Summary

The board approved purchasing a police department copier rather than continuing a lease, citing multi-year savings; the board also authorized a staff member named Kevin to sign the contract.

Board members discussed a lease-purchase update from the police department and were told buying the copier would yield savings over the lease and maintenance costs. A staff member explained the savings and confirmed the equipment would become city property; a Committee member moved to purchase the printer and proceed with the contract, the Chair seconded and the motion passed.

The board also discussed signature authorization and agreed Kevin would sign the contract on the city's behalf. "So it is quite a big savings over the course of several years, obviously, not paying that lease and maintenance," a staff member said during the discussion.
