Elk River City Council Minutes July 28, 1997 Page 4 4.8. COUNCILMEMBER HOLMGREN MOVED TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PRELIMINARY PLAT REQUEST TO THE AUGUST 18, 1997, CITY COUNCIL MEETING. COUNCILMEMBER FARBER SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. Consider Security Packaqe for the Elk River Ice Arena City Administrator Pat Klaers indicated that the city received two quotes for a security system for the Ice Arena. He indicated that the bids were as follows: Elk River Utilities - $2,794.68 and General Security Services Corporation (GSSC) - $12,334.00. It was noted that the two bids are not comparable as the GSSC system is much more elaborate. The City received the GSSC proposal first, then asked the Utilities for a proposal that would cover only the bare necessities because we could not afford very much at this time. Pat Klaers indicated that staff is recommending that the Council accept the bid from Elk River Utilities.
