gilley stated that not all sales would happen in this fiscal year. Mr. Moore questioned Mr. Gilley if as the City divested these unused properties, would there be enough funding involved so the City could keep the grant program going and keep it a permanent fixture. Mr. Gilley stated it would be possible if the City continued the partnership with Balcones Bank. They would make loans for those who qualified under this program. Mayor Morris asked Mr. Gilley to identify the lots needed in Phase II Program and auction the remainder to get these back on the tax roll. Mr. Gilley stated this would be difficult because there would be a great deal of research into what the City does own in terms of surplus lots. Ms. Kissler moved to authorize the bid for sale of Lots 5, 6, 7 and 8, Block 26, Victory Gardens Addition, located in the 500 Block of Knox Street. Mr. Moore seconded the motion which passed unanimously. Mayor Morris introduced for consideration award of bid for furnishings for the new Police Headquarters and Training Facili ty. Mr. Gilley stated there were some corrected total numbers because the bid allowed the City to split the bid among the vendors in order to obtain the best possible price on individual items. Mr. Gilley recommended to award this bid to a number of vendors. Mr. Moore moved to award the bid of furnishings of the new Police Headquarters and Training Facility as follows: VENDORS TOTALS OFFICE FURNITURE DISTRIBUTORS $34,587.03 THE INNER OFFICE $54,631.57 BARKER OFFICE FURNITURE $ 6,199.94 ROCKFORD BUSINESS INTERIORS $ 1,927.99 ROBERT WEISZ OFFICE FURNITURE CO. $ 7,312.80 WILSON BUSINESS PRODUCT SYSTEMS $13,136.37 KLIPPLES BUSINESS PRODUCTS $ 6,110.00 SMITH BUSINESS INTERIORS $ 5,874.66 TOTAL $129,780.36 Ms. Kissler seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mr. Hart introduced for consideration award of bid for remodeling the remainder of the building for the new Police Headquarters and Training Facility (Phase II Construction). (Mayor Morris abstained due to her spouse's business interest with one of the bidders and left the room). Captain Dan Nelson addressed the Council that this was the second and final phase of this project and they expect completion at the end of March or the first of April. Ms. Kissler moved to award the bid for Phase II Construction of the New Police Headquarters and Training Facility to Stokes Construction Company with the base bid amount being $489,201.00, and the additional alternate #' s 2, 3, 4 and 5 with a total bid in the amount of $516,399.00 and Mr. Moore seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mr. Hart introduced a discussion and direction to staff regarding a video recording system for the Council Chambers. Mr. Gilley stated the City had been reviewing this process in what would be required technically to be able to do this. It would be a taped re-broadcast rather than a live broadcast because it required far more equipment than feasible to purchase at this particular time. The system offers a high quality re-broadcast system. It would be a four camera mounted system, remotely controlled, in terms of pan and tilt and also close up and distant shots. Council received two proposals, and the staff recommends the proposal broken out into three areas; 1) Audio System- $7,702.31, 2) Lighting - $1,020.01 and 3) Video System $77,265.01.
