At this time perhaps the City should not be <br /> remodeling or purchasing a laser printer. <br /> Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, stated that there was a need for a <br /> laser printer. The City does information services and to process <br /> information, the printer has to be available. If one printer goes down, the <br /> City has fewer options to meet deadlines. Orduno also stated that if the <br /> City does not upgrade or replace equipment it will become more costly in the <br /> long run. <br /> Mr. Jahnke stated that he works construction and his place of employment is <br /> hurting too. Where he works there is equipment that needs to be replaced <br /> but the money isn't there. <br /> Mayor Linke responded that if the equipment broke down, however, it would be <br /> replaced. <br /> Orduno explained that money has been put into the existing printer for <br /> repairs a couple of times and to put more money into this type of equipment. <br /> is not worth it. <br /> Mr. Jahnke stated he agrees that it is not always cost effective always to <br /> repair old equipment, however, the equipment can still be repaired to run <br /> another year or so until the outlook is better. Mr. Jahnke raised a <br /> question regarding the position of Engineering Aide. Jahnke wondered if <br /> this was a new or old position. <br /> Orduno explained that this was a position vacated approximately 8 months <br /> ago. The City has made do by having other staff split the duties. There <br /> were several things not getting done. <br /> Mr. Jahnke stated then everyone will have to work harder for their money. <br /> Mr. Stigney stated that there would be no cost to put the survey in the <br /> newsletter. Stigney suggested the Council run the survey in the newsletter <br /> and see what responses are received. <br /> Mayor Linke stated that the current newsletter was 32 pages and that is the <br /> contract amount Any additional pagesare$-8-2.0-0—per page-. - <br /> Mr. Stigney stated that the City is spending $14 .50 for each survey. <br /> Stigney stated that some of the fluff could be cut from the newsletter. <br /> Mayor Linke stated the newsletter was required by the Charter. 111 <br />
