that is available for purchase thru Hennepin County at a reduced
rate if the machines are ordered before December 31 , 1 986.
Delivery and payment for these machines would not be until 198$
so it could be budgeted for in the 1988 Budget. We can purchase
these machines along with a majority of other cities in Hennepin
County at a cost of $4,176.00 per machine. We need 6 machines.
If they are not purchased with the County now, they would cost
$4,800.00 or more per machine in 1988. They will not only save
time in counting the votes but can eliminate crossover votes in
primary elections and other mistakes made by the voters. They
will also eliminate paying for the preparation of ballot pages
and the County will do the programming for free.
