2.10. Fixed Asset Purchase Voided
Recommend
acknowledgement of the cancellation of
KEDCs purchase of a Multimedia Communication System (MCS) from Nortel. The MCS had been purchased in addition to our
phone system to give KEDC in-house phone and video conferencing
capabilities. The system never worked as
expected and Nortel could not overcome the problems with the system. Nortel was notified to remove the system and
cancel the purchase. The check written
for payment had not been issued. The
check has been voided and the $72,763.92 returned to cash with the fixed asset
account being credited by the same amount.
KEDC
staff have since researched and selected Microsoft Live Meeting and Verizon to
meet our needs for phone and video conferencing. More information about this capability will
be shared as the systems are rolled out within KEDC.
