Commission approves purchase of copier for Auditor/Treasurer office
Summary
Commissioners voted 4-0 to buy a desktop copier for the Auditor/Treasurer's office after being told purchasing would cost about $5,100 versus $1,000 or more to lease for five years.
The Traverse County Commission approved the Auditor/Treasurer's request to purchase a desktop copier for the office on Oct. 1.
Auditor/Treasurer Kit Johnson told the board that "it would cost around $5,100.00 to purchase one and it would cost $1,000.00 or more to lease one for 5 years," a figure the commission used to justify purchase rather than a new long-term lease. Commissioner Chad Metz moved for the purchase; Commissioner Kayla Schmidt seconded the motion, which passed 4-0.
The decision followed staff explanation that the motor-vehicle office no longer needs a fax machine lease because the office is scanning documents to the State; the approved purchase is for the high-use copier in the Auditor/Treasurer's office.
