Board reviews Konica Minolta lease; minutes show differing monthly figures in presentation and motion
Summary
Business director Steven Smidl presented a recommended copier upgrade and PaperCut plan intended to reduce costs; the minutes record a presentation figure of $8,358.07 monthly but the approved motion records a $8,402.38 monthly lease. The board approved the lease on a unanimous roll call.
The district's business representative, Steven Smidl, presented a proposal to renew and upgrade the district's copier lease with Konica Minolta. In the presentation Mr. Smidl outlined existing costs for 12 copiers and an interFAX subscription and recommended larger-capacity machines plus PaperCut print-management software to improve tracking and reduce service calls. The presentation text in the minutes states "the total cost is reduced to $8,358.07 which is a total savings of $1,595.16 across the length of the contract."
Despite the presentation text reporting $8,358.07 as a reduced monthly cost, the recorded motion that the board passed lists the new monthly lease as $8,402.38; that motion (moved by Dr. Robert Sherman and seconded by James Kosenesky) passed on a unanimous roll call. The minutes do not explain the discrepancy between the two figures. The board approved training and installation to occur during winter break so machines can be updated without disrupting school operations.
