Franklin County approves 36‑month Pitney Bowes postage‑meter lease
Summary
The Franklin County Commission unanimously approved a 36‑month postage‑meter lease with Pitney Bowes under the NASPO ValuePoint agreement, entering contract and equipment details into the record and authorizing county signatures.
The Franklin County Commission unanimously approved a 36‑month postage‑meter lease with Pitney Bowes at its Dec. 18 regular meeting in Russellville.
Commissioner Chris Wallace moved to approve the lease agreement under the NASPO ValuePoint contract; Jason Miller seconded the motion and the board voted unanimously in favor. The paperwork presented to the commission listed a SendPro C Auto system and related equipment, contract and payment terms and referenced state contract terms incorporated by reference.
County Administrator Leah Mansell provided contact details for billing and shipping in the packet. The meeting record also included IRS and tax‑reporting documentation (Form 8038‑GC) associated with reporting small tax‑exempt governmental leases. The commission entered the vendor documents into the record and authorized the county chairman to sign the agreement.
The commission took no separate vote on financing terms beyond approving the lease package and signatures. The board did not specify the exact monthly outlay in the motion beyond accepting the contract and appended vendor terms. The county may still finalize any required vendor approvals once credit and documentation approval processes are complete.
