Council approves 60-month copier lease with Sharp; staff say equipment can be reclaimed if needed
Summary
Council approved a lease agreement with Sharp for municipal copiers, opting for a 60-month term that the transcript says reduces monthly cost compared with shorter options; staff noted the city can opt out by returning leased equipment.
The Lithonia City Council on Oct. 7 approved a copier lease agreement with Sharp, choosing the 60-month term after staff explained there are 36-, 48- and 60-month options.
Chief DJ and other staff discussed the lease lengths and cost implications. According to the transcript, "the 60-month option leaves us at 26202 a month which is about $2200 less than what we pay right now," and council members asked whether the city could terminate the lease early. Staff said the equipment is leased and can be picked up by the vendor, allowing the city to opt out if necessary.
A council member moved to approve the Sharp contract under the 60-month lease; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. No roll-call vote or specific dollar totals beyond the quoted monthly figure appear in the provided transcript.
Next steps: staff will finalize the contract paperwork and manage the lease start date and equipment delivery under the agreed 60-month term.
