Commissioners shift $9,633 to buy ballot printer as current machines near end of life
Summary
Elections staff told the court existing ballot printers are unsupported and end-of-life; commissioners approved moving $9,633 from voting supplies to administrative capital equipment to purchase a printer for in-house ballot printing.
Elections staff explained that the county's current ballot printers are at end of life, unsupported by the manufacturer, and that replacing them with a county-owned ballot printer will save money compared with purchasing ballots from an external vendor. "The ballot printer is what we use to print all of our ballots for ballot by mail...our printers that we have now are at the end of life," staff said.
Commissioners moved and seconded a line-item transfer of $9,633 from voting supplies to administrative capital equipment to provide funds for the purchase; the court approved the transfer on a voice vote. The change was described as an administrative reallocation rather than a budget increase.
