Baird <br />Director, Budget Office <br />SUBJECT: Surplus Property <br />FROM: 4n ' REFERENCES: <br />Caroly Goodrich, Manager _ <br />Purch ing Department <br />The County has 2 point of sale terminals (cash registers) <br />that are obsolete and no longer being used. This equipment <br />must be declared as surplus property so it can be advertised <br />and sold. <br />Description Asset# <br />lint of Sale Terminal 7715 <br />int of Sale Terminal 4863 <br />Date Purchased <br />5-24-8$- <br />10-21-83 <br />Amount <br />$5199.00 <br />5548.00 <br />taff recommends this equipment be declared surplus so it can <br />e advertised and sold. <br />issioner Wheeler questioned equipment being declared <br />obsolete that was listed as purchased in May of 1987, and OMB <br />Baird advised that was a typo; the first item listed was actually <br />purci7ased by the Clerk in 1985. He advised that another two <br />"Point of Sale Terminals" (cash registers) were sold before, and <br />I <br />we didn't even come close to what was paid for them. They are <br />now an obsolete piece of equipment. IBM doesn't even make these <br />any more. <br />Commissioner Wheeler -bid not understand how this equipment <br />could be purchased at this price and then become obsolete so <br />quickly. He felt this certainly would be poor planning. <br />Chairman Scurlock explained that the Clerk's entire opera- <br />tion is now computerized, and these'machines are not compatible. <br />Commissioner Wheeler wished to know if there aren't some <br />other counties somewhere which still may be using this equipment <br />I� <br />AUG 18.1981 21 & BOOK f'r1vE.�.V <br />
