Summary

Delaware County auditor's office told the council it is reviewing department subaccounts on the county mail machine, may avoid unnecessary postage lines for departments that do not mail, and expects a vendor quote this week for an upgrade or analytics add-on.

Tonya Dunsmore, Delaware County auditor chief deputy, updated the council on postage and freight accounting and the county mail machine (Pitney Bowes).

Dunsmore explained the machine currently supports 100 accounts and that staff are reviewing whether departmental subaccounts are needed or should be inactivated. She said the county could upgrade to 500 accounts if necessary but recommended checking which subaccounts are still active before adding new lines to avoid unused balances. A vendor webinar and a formal quote were expected by Friday.

She also described operational distinctions: certified mail handled in the clerk's office must remain separate because of oath and chain-of-custody requirements, while bulk and parcel mail could be shifted to the mail room if the correct equipment (a scale and ShipPro integration) is provided. The auditor's office will report back with recommendations after reconciling active accounts and talking with the vendor.
