Trustees weigh need for a color copier; clerk reports donated machine in storage

Trustees discussed whether the village needs to purchase a color copier. The clerk said a previously donated color copier had been retained and was in working condition after an earlier clerk had struggled with an older machine.

"We saved it at the last minute," the clerk said, referring to a previously purchased copier that had been nearly traded in. A proposed new color copier's list price was cited around $3,600 with a trade-in allowance of roughly $500–$600. Several trustees said the village can obtain occasional color copies at minimal cost from outside sources and recommended postponing any purchase unless demand increases substantially.

No formal purchase was authorized; trustees asked staff to continue using existing arrangements and to revisit the matter if demand for color copies grows.
