283 (D M co Q z ?i Regular Council Meeting - 11/21/94 Page Nine Mrs. Cinco suggested increasing the authorization to $2,500 pursuant to Gus' memo to Council over the weekend regarding the purchase of a demo unit for an additional $50. Mr. Basile, seconded by Mr. Fixler, made a motion to authorize an expenditure of $2,500 to I.G.M. Copy Products, Inc. for the purchase of a copy machine. Mr. Flynn stated a correction to his Finance Committee report--the bottom-line amount would be $2,500. Mr. Busa said this is the end result of subjects that do not go through Safety and Service; he questioned why it had not gone to Safety and Service. Mrs. Cinco said she does not believe this would be an item for Safety and Service; the Finance Committee discussed it. Mr. Flynn asked if this was a good brand. Mr. Brett said it is like purchasing a camera or a computer. Different people swear by a particular brand; different people swear at it. Mr. Fixler questioned the warranty available for a demo machine. Mr. Brett said he does not think the warranty is as big an issue as the actual service contract. ROLL CALL: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Expenditure Authorized Motion to authorize the release of the retainage for the 1994 as?halt street reRair program to Velotta Paving in the amount of $662.80 Mr. Hovancsek said this is a routine procedure. When a contractor finishes a project and work is acceptable, the municipality generally releases the 4% retained. At this time, we feel their work is acceptable (it is completed) and the 4% should be paid to the contractor. Mr. Brett said this doesn't necessarily go to Council, I just developed this so you know when you are signing off on a project. He will generally just make them aware he is releasing the retainage for the project.
