Regular Council Meeting <br />3-20-00 <br />Page 9 <br /> <br /> <br />¦ A motion to authorize an expenditure in the amount of $555 per month for 48 months to <br />Pitney Bowes for the lease of a postal meter and addresser equipment <br />Council President Marquardt asked if there were any comments. <br />Dr. Parker asked if the representatives from Pitney Bowes, present, would make a presentation. <br />Stephen Vojvodich, District Sales Manager, introduced himself and Keith Bilczo, Sa1es Executive. <br />Mr. Vojvodich said he made the recommendation for the particular equipment being considered <br />based on our needs. This information was explained in the memo Council had received. He and Mr. <br />Bilczo were here this evening to answer any questions Council may have. <br />Dr. Parker asked if the Village will own the equipment after the lease and what our costs will be <br />after tha.t time. <br />Mr. Vojvodich said the Village will own the equipment but not the meter. At the end of the lease, <br />we will still have to pay the meter rental and fees for maintenance and software. He estimates it will <br />be $308.00/month at the end of our lease agreement. With what this equipment would generate in <br />the way of savings, it could put monies back into the Village. <br />Dr. Parker asked if it will be updated. <br />Mr. Vojvodich said the Village's current equipment is 9 years old so he feels safe in saying the new <br />equipment could still be used after the 4 year lease is up. <br />Dr. Parker questioned the use of e-stamps. <br />Mr. Vojvodich said that type of program is excellent for people who would ha.ve 1-2 envelopes per <br />day. Each one must be put through a laser printer. He explained that they do not see much of this in <br />a commercial environment. Mr. Buckholtz asked if the equipment could be upgraded during the lease (if there is a situation <br />where it would be beneficial to us.) <br />Mr. Vojvodich said yes, absolutely. <br />Roll Call: AYES: All <br />NAYS: None <br />Motion Carried <br />Expenditure Authorized <br />¦ A motion to authorize an expenditure in the amount of $6,700 to Southeast Golf Cart <br />Company for the purchase of one golf cart for the Police Department
