Recommendation Regarding Lease Agreement (Soda Machine) – Mayor Chiaverotti
explained the City Hall soda machine is malfunctioning and money has been stolen
from the machine at City Hall. The employees were polled at both locations and half
say they would use it at City Hall while the Library does not feel they need one. The
proposed machine will allow for all brands. Staff occasionally makes trips to Sam’s
Club and could pick items for the machine.
Ald. Soltysiak suggested bringing the machine from the Library to replace the broken
machine. Questions arose if the City owned the existing machines and could therefore
stock them with any brands. Mayor Chiaverotti stated she would need to get answers to
these questions.
Mayor Chiaverotti noted that the machines are about the same price. The lease is 48
months and the warranty is 15 months; which is standard. After the lease is up the City
would own the mahcine. Ald. Soltysiak stated he doesn’t know if having a new machine
is warranted.
Mayor Chiaverotti stated she will look into the questions that arose and bring back to the
Finance Committee.
