2. The Budget was approved 6v the City Council as submitted. '^�
3 . The price of two security cameras, including all required extra
equipment, is 10,104 Plus the ]abor~ to ir8stal3 the cameras.
Ho
wever, we could reduce this cost by $885 if we did not purchase
a monitor, and instead had the cameras monitored at another
location, such as the police station (assumingrthey have a
monitor).
^ �
Further, the equipment could be rented for approximately
$100-$125 per month, although a firm price quote has not been
obtained on this. °
` It was noted that the Board has $2,232 in it's checking account
as of June 30, which could be used to pay for rental for six' ~
months to determine the effectivepess of the cameras. An '
appropriate six month period wcoAld have to be selected.
M.Pritchett moved (N.Benold 2nd) that Nancy Snead be authorized
to obtain a vendor price quote on the purchase, lease -purchase,
and rental of, the camera eqw i pment as required for the Library �
needs. Approved by the ;9oard . '
Note: D.Sul]ivan lefQ at this onint, but there was still a quorum.
4. N.Snead moved (N^Benold 2nd), and the Board approved, that
Robert Horrick and Judy Doter be appointed to look into acquiring
microcomputersfor public use, as the Library already has a grant `
