ACTION ON A REQUEST FROM JESSICA JENNINGS, PROCUREMENT SPECIALIST ON AWARDING RFP 2026-001 COPIER LEASE FOR A COUNTY WIDE, MULTIFUNCTION DEVICE SOLUTION. I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE FOR DISCUSSION. OKAY. SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ZAGORSKY, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER YARDLEY. OKAY. DISCUSSION OPEN. GOOD MORNING GENTLEMEN. MISS JESSICA IS OUT TODAY. SO I WAS ON THE COMMITTEE ALONG WITH MISS MARCY AND MR. STEVEN THAT DID GO THROUGH THIS. WE DID NARROW IT DOWN AND WE DID GO WITH KNIGHT. BUT KNIGHT DID GIVE US WITH THREE OPTIONS. NOW, AFTER WE'VE GONE THROUGH THESE OPTIONS, I CAN GO THROUGH EACH ONE AND EXPLAIN THEM TO YOU IF YOU WOULD LIKE. BUT OUR RECOMMENDATION AS A COMMITTEE IS WE WOULD LIKE TO GO WITH OPTION THREE. IT IS THE MORE EXPENSIVE OF THE OPTIONS, BUT IT COVERS 111 OF OUR DIFFERENT MACHINES, INCLUDING COPIERS AND PRINTERS, INCLUDING THE INK, WHICH YOU ALL KNOW IS EXPENSIVE. AND SOMETIMES IT'S ON BACK ORDER. MISS MARCY CAN TELL YOU HOW MUCH TIME SHE SPENDS JUST GETTING INK FOR HER PRINTERS. SO IT IS A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT IT DOES COVER A LOT MORE MACHINES. THAT'S ALSO ANY KIND OF REPLACEMENTS, THEM COMING OUT TO FIX THEM WITH THEM BEING REALLY CLOSE. RIGHT? IN CORPUS, WE REALLY THOUGHT THEY WERE THE BETTER DEAL OVERALL. I ALSO, OF COURSE, SPOKE WITH MR. PATRICK AND MR. HOMER IN THE AUDITORS. I BELIEVE THEY AGREE IT IS A FIVE YEAR LEASE, BUT THEY WERE SAYING THAT THEY WERE ALL RIGHT WITH THAT FOR THE VALUE THEY THINK THAT WE ARE GETTING. BUT YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO ASK THEM AS WELL. WHAT ABOUT THE COPIERS THAT WE ACTUALLY OWN? WE DID NOT INCLUDE COPIERS THAT WE ACTUALLY OWNED IN THAT WE WERE JUST PUTTING ONES THAT WE WOULD BE LEASING. AS FAR AS THE PRINTERS. GO AHEAD. SORRY. AS WE FACE OUT, COPIERS THAT WERE THAT ARE OWNED BY THE COUNTY AND THEY WANT TO GET NEW ONES, ARE THEY GOING TO BE ABLE TO ADD TO THAT LIST? THEY DID NOT SAY THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM, BUT THAT WOULD BE A CASE BY CASE, DEPENDING ON. BUT YES, WE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON COPIERS. YES WE DO, WE DO. JUST WONDERING, YOU KNOW, WHETHER WHETHER WHEN WE BUY A NEW ONES RATHER THAN BUY THEM FOR THE COUNTY, WE JUST LEASE THEM UNDER THIS CONTRACT. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS OPEN TO THAT. YES, IT IS OPEN. THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO WORK WITH US IN THESE OPTIONS. JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE DID HAVE SOME THAT WERE ALREADY CURRENTLY LEASING FROM THEM. SO THEY GAVE US AN OPTION OF JUST DOING NEW ONES. AND THEY ALSO GAVE US AN OPTION OF STARTING ALL OF THEM AT THE SAME START DATE IF WE WANTED. SO THEY'VE BEEN REALLY VERY WELL. I STEPHEN, HAVE YOU HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THEM HELPING YOU WITH ANY WAY YOU'VE ASKED? SO YES, ALMOST ANYTHING WE'VE ASKED THEM, THEY'VE COME BACK WITH PATRICK. YOU'RE GOOD WITH THAT. OKAY. YES WE'RE GOOD. AND THAT ALSO INCLUDES THE BUYOUT OF OF ANY EXISTING LEASES. AND SO I MEAN THIS JUST KIND OF WORKED OUT. WE'RE STILL BE WE'LL STILL BE CHEAPER THAN WHAT WE'RE PAYING RIGHT NOW.

OKAY. AS WITH ALL THE INDIVIDUAL LEASES THAT WE HAVE OUT THERE, AND THIS WILL GET US ALL IN THE SAME STARTING POINT AND, AND IT'LL HELP US IN EVERY RENEGOTIATE, YOU KNOW, FIVE YEARS DOWN THE LINE. AND SO THAT'LL HELP. WELL, I THANK YOU FOR BEING THOROUGH ON THAT. OF COURSE. NO PROBLEM. I DO APPRECIATE SEEING THIS. THIS IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING I THINK I STARTED ASKING ABOUT WHEN I FIRST GOT ON THE COURT. ANYTIME WE CAN CONSOLIDATE AND INSTEAD OF INDIVIDUALLY LEASING AND PURCHASING, I THINK IS A BETTER DEAL. I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW MANY PHOTOCOPIERS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS THAT THE COUNTY HAS. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU COME UP WITH THAT, BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY ARE OWNED. I KNOW THAT THIS ONE OPTION THREE, WILL COVER 111, AND SOME OF THOSE ARE CURRENTLY OWNED BY MISS MARCY AS FAR AS THE PRINTERS GO. BUT THE COPIERS THAT PEOPLE ALREADY IN THE COUNTY OWN, I DO NOT KNOW, BUT I COULD TRY TO GET THAT NUMBER FOR YOU. I KNOW WE DID A SURVEY, BUT WE DID, YES, BUT I ASKED IF THEY WANTED TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS. I DID NOT ASK THEM IF THEY CURRENTLY HAD ONE THEY DID NOT WANT AS A PART OF THIS. SO I HAVE A QUESTION. YES, MA'AM. IS THE BILLING GOING TO BE ALL DONE BY ONE DEPARTMENT? BECAUSE I HATE NIGHT BILLING RIGHT NOW. I AM NOT EXACTLY

