Commissioners approve $3,400 used copier for emergency management
Summary
Codington County approved purchase of a refurbished printer/copier for Emergency Management at $3,400; staff said a new equivalent would cost about $10,000 and the machine has about 50,000 copies on it.
The Codington County Commissioners approved purchase of a refurbished printer/copier for the Emergency Management office at an advertised price of $3,400.
Andrew Delgado, speaking for Emergency Management, said his office had sought a used model to replace two aging machines — one at the Search and Rescue Building and another in the office — and that the refurbished unit would consolidate those functions. “The printer that’s available has a purchase price of $3,400,” Delgado said, adding the supplier estimated a comparable new configuration would cost about $10,000 and that the unit has about 50,000 copies on it.
Commissioners questioned warranty and service options; Delgado said a service agreement was available. Commissioner McElhaney moved to approve the purchase and Commissioner Gable seconded. The board voted by voice; the motion carried. No roll-call tally was recorded in the minutes.
Minutes record that the purchase is within the department’s budget and that staff will arrange a service agreement as needed.
