MENU TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL 1k FROM: DONALD BRAGER, FINANCE DIRECTOR 41 DATE: FEBRUARY 4, 1987 SUBJECT: PROPOSED PURCHASE, OF A LETTER QUALITY PRINTER FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT The last paragraph of my February 2, 1987 memorandum on this subject indicated that the 1987 Budget has $7,000 listed for computer equipment which includes an additional work station for the Texas Instruments computer system. My memorandum further stated that the present Parks and Recreation Department printer would be suitable for that work station. This memorandum will clarify those statements. In proposing the purchase of the printer for the Park and Recreation Department, Staff seeks to resolve the problems of the Department that were outlined in the previous memorandum by the transfer of the printer the Department is presently using to another work station which is budgeted for 1987 and using monies budgeted for the new work station's printer to help purchase the new printer. In doing so no additional equipment beyond that which has been budgeted will be purchased. The 1987 Budget has $7,OU0 budgeted for the purchase of two �~ work stations for the Texas Instruments computer system. Each work station is budgeted at $3,500 and includes: Model 931 Video Display Terminal $1,35U Model 865 Printer 1,400 Work Station Furniture and Chair 750 TOTAL $3,500 Should the Diablo Model 630 printer be purchased for the Parks and Recreation Department, the Department's Texas Instruments Model 865 printer would be used for one of the new work stations. In doing so $1,400 of the cost of the Diablo Printer could come from that portion of the budget leaving a balance of $1,090 to finance. One of the works stations budgeted is for the Police Department. Chief Ramacher has informed me that the Department will place their work station on existing furniture and thus not use the $750 budgeted for furniture. Use of that portion of the budget leaves a balance of $340 to finance. That $340 could come from that portion of the budget not needed for the purchase of two personal computers for the Finance Department. The 1987 budget allowed $6,000 for them and only $5,300 was used leaving a balance of $700 available for other items. A portion of that could be used for the purchase of the printer for the Parks and Recreation Department.
