Committee renews Cisco phone licensing; members discuss timing to avoid 25% price increase and review sales-tax receipts
Summary
Finance voted to renew Cisco phone licensing under MIS's contract; members discussed that renewing now avoids a 25% increase and heard finance staff report mixed recent sales-tax receipts and a cash-flow forecast.
The committee approved Resolution No. 34 to renew the MIS contract with 1st Light for Cisco phone system licensing. The motion was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote, with one member recorded as opposed.
Chair noted the timing of the renewal: “Just so you know that if I have passing the resolution and going through the board, we're avoiding a 25% increase even for the system.” Finance staff provided revenue context, reporting that the 0.25 sales-tax receipts were up 2.7% but the last two revenue receipts were down 3 percent and that cash flow improvements did not begin until March; the committee said it would watch receipts and review a cash flow forecast. The committee also noted a preliminary budget meeting with the college next Thursday to highlight emerging issues.
The discussion combined procurement and short-term fiscal monitoring; the transcript does not record detailed contract pricing or a formal cost-avoidance calculation beyond the chair's statement.
