increase, depending on how many lines would be added. For example, <br /> currently the City has 9 lines available for telephone use from <br /> U.S. West; 3 for Police and 6 for City Hall. The expense for <br /> these lines is $49/line, or $441/month. If a new system were <br /> installed and additional lines were added, this cost would increase <br /> incrementally, ie. 10 lines would be $490, 11 lines would be $539, <br /> 12 lines would be $588, etc. . . However, if DID was used, the cost <br /> of these lines would change. Lets say the City increased the <br /> number of lines from 9 to 12 . 6 could be designated as DID lines <br /> and 6 could be designated as regular lines. The monthly cost would <br /> be $49/line for 6 lines ($294) plus $75/DID line ($450) which is <br /> $744/month. The difference between DID lines/month and regular <br /> lines/month is $156/month. <br /> SCENARIO 3 <br /> The City could purchase a new phone system with the capability for <br /> Voicemail and DID but purchase only the phone system and not the <br /> other options. <br /> PROS - This would enable the City to obtain on new phone system <br /> that could handle its immediate needs (giving Public Works and Park <br /> and Recreation their own numbers) and still have the capability of <br /> providing some other options if so needed down the road. This <br /> system would not limit the City in the future if its communication <br /> needs change. <br /> CONS - Purchasing the phone system (and no other options) and <br /> adding some lines will cost the City about $15,000 for the phones <br /> and another $150/month from U.S. West. <br />
