Resolution 7079, Approving the Purchase of a New Postage Machine <br />13 <br />14 Assistant to the Administrator Crane outlined the quotes for the new postage machine for <br />15 Council. Staff explained that the quotes provided at the work session have changed because the <br />16 Post Office only makes a 10 pound and 30 pound scale and the 30 pound scale is very expensive. <br />17 <br />18 Assistant to the Administrator Crane explained the quotes and noted that Staff would like to <br />19 purchase the machine from Minnesota Mailing Solutions as the City has been using Pitney <br />2o Bowes for over 10 years and Staff would like to use another company as they have had very poor <br />21 customer service from Pitney Bowes. <br />22 <br />23 Council Member Stigney asked if Staff asked Minnesota Mailing Solutions to beat the quote. • <br />24 <br />25 Assistant to the Administrator Crane said that she could do that but has spent a lot of time <br />26 negotiating already. She then said that Staff would be without a postage machine for a couple of <br />27 weeks if asked to delay. <br />28 <br />29 Council Member Mueller said that it is difficult to meet or beat when the first company will not <br />3o specifically state what the price will be. <br />31 <br />32 Council Member Mueller asked if this will be depreciated as a capital improvement. <br />33 <br />34 Finance Director Beer indicated that is correct and it will depreciate about $800 per year. <br />35 <br />36 Council Member Hull asked how many service calls there are per month. <br />37 <br />38 Ms. Crane indicated it is at least once a week now. <br />39 <br />4o Council Member Flaherty said that as soon as you start shopping quotes then people will not <br />41 quote you. <br />42 <br />43 Council Member Mueller asked which unit the Staff would prefer. <br />44 • <br />
