OFFICIAL
DECEMBER 6, 2012, 20th DAY OF
THE OCTOBER ADJOURN TERM

The County Commission met in the Commission Hearing Room at 8:04 a.m. with Ron
Houseman, Danny Strahan and Jim Strafuss present. The following proceedings were had and
made a matter of record:

MANAGED PRINT SERVICES

Purchasing Agent Ron Erickson and Mark Rys with I.S. Department met with the County
Commission to make a recommendation that departments be directed to contact the I.S.
Department and Mark Rys when they have specific print services needs or equipment that needs
to be replaced. We are anticipating using existing contracts such as GDWG, Wiska, AEPA and
the State Bidding Process to buy equipment when necessary. They also discussed different
vendors and different printing options including the replacement of ink and toner with more
efficient laser jet printers or copiers. Centralize some printing jobs to eliminate some of the desk
top stuff. CPC will eliminate 100% toner, maintenance, service calls etc. Managed Print
Services would help reduce county costs on toner and maintenance. Discussion ensued. It was
suggested that an email be sent to all Department Heads and Employees notifying them that this
is what we are transitioning to. Ron Erickson gave kudos to the I.S. Department Melissa Trotter
especially and Mark Rys for all of their hard work. The Commission gave their support to
purchase 30 machines today via the state contract for cost saving measures.
