RE: NEW PHONE SYSTEM APPROVED TOPIC: (20,79,,,PHONE SYSTEM) The mayor gave the council a handout explaining proposals for a phone system for the city explaining bids with the breakdown of the differences that Richard had prepared. One of the bids for the net annual cost is around $400 because we now have ten lines and if we get a new system that will transfer calls back and forth we can get by with five phone lines instead of ten. The amount saved is $1764 a year and the savings on that will pay for the new phone system. Richard had a preference for E.C.S.I. The mayor felt we needed to keep it user friendly.
