W1 AY <br />17 <br />1983 <br />BOOK <br />T9.0 Fns;E <br />401 <br />Administrator <br />Balczun advised that we have a real <br />problem <br />at <br />the main library as the copier is out to the extent that it is <br />recommended that we don't bother with the repairs, which can be <br />terribly expensive on that machine. The safest course of action. <br />would be to trade the old machine in for $2499 and replace it <br />with a new unit. <br />Chairman Scurlock did not have a problem with that, but <br />wished that Mary Kiser would get her act together. She wrote a <br />memo earlier complaining about salaries and the lack of help from <br />the Budget Office, but now it seems she has plenty of money in <br />salaries to fund the copier. <br />Commissioner Eggert explained that was a misunderstanding. <br />Ms. Kiser was not criticizing the Budget Office, she was <br />criticizing a woman in the Personnel Office. <br />Commissioner Bowman did not know what kind of a copier they <br />need, but felt that $2499 was a very high price. <br />Commissioner Eggert understood that Ms. Kiser doesn't like <br />the kind of copiers we buy here and feels this copier works <br />better for the library, and Administrator Balczun confirmed that <br />is so. <br />Commissioner Bird believed there were a lot of copiers out <br />there for less than $2500, and Commissioner Bowman emphasized <br />that that when you consider how much it costs, you should <br />consider the actual use and how much each copy costs. The <br />brochures do not really tell you that. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, that the Board accept staff's <br />recommendation and allocate up to $2499 for the <br />purchase of a new copier for the main library, but <br />encourage Ms. Kiser to get together with the County's <br />Purchasing Manager and see what copier would best <br />suit her needs at a competitive price. <br />58 <br />
