Mayor Madsen called the special meeting to order at 5:15 p.m. <br /> <br />2. Purchase of the Police Squad Car <br /> <br />Councilman Otto expressed concern over the problem of getting maintenance service <br />when needed on the police car if it was purchased from Bloomington Chrysler Ply- <br />mouth rather than a local dealer. The City Administrator indicated that warranty <br />work was typically done by the nearest dealer and that all dealers were paid by <br />the manufacturer so, therefore, should not be a problem. The City Administrator <br />further indicated that according to specifications Bloomington Chrysler Plymouth <br />was ultimately responsible for the warranty work and was required to provide <br />pickup and delivery service. Mayor Madsen indicated he did not have a problem <br />with the servicing of the car and felt it was unfortunate that none of the local <br />dealers were low bidders. Councilman Otto asked if there was a difference <br />between the Ma1ibu and Vo1are. The City Administrator indicated the Ma1ibu and <br />Vo1are were both considered mid-sized cars. Mayor Madsen .indicated that he felt <br />the City should get the 318 cubic inch V8 engine rather than the 360 cubic inch. <br />COUNCILMAN DUITSMAN MOVED TO PURCHASE THE VOLARE WITH THE 318 CUBIC INCH ENGINE <br />FROM BLOOMINGTON CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH FOR $6,326.00 UNLESS THE PURCHASE PRICE FROM <br />THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER WOULD BE THE SAME AS THE PRICE THROUGH HENNEPIN COUNTY <br />PURCHASING FROM BLOOMINGTON CHRYSLER. COUNCILMAN ENGSTROM SECONDED THE MOTION. <br />MOTION PASSED 3-0. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN OTTO MOVED THE MEETING BE ADJOURNED. COUNCILMAN ENGSTROM SECONDED THE <br />MOTION.
