and responsible proposer and the most recently used printer, had included all costs associated with the
printing and mailing required by Component #1. Mark reported that staff now recommends that the Park
Board accept UN's request to withdraw its offer and accept the Priority Press proposal for Component #1
2
of the Print Services and Printed Supplies RFP for an amount not to exceed $54,232, excluding postage.
After the Park Board agreed to accept UN Communications' request to withdraw its proposal, it found

G. Consideration of Resolution No. B- 2010 -013 Mark Westermeier
Mark presented the distributed resolution and explained that during the last several weeks Management
staff had been narrowing the selection of a third party payroll service provider. Yesterday, during a
meeting between Management staff, Clerk- Treasurer Diana Cordray and PayCor, the preferred provider,
details were considered, including the necessity of obtaining a separate EIN for the Park Board, setting
up a bank sweep account and the benefit payments that would be paid through the service. He next
reported that earlier today he learned during a brief conversation with Brian Bosma, the lawyer engaged
to render a legal opinion on whether the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement governing the Park Board
prohibited the outsourcing of payroll services, that it was within Diana's authority to outsource the work
but not within the Park Board's authority. Mark referred to Resolution No. B- 2010 -013 and explained
that it was intended to allow staff to expedite the process so that all steps could be in place to initiate the
service by January 1, 2011. After the Park Board waived the reading of the Resolution and entered it into
business (Ketterman, Engledow C -Un), it discussed the matter including Mark's recommendation that it
may make more fiscal sense to purchase a time clock system separate from but compatible with, the
payroll services. After much discussion, the Park Board approved the Resolution as presented.
