This terminal, a Hewlet Packard 125, is outdated in that we can no longer get floppy discs for it as late as 9 months aao. Now it hasbeaun acting up, in that for the last month, it has gone off its proaram several times and is requiring lonaer and more expertise to bring back up its operation. Technicians from Loais told us six months ago that it could go anytime and it is no\i cn its last lerr, i am requesting permission to purchase an IBM PC 2 with word processing software to replace this terminal as soon as possible. This replacement would be compatible with our purchase in 1988 for the replacement of the state terminal. The cost of the terminal will be about $5,100 with appropriate software for word processing. I have requested two quotes and am expecting them within 10 days. I am also requesting permission to purchase a transcriber out of existing budget funds to replace a transcriber that is beyond repair. This old transcriber was confiscated by the departoent 5 years ago from a burglar and has aiven good service but is now unrepairable and outdated. A new replacement will be approx. $380 from Business Products. TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrator Forwarded Recommending approval. PROPOSED MOTION - Moved by _, seconded by _, to authorize purchase of a transcriber from the 1988 police department budget in the approximat amount of $380; and a police department terminal/word processor with software from Equipment Outlay Fund monies in the approximv^ amount of $5,100.
