It has reached the point that its reliability is in question from day to day, and its features which were once vital are now obsolete. This copier is owned by the City. If the IBM is replaced, it could be either utilized by Municipal Court when that office is moved, or could be put in the next City auction. The City's needs have changed in the past several years as to what features would be desirable on a copier. For instance, drafting personnel frequently need blue print copies of a size not available for copying on the IBM or the Monroe copiers now in-house (17" x 22"). Also, it is desirable to have automatic stapling of documents on both letter - and legal-size paper. Quotes were requested for copiers which have these specifications. Only the Konica 6090 meets these specs. The three companies returning quotes were Danka Business Systems, Business Equipment of Houston, Inc., and Total Copy Systems, Inc. Danka Business Systems proposing the Konica 6090, was the low quote and the only one meeting specifications. Cost of the lease would be divided among user departments in the same manner as presently done. My recommendation is that a 60-month lease be entered into with Danka Business Systems for a Konica 6090 copier to replace the IBM copier now in use at City Hall.

Herrera City Manager DATE F AUTOVENT 3000 • The Autvvent 3000 is designed as an automatic ventilator used during CPR or respiratory arrest. This will assist the patient with breathing when he is unable to do so on his own, or needs assistance in breathing. It is a state-of-the-art piece of equipment that provides reliable, time cycled ventilations with a minimum amount of wasted oxygen. This system allows the EMS attendant free hands to i:~rvvide better patient care. This unit is completely portable and operates on the oxygen system already installed in the EMS units. The design of the unit has been based on the needs of the operator and of the patient. This unit also meets or exceeds the standards for resuscitation set by the American Heart Association (AHA). This unit features: * Highly visible controls which allow the operator to focus on the patient, * An accurate and consistent oxygen driven system enclosed in a high impact case. * Additional protection provided by shuck absorbing bumper cushions which also serve as visual indicators for the hose attachments. * Permits the patient their own respiratory effort and takes over completely when needed without missing a beat. * System designed for simple operation. * Independent controls for adult and child patients that can be adjusted quickly and monitored at a glance. * This unit may be used with standard resuscitation equipment already in use by the EMS.

Box 1115 La Porte, TX 77572-1115 Dear Mayor: Thank you for your City's support in urging the Texas Legislature and the Governor to enact specific legislation which will provide capital punishment for anyone who takes the life of a child under six years of age. As of this date, I have received responses from forty-one cities who have passed resolutions supporting this child abuse legislation, and I am very appreciative that you and many others have taken the time to consider this request. Also, I have received copies of the many letters sent to legislative representatives; and I hope our Texas Legislators will respond favorably to this request from elected officials in their jurisdictions. Again, thank you and your City representatives for these actions on behalf of the children_ Sinc rely, ,; 8 /, ,G ,~-~~,~~ Vernon Gasto Councilmember District 2 1 ~ ,~ ~%' ~ ~~ i c ~ ~~~~~
