Staff proposes to hold the Grand Opening the week of September 19-24, 2022. The idea would be to coordinate a ribbon cutting during the week (or Saturday) followed by a large open house on Saturday, September 24 that would involve multiple activities. Access would be free for everyone! The Grand Opening would be the main focus of our membership push for fall. Having the ribbon cutting and open house later in September will have more community members focused on thinking about their outdoor workouts needing to come indoors, and looking for indoor activities to entertain their kids and us hitting the ‘sweet spot’ for capturing attention. Requested Council Direction Select a date and time for the Rookery Activity Center ribbon cutting ceremony. + Expenditures July 25, 2022 Check #116833 to #116903 $569,008.63 Electronic Funds Transfer MN Statute 471.38 Subd. 3 Council Meeting July 25, 2022 Transfer In/(Out) 7/15/2022 HAS Bank ER Contribution (Natzke) (125.00) 7/8/2022 Payroll #14 (194,282.76) 7/8/2022 Payroll #14 Federal Deposit (57,940.88) 7/8/2022 Payroll #14 PERA (51,677.18) 7/8/2022 Payroll #14 State (12,754.99) 7/8/2022 Payroll #14 Child Support (1,020.80) 7/8/2022 Payroll #14 H.S.A.

Councilmember Lyden suggested 46 that, ahead of any tour, he’d like staff to provide their opinion on what is needed; where 47 updates are needed for this City. Mayor Rafferty noted his rationale for seeking an 48 improved facility. Councilmember Lyden remarked that considering finances is an 49 important element as well. 50 2.

The increase is due to the age of the machine which prompted City staff to analyze buying vs. leasing a new machine. BACKGROUND The City’s current postage machine is an IN-700. It was purchased in 2016 for $3,825. An invoice is received annually for the standard maintenance contract, meter rental, and rate maintenance. The current annual invoice totals $1,826.31. In addition, the machine will be non- compliant with the USPS within 2 years because of a new IMI barcode requirement which is not present on the machine. Quadient provided a proposal, including lease and buy options, for an iX-5 machine. The iX-5 is a smaller machine than the IN-700 which is more appropriate for the City’s postage volume. The iX-5 also has the IMI barcode needed to be compliant with the USPS. Leasing the iX-5 will save money over the life of the lease compared to owning the machine and paying the increased standard maintenance every year. A lease locks in the 5-year monthly payment, is part of the State of Minnesota negotiated pricing, and the 1st year of standard maintenance is free which is calculated into the lease amount. Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Total Lease 2,108.16$ 2,108.16$ 2,108.16$ 2,108.16$ 2,108.16$ 10,540.80$ Buy Machine 3,985.00$ -$ -$ -$ -$ 3,985.00$ Meter Rental 480.00$ 480.00$ 480.00$ 480.00$ 480.00$ 2,400.00$ Maint Contract 768.00$ 806.40$ 887.04$ 1,020.10$ 1,224.12$ 4,705.65$ 5,233.00$ 1,286.40$ 1,367.04$ 1,500.10$ 1,704.12$ 11,090.65$ The old machine has no salvage value and will be disposed of. Quadient will deliver and provide training on the new iX-5 machine. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends disposing of the current IN-700 Postage Machine and leasing an iX-5 Postage Machine from Quadient. ATTACHMENTS Quadient iX-5 Postage Machine Proposal Prepared for: Proposal date: Valid until: Submitted by: BUSINESS CASE iX-5 Auto Feed Mailing Machine City of Lino Lakes 7/31/22 Brian Dykhuizen Senior Account Executive b.Dykhuizen@quadient.com (320) 282-2305 7/11/22 This document is strictly private, confidential and personal to its recipients and should not be copied, distributed or reproduced in whole or in part, nor passed to any third party without the express written consent of Quadient. Executive Summary Current Mailing Situation Quadient Recommendations New Equipment Impact •Currently own an IN-700 mailing machine that is now a larger machine than is needed for their current volume. •The annual maintenance continues to increase due to the age and size of the machine. •The USPS is requiring all mailing machines to have the new IMI barcode within the next 2 years so the IN-700 will be non- compliant. •The machine is over 6 years old and starting to show its age. •Quadient recommends right sizing the mailing machine to an iX-5 auto feed which is more appropriate for the volume. •The new iX-5 has the IMI barcode needed to be compliant with the USPS. •Quadient also recommends leasing the new machine to help control costs be locking in the monthly amount for 5 years. •The Quadient iX-5 mailing machine is very similar to the current machine so there will be minimal disruption with the installation. •The new iX-5 is already manufactured with the new USPS IMI barcode requirements so there will be no down time when the process is implemented. •The proposed lease amount will save money over the life of the lease vs owning the current machine and paying the increased maintenance every year. The City of Lino Lakes has been a customer of Quadient for over 16 years. During my meeting with Hannah Lynch, we discussed how the mail volume has decreased because the utility bills are being outsourced. Hannah also presented the current annual maintenance invoice, and it has increased on a yearly basis. Currently the City of Lino Lakes owns their mailing machine and pays for the meter rental and annual maintenance. I also informed Hannah that the current mailing machine will be non-compliant with the USPS within 2 years because of the new IMI barcode required on the meter. I agreed to provide Hannah with pricing and information on a new machine and provide both purchase and leasing options that she could present at the July 25th meeting.

Because leasing leverages technology while providing simplified financing and cash flow forecasting, most customers choose to lease their Quadient product solutions. Other unique benefits of leasing with Quadient Leasing include: No Need to Compromise. Leasing offers you the technology and associated productivity you require while meeting cash flow needs. Lease term lengths typically correspond to the useful life of hardware, so you’re paying for the equipment as you use it rather than all at once. Conserve Working Capital and Credit. By leasing with Quadient Leasing, your organization can retain available lines of credit at other lending institutions and preserve valuable working capital to grow and manage your business. Leasing Is 100% Financing. Unlike a bank loan, there is no down payment required to lease with Quadient Leasing. Soft costs such as meter rental, maintenance agreements and software subscriptions can also be included in your lease payment and fixed for the entire term. Overcome Budget Limitations. In situations where active budgets would ordinarily delay or prevent new equipment acquisitions, Quadient Leasing can customize your lease agreement to accommodate both current and future budgetary requirements. Flexibility. As a Quadient customer, we provide your organization with maximum flexibility to upgrade or add equipment at any time in order to satisfy changes in your business requirements. Keep Pace with Technology. Technology advances so rapidly that equipment can become obsolete within a few years. Leasing allows you to regularly upgrade systems to a state-of-the-art level, eliminating the inefficiencies associated with owning outdated equipment.
