Summary
Central services presented September production counts, postage and supply expenses, and reported modest savings on toner and mailing costs at the Oct. 3 meeting of LaSalle County's IT and Central Services committee.
Tracy, a central services staff member, reported production and financial figures for September at the Oct. 3 LaSalle County IT and Central Services meeting.
Tracy reported microfilm documents: 45,274; processed feet: 1,390; scanned images: 60,688. She said work from 18 copy machines totaled 52,810 impressions and three digital printers produced 49,650 impressions. Monthly bills for central services totaled $27,080.67. Tracy reported reimbursements to the general fund of $4,416.54.
Tracy listed postage and savings line items: central services postage $5,930.33; downtown circuit clerk postage $662.96; county clerk postage $91.76; Regional Office of Education postage $252.10. She reported savings on e-certified mail of $210.14 and shipping-label savings of $18.06. Tracy said compatible toner purchases resulted in a per-item savings line of $44.47; total toner purchases were $7,883.37. She summed the reported savings as $510.71.
Committee members had no substantive questions and voted to accept Tracy’s report and to pay central services bills.
Earlier in the meeting members also discussed a multi-year assessment of office printers; John, an IT staff member, said some offices have “6 to 7 printers” and offered to have a vendor redo a printer assessment. Tracy and committee members noted county policy does not allow IT to remove equipment that an elected or appointed official has budgeted for without that official's agreement.
