MOTION by Commissioner Madison to accept the original low bid
from Starrette's Office Supply in the amount of $33,206.82 and
approve Budget Amendment /13 to allow the funds to be obtained from
unappropriated fund balance.
Commissioner Boone moved to amend the MOTION by substituting
the 35 chairs from Catawba County for the 35 in the original bid
proposal.
Commissioner Johnson said that initially he had tried to save
the County some money by looking at other furniture options;
however, it appeared that the staff had researched the matter
thoroughly and he would vote for the original motion.
VOTING ON AMENDMENT: Ayes - 1 (Boone); Nays - 4.
Commissioner Boone said he wanted to go on record by stating
the County staff had indicated the Catawba chairs were good, high
quality pieces of furniture -- probably as serviceable as the new
furniture with the exception of having some of the high-tech
components. "It would have saved the total tax bill for about 20
average families."
VOTING ON ORIGINAL MOTION: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
(Commissioner Boone did not cast an audible vote.)
