FC CASE <br /> <br />AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF A SNACK MACHINE FOR CITY HALL <br /> Kim Moore-Sykes, Assistant City Administrator <br /> <br />Background: Since May, the Labor/Management Committee has been meeting on a regular <br />basis, to discuss issues and concerns that affect the Staff. In August, a suggestion was made to <br />research the possibility of purchasing a snack vending machine. The proposed snack machine <br />would be installed near the current soda machines. <br /> <br />One of the main reasons stated for this purchase included the need to have a more secure means <br />of selling and storing snacks because there have been occasions where unauthorized access to <br />City Hall offices have resulted in the theft of both snacks and money. Two of those instances <br />occurred this summer. <br /> <br />Another stated reason was that profits made as the result of the sale of these snacks could be <br />used to fund employee activities, such as employee holiday lunches. <br /> <br />Observations: Information about the cost of a vending machine was gathered by the members <br />of the Labor/Management Committee (LMC). Machine prices range from approximately $450 <br />to $2,500. In reviewing this information, the Committee found that the prices were indicative of <br />the size and options available for each machine. The Committee indicated that the machine that <br />they felt would best suited for City Hall use is one that costs $1,450. This machine is capable of <br />hold more snacks, provides storage for snacks and has a dollar bill changer. <br /> <br />The Committee is proposing that the initial proceeds from the sale of the snacks would be used <br />to repay the City Contingency Fund, if Council approved the purchase of this machine. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the purchase of the snack machine as <br />recommended by the Labor/Management Committee, from Jen's Vending and approve the <br />transfer of funds from the City's Contingency Fund to the General Fund Building fund to <br />purchase a snack machine for $1,450. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br />Motion to authorize the purchase of the snack machine as recommended by the <br />Labor/Management Committee, from Jen's Vending and approve the transfer of funds from the <br />City's Contingency Fund to the General Fund Building fund to purchase a snack machine for <br />$1,450. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />City Administrator <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />Resolution #00-10- <br />FC: 10/24/2000 <br /> <br />Copies also Distributed to: <br />Rhonda Heryla <br />Diana Lurid <br />Dan Bray <br /> <br />Cityshare/authorizing the purchs of snack machin cas.res <br /> <br /> <br />
