Adams <br /> Subject: Phone System <br /> The budget for the new administration building at City Hall contains a $70,000 item for a <br /> new phone system and low voltage wiring for phones and computers. Our current phone <br /> system has limited capability and has served us fairly well. The growth of personnel in <br /> our organization along with increased need to the internet is challenging our current <br /> system. The phone system at the plant has never been ideal, and with the addition of <br /> another building, the system has become inadequate particularly with the increase in <br /> calls. The phone system that will meet our needs is in the $30,000 range. A new system <br /> may also afford us an opportunity to reduce our monthly operating costs. <br /> The original plan was to purchase a phone system when we move into the new <br /> administration building. Staff recommends authorization be given to purchase a phone <br /> system now with the capabilities to move it to the new administration building in 14 to 16 <br /> months. <br />
