The seven member Guthrie city council members approved to lease-purchase thirty desktop computers, laptops and monitors. The lease-purchase with Dell Financial Services comes at an interest rate of 1.75 percent for three years in the amount of $29,352.21.
The City states they currently maintain approximately 75 computers. The current fleet ranges between eight and 10 years of age. Due to previous budget constraints, the replacement of individual computers was put on hold or only replaced when no longer working.
City officials go on to say in an effort to establish a rotating schedule and replace as many computers as possible at a reasonable cost, Dell’s Government Leasing Program offers the best value and accomplishes both quantity and quality.
The lease-purchase agreement will allow the city to maintain a six year rotating schedule by purchasing every 3 years with a $1 buyout at the end of each lease. The yearly lease payment is $9,784.07.
