Committee renews school voting machine contracts, fees set at $1,600 and $1,000
Summary
The committee approved renewal of contracts with 26 schools for use of county voting machines, with fees set at $1,600 for a first machine and $1,000 for each additional machine; members discussed whether revenues go to a reserve for replacement.
The committee approved renewing school contracts for use of county voting machines and affirmed a fee structure of $1,600 for the first machine and $1,000 for each additional machine.
A presenter said the previous machines had been bought with a grant so charging hadn’t been possible, but the current machines were purchased from the county budget and the fees are intended to offset costs (including wear and tear). Members discussed whether revenues were being placed into a reserve for future replacement; staff said the current practice is to charge for cost recovery, but committee members agreed to monitor reserves and replacement planning. The motion to approve 26 school contracts passed by voice vote.
