Approval to Purchase Point-Of-Sale System for Depot Museum
Summary
DESCRIPTION OF TOPIC: (who, what, when, where, why, and how much)
Finance - Sue Steigerwald on behalf of Bonnie Donaldson: Recommend purchase of a point of sale system for use at the Depot Museum gift shop to record the purchase and sale of inventory items. Last fiscal year, approximately 2,000 manual transactions occurred and the number is increasing each year. This system will increase productivity, especially when volunteers are used to operate the gift shop, and ensure accurate recording of items received into and sold from inventory. The cost of the POS (point of sale) system, including hardware and software, is $2,400. There is an annual tech support fee that is not budgeted in General Equipment Maintenance but can be funded by transferring this $350 from the Capital Purchase account since the system costs $800 less than budgeted.
