MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL <br />PAGE TWO <br />JUNE 20, 1989 <br />5. The inclusion of a standard service for replace- <br />ment of the computer chip in the meter and scale <br />should the Post Office ever modify their rates. <br />The lease -purchase cost for this equipment would be $240 per <br />month for a 36 month lease, $204 for a 48 month Lease and <br />$182 per month for a 60 month lease. Since this equipment <br />lasts for between 10 and 15 years, I would suggest that the <br />60 month lease would be appropriate. Pitney Bowes has <br />offered to provide us with this equipment with the <br />understanding that billings would not be made until after <br />January 1 of 1990, thus allowing us to include it in the <br />1990 budget while having the equipment available to us at <br />this time. Pitney Bowes has further agreed to give us an <br />$800 trade-in on our current equipment, even though we have <br />been renting it from that firm and have not achieved <br />ownership of it at this time. <br />Staff would request Council authorization to include the <br />purchase of a new postage meter in the 1990 budget and <br />contract with Pitney Bowes for the provision of the above - <br />described equipment at this time. Your direction in this <br />matter would be appreciated. f� <br />DFP/MJS <br />11 <br />
