Health department to replace senior center copiers under existing county contract; millage pays monthly lease
Summary
The health department requested and the committee approved leasing two new Visual Edge copiers for senior centers for 60 months at $144.90 per month to be paid from the senior millage; presenters said unit copy costs will be lower than current toner arrangements and would not affect the general fund.
Jim Henry, the health director (newly introduced earlier in the meeting), asked the board to authorize two additional copier leases for county senior centers under the county Visual Edge contract.
Henry said the senior centers currently pay for toner and maintenance under older machines and that the Visual Edge contract will reduce per‑copy costs: county staff estimated black‑and‑white copies would be less than one cent and color copies around one half cent. The purchase was proposed as a 60‑month lease at a combined monthly cost of $144.90 to be funded from senior millage funds, with no additional cost to the county general fund.
A motion to authorize the two copiers and lease passed the committee. Commissioners discussed toner and maintenance savings and noted centers produce monthly color newsletters.
The motion was recorded as supported by Commissioner Wise; the committee approved the lease.
