Summary

Chief Davenport raised toner costs and a possible copier rental that would include ink cartridges; Trustee Fruit asked the clerk to check whether an annual computer replacement rotation exists and requested it be implemented if not.

Chief Adam Davenport told the committee he had looked into the recurring cost of toner for smaller printers at the Police Station and that he contacted a company the Village already uses about renting a larger copier that would include ink cartridges in the rental fee. The minutes record the copier option as a potential way to address toner expenses but include no pricing or contract details.

Separately, the committee discussed the age of desktop computers and laptops. Trustee Fruit asked Village Clerk Leslie Scidmore to reach out to Mike Ryan, the Village IT Specialist, to determine whether an existing computer rotation schedule is in place. Trustee Fruit asked that, if a rotation does not already exist, the Village adopt an annual replacement rotation for all computers and laptops.

The minutes do not record follow-up deadlines or estimated replacement costs; the clerk was asked to check with the IT specialist and report back.
