Honorable James Arakaki, Council Chairman

Dear Chairman Arakaki:
Subject: Microfilm Reader Printer
We would appreciate your review and approval of our request to transfer 510,000
from the County Clerk's Office, Election Division Printing Account
#010 107-5107.02-106 to Office Equipment Account #010 107-5107.02-450 for
purchase of a new microfilm reader printer.
The microfilm reader printer is the Election Division's means of viewing and
copying all election documents which have been microfilmed in past elections.
Some documents date back to the 1920's and is heavily used during election years
for verifications.
During the 1996 elections, we experienced mechanical and servicing problems with
our existing reader printer. The current reader printer is approximately 12 years old
and the vendor from whom the machine was originally purchased no longer
services or repairs this machine. Further, the warranty on the machine expired
several years ago.
We have also found that the reader has damaged some of the older films.
The transfer of funds will enable us to purchase a newer machine from a vendor
who does servicing on the Big Island, has an automatic speed feature, produces a
superior copy, viewing enhancements and eliminate the problem of film damage.
I am also requesting a waiver from a Council Finance Committee reading to meet
year end fiscal and purchasing deadlines.
Thank you for your consideration.
