City Council Approves New Copiers, Reapproves Building Purchase Agreement

The Oak Forest police and the city's building departments both are receiving new printers and copiers, while the City Council finalized the purchase of an apartment building at 15659 S. Lamon Ave., approving both moves by 4-0 votes at its Tuesday, March 26 meeting.

READ:

Three copiers will be leased by the city from Proven Business Systems as part of a five-year agreement. Two combination printer-copier-scanner units will be used by the police department, while the third will be in the Building Department. The city will pay $418.00 per month for the three machines.

The council also finalized an agreement to purchase the apartment building at 15659 S. Lamon Avenue, which was previously approved by the city council. The agreement was approved after the seller of the building wanted minor changes to a previously approved agreement.

A representative for the city's legal counsel said the new agreement includes the city purchasing the building "as-is," which was the major change. He added that the leases in the building will be honored until they expire, at which time they will not be renewed.

The new agreement does not change the purchase price of the building.
