Issue: We need to replace 3 of the 6 last oldest computers in our possession. A hand scanner is needed in the civil department to be more efficient. The Adobe annual license has to be renewed on a yearly basis and is used for the electronic signature feature.
Solution: Submit a budget amendment to the Governing Body that clearly lists and defines the category of expenditure.
Result: Authorize the purchase to help us continue to run an efficient day-to-day operation.
