POLICE DEPARTMENT
Minolta CS PRO 2080 Copier Purchase. Lt. van Deutekom reported that the current
Police Department copier is unreliable due to numerous and lengthy repair periods. The
current copier has been out of service at least 12 times during the past year. Based on
demonstration machines tested, the most reliable copier was a Minolta CS PRO 2080.
The total cost to purchase the Minolta copier is $7,393 and the 1999 Budget includes
$7,000 for this equipment. The present copier can be sold outright for $750, which
would cover the deficiency. The Committee recommends approval of the purchase
of the Minolta CS PRO 2080 copier at a cost of $7,393.

for the first quarter of 1999. A total of 104 surveys were tallied for Patrol and 24 for

outstanding). Survey averages from the report ranged from 4.51 to 4.92. Lt. van
Deutekom noted that Patrol currently contacts citizens by phone and Communications
uses prepaid postage cards.