[00:40:06]

SURE GOING TO GO TO THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE. IT'LL JUST BE ALL INCLUSIVE. SO AND NOT EVERYBODY'S NOT GOING TO BE DOING THEIR OWN THING. SO THIS OFFICE WILL GO AND GET ONE BILL.

SO THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT. THANK YOU. THAT WAS GREAT. THAT'LL REDUCE THE COPYING COST.

THE OTHER THING TOO, YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT, ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THAT YOU ACTUALLY OWN OR THAT YOU'RE CURRENTLY USING? WELL, WE HAVE CURRENTLY WE'RE ARE SOME DEPARTMENTS HAVE SOME THEY ACTUALLY OWN THE COPIERS AND SOME THEY'RE LEASING. THEY MAY BE. AND AS THEY WEAR OUT, DO WE WANT TO JUST ADD THEM TO THE THE NEW LEASE? CORRECT? CORRECT. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF THOSE. IT WASN'T IN THE SURVEY THAT YOU ASKED. I WOULDN'T THINK IT WAS THAT MANY.

MOST. WELL, I WE DON'T KNOW. THAT'D BE A GOOD QUESTION TO SEND OUT TO ALL DEPARTMENT HEADS AND ELECTED OFFICIALS TO FIND OUT HOW MANY ARE ACTUALLY OWN COPIERS. THE PRINTERS WE KNOW WE OWN. SO FOR ME, I THINK I HAVE LIKE, I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT DESKTOP COPIERS. NO, NO, NO JETS OR WHATEVER YOU CALL THEM. RIGHT, RIGHT. THAT WAS A WASTED ANYWAYS, THAT'S INCLUDED IN THAT 10,000. THEY WILL REPLACE THOSE PRINTERS AND WE'LL GET THE TONER AND THE INK THAT WE NEED FOR THOSE AS THEY GO OUT. BUT AS FAR AS WHAT, WHAT WE, WHAT WE OWN, I DON'T KNOW. THAT WOULD BE IN OUR ASSETS. CORRECT? CORRECT. OKAY. BUT THEY HAVE PLENTY OF DIFFERENT, VARIETY THAT WE CAN REPLACE THOSE WITH. I KNOW I HAVE AN OLD ONE THAT I OWN AND IT'S, IT'S VERY OLD. IT'S PROBABLY 20 YEARS OLD. IT'S PROBABLY STILL CHUGGING ALONG.

IT IS BARELY, BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN DOES THIS TAKE EFFECT? WHEN DOES THIS TAKE EFFECT? WELL, EFFECTIVE WHEN. WELL, THAT'S WHAT I THINK. WE'RE STILL WE CAN STILL NEGOTIATE WITH NIGHT AND WE CAN TALK TO THEM ABOUT THE COPIES THAT ARE OWNED, AND THEN GO THROUGH THAT NEGOTIATION PROCESS AND THEN ALSO NEGOTIATE THE STARTING DATE. THAT WAY WE CAN GET ON A, ON A CLEAN DATE. SO BUY OUT OUR, OUR CURRENT LEASES AND THEN WE'LL GO FROM THERE. I'LL AMEND MY MOTION TO GO WITH NIGHT AND A 60 MONTH LEASE FOR $10,990.73. AND MY SECOND TO THE SAME MOTION AND A SECOND. YES, MA'AM. OPTION THREE ANY OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? HEARING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION SAY AYE. AYE. THOSE OPPOSED. SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES. OKAY.

THANK YOU TRISH. OKAY. 2.4 L, WE GOT LET'S SEE. WE GOTTA GO. KAY. FIRST. ONLY GOT 2.4 K

WE SEVERAL ELECTED OFFICIALS GAVE INPUTS THAT THING A LONG TIME AGO. AND, NOW HERE WE ARE DOING YET ANOTHER SALARY STUDY. AND I HOPE AT THE END OF THE SALARY STUDY, PART OF THAT PROJECT IS WE ACTUALLY GET A PAY AND COMPENSATION PLAN THAT GOES WITH THAT SALARY STUDY THAT WORKS SO THAT WHEN WE'RE HIRING PEOPLE, THE SALARY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS SHOULD BE BASED ON THE PAYING COMPENSATION PLAN. AND THAT WAY, WHEN AN ELECTED OFFICIAL IS ASKING SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM THAT, EITHER THEY HAVE TO JUSTIFY WHY THEY'RE NOT FOLLOWING THE PAYING COMPENSATION PLAN, OR WE CAN VOTE TO FOLLOW PAYING COMPENSATION PLAN AND NOT WHAT THE ELECTED OFFICIAL WANTS.
