Meeting Date:	07/13/2015
Central Store
Submitted for:	Leticia Gutierrez	Submitted By:	Leticia Gutierrez
Department:	Purchasing

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the closing of the Central Store at an estimated savings of $20,000 currently used for office supplies inventory; closure would begin July 14, 2015 and would be complete at the end of the fiscal year.

Issue: There is a diminished need for Webb County to have an inventory of office supplies. Departments have budgeted line items for these purchases and most supplies purchased are delivered within 24 hours. Oftentimes inventory will become old or outdated and becomes a loss to Webb County. The space occupied by the inventory is better used for temporary locked storage of delivered items.

Solution: Closing the Central Store will provide a savings to Webb County at a time when budgets are tight.

Result: Webb County will have better use of the physical space used by the Central Store and the savings will allow for better use of the funds tied up in inventory.
