CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE
� MINNESOTA
To: Honorable Mayor Myron Bailey and
Cottage Grove City Councilmembers
From: MIS Coordinator Jenny Jennings
Date: 4/25/2013
Subject: Neopost Mail Machine Fixed Asset Deletion
Introduction
The City's Neopost mailing machine was upgraded in early April, leaving us with an unused
older mailing machine. Staff would like to attempt to sell it on eBay or recycle it if it doesn't
sell.
Background
A new mailing machine was installed in early April to replace a machine with increasingly
expensive maintenance fees and regular mechanical problems. The old mailing machine
would have some value for parts or accessories, or some agency may be willing to overlook its
idiosyncrasies, so staff would like to try to sell it on eBay before simply recycling it. It was
originally purchased in November 2005 for $10,355. Similar (working) units are listed on eBay
for $70 - $2,500.
Recommendation
Request Council authorize the sale of the Neopost mailing machine, asset number 3083, on
eBay, or recycling if the machine doesn't sell.
