Council approves five-year lease-to-own with Blue Technologies for city copiers
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 91-2026 authorizing a five-year lease-to-own agreement with Blue Technologies to replace and consolidate the city's copier fleet and implement print-management software; staff said the vendor will provide new machines and projected seven-year savings (discussed as about $100,000).
Council adopted Ordinance 91-2026, an emergency ordinance authorizing the mayor to enter into a five-year lease-to-own agreement with Blue Technologies for copier equipment and a print-management solution. The ordinance was presented, the council suspended the rules and voted to adopt it by roll call.
Staff described the contract's features: Blue Technologies would replace older units with new multifunction machines and provide print-management software that enables secure release (users scan a badge at the device to print), department billing and reduced desktop printers. Staff said the vendor would buy out the remaining term on existing leases and start a new seven-year warranty on replaced machines. A fiscal estimate discussed across the committee described expected savings over seven years (committee members referenced roughly "$100,000" in projected savings over the term).
