Summary

After the previous copier company asked for $5,900 for shipping and data-wiping following lease termination, the board voted to explore taking ownership and disposing of the machines. The motion to explore ownership carried by voice vote with a few nays.

Chairman Chase McCall told the board the county had paid the final claim on a previous copier lease, but the former vendor later demanded $5,900 to ship the machines and perform data‑wiping.

After discussion, Tim Nuss moved and Kelsie Vaughn seconded a motion to explore owning the old copiers and disposing of them through the board rather than paying the vendor’s fee; the motion carried by voice vote, with a few nays noted in the minutes. The board did not record a formal vote tally beyond the note that several nays were heard.

The minutes do not record any follow-up procurement timeline, an estimate of disposal costs, or the vendor’s identity; the board directed staff to explore ownership and disposal options.
