Body
WHEREAS, the current lease on our mail machine will be up in September and the Service department has been investigating replacement machine options; and
WHEREAS, by making some minor processing changes and with the reduction in volume with water/sewer bills processed off-site it is possible to reduce the lease price per month from $795 to $652 a month; and
WHEREAS, the Director of Public Service has recommended we enter into a 5 year lease with Pitney Bowes for the DM875 Digital Mailing System and the machine is on the State contract #800051; and
WHEREAS, it is imperative to move forward with this new lease as Pitney Bowes will allow us to exit our current lease, thus saving the difference between the two leases, and all for the preservation of the public peace, property, health, safety and welfare;
