City Council Meeting Minutes January 7, 2014 Page 2 of 22 MOTION: Mayor Muckle moved to approve the agenda, as amended, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Dalton. All were in favor. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA Michael Menaker, 1827 W. Choke Cherry Drive, Louisville, CO thanked IT Manager Chris Neves for the dramatic increase in internet speed on the City's Web Page. Alan Sobel, 1408 Kennedy, Louisville, CO also addressed the internet and raised two objections; 1) Consent Agenda Item 5D —Approval of Designation of Places for Posting Notices for Public Meeting and 2) A previous Consent Agenda Item, which approved a company for the City's Web Site. He researched minutes for January 7, 1714 for public notices and discovered notices were posted in public buildings. He noted the similarity of today's modern posting and stated with the internet and social media, posting notices in buildings seems archaic. He suggested looking at different ways of communication. Mark Hughes, 953 Eldorado Lane, Louisville, Co commented on the City's recent implementation of Colorado Amendment 64 and noted he voted for the measure, but not on the question of whether retail sales should occur in Louisville. His position on retail sales in Louisville was to wait and see and then act. He was encouraged by the moratorium on new retail sales in Louisville, but did not realize the existing medical marijuana stores would be allowed to convert to retail. He requested a ballot question to allow people to vote on retail sales in Louisville. He expressed concern over the centralized retail marijuana locations to the south section of town. He opposed dual licenses and felt there should be a choice to stay medical or convert to retail. APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA Council member Keany addressed the approval of Dell Computers and requested to see the competitive bids. City Manager Fleming stated the City has used Dell as a sole source in the past because they have provided the lowest cost options and reasonable service. IT Manager Neves explained the City has always used Dell computers and negotiates for laptops, workstations and servers every four years. The City was looking for a single solution and Dell was the only vendor who had the solution. After reviewing many other quotes, a sole source purchase was requested.
