recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of a Purchase to Pinnacle Design for $2,451.00 for Lobby Podium. This is a budgeted Expense
BACKGROUND:
Purchase and installation of a podium and stool for the lobby of the Clerk/Register office for Staff to use when they are on shift to manage the lobby. Although this is a low dollar expense, Purchasing has directed this should go before the board because of the aggregate total purchase from this vendor countywide.
DISCUSSION:
This podium will be used for staff assisting customers when they come into our office for service. Currently staff stand in the lobby with our office iPad to direct customers, help them fill out forms and answer questions. Often customers miss the staff person there to assist or don’t know where to go because there is not an “official” desk just a person standing. Staff have also complained about not having a staff specific space for them to sit when working in the lobby, or a place to place the check-in iPad and other forms.

IMPACT ON BUDGET:
This is a budgeted expense of $2,451.00 from account 1010-215.00-763.000.
