Title
AUTHORIZE PAYMENT FOR 28 COMPUTERS AND PERIPHERALS FOR CITY STAFF
Background
The requested action is pursuant to the Blaine City Charter section 6.05, which requires City Council approval of all purchases or contracts in excess of $20,000.
Staff is requesting approval to purchase 28 computers, 9 monitors and 9 laptop docking stations. These computers will be used to upgrade staff member’s computers that are at the end of their 5-year replacement schedule.

Funds were appropriated for this purchase in the 2019 Capital Equipment Fund Budget, and adequate funds exist to complete the purchase.
