Mr. Wiegert felt a majority of the cost would be absorbed by the <br /> builders and installation is simple in new developments. <br /> Mayor Wilharber asked the cost of the Radio Read unit? Mr. Wiegert said the Radio <br /> Read is $125 per unit. Buckbee asked if the city could use a Touch Read with the current <br /> system? Mr. Wiegert said yes. The Touch Read is $8,500 per hand held unit and includes <br /> star software and two days training. Wilharber asked how long is the warranty on the <br /> hand held unit? Mr. Wiegert said one year.
