Lease Purchase Telephone Systems - County Health & Public <br />Defender <br />The Board reviewed memo of General Services Director Dean: <br />TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: August 28, 1985 FILE: <br />the Board of County <br />Commissioners <br />THRU: Michael Wright SUBJECT: Lease Purchase of Telephone <br />County Administrator Systems for County Health <br />Department and Public <br />Defender's Office <br />FROM: H. T. "Sona can REFERENCES: <br />Director <br />General Servi es Division <br />PUBLIC DEFENDERS' OFFICE: This department will be occupying space <br />previously held by the State Attorneys. The telephone system the <br />State Attorney used was leased from AT&T by him. Mr. Stone turned <br />this equipment back and bought under Florida State Contract. It is. <br />incumbent upon staff to make recommendations to the Board since the <br />County furnishes the Public Defender's telephone system. It is much <br />less expensive to buy a telephone system than to lease, especially <br />since they are on State Contract. <br />A system that would meet minimum requirements from AT&T would cost <br />$8,603.50. The price from State Contract that would exceed minimum <br />requirements with more features is priced at $8,205.00. <br />The County Health Department has been mandated by the State to enter <br />into a lease purchase agreement for the purchase of -a telephone <br />system and cancel all long term leases. <br />Since the State Contract offers a better rate of interest on <br />purchases over $20,000', and allows two or more systems on one <br />purchase order it is requested that authorization be given to enter <br />into an agreement of sixty months to purchase a telephone system for <br />the Public Defenders at a price not to exceed -$198.00 per month from <br />the State Contract. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved <br />the Lease Purchase of telephone systems for the <br />County Health Department and Public Defender's <br />office as recommended by staff. <br />(CONTRACTS ARE ON FILE IN THE CLERK'S OFFICE) <br />3 <br />BOOK <br />
