GETTING COPIES OF YOUR MITIGATION REPORTS

The new mitigation reports include both pages in black & white and pages in color. I did some checking to find out where we could get the best price on color copies. GOODWAY PRINTING, an old establishment located on the south side of Blue Heron Boulevard just beyond Route 1 (before the bridge) charged me 30¢ a copy, based on our getting 25 copies each of three sheets. Their normal charge is 39¢ for a single copy. This was the best rate I found for color copy reproduction. You don’t go through the best neighborhood, however, to get to Goodway.

Goodway charges 10¢ each for black & white copies, so if you get your black & whites done there, you will lose what you have saved on the color copies. The best deal I’ve found around here for black & white copies is THE UPS STORE on Haverhill, in the Publix shopping plaza just north of Roebuck (next to Dunkin’ Donut). Their usual charge is 4¢ for a black & white, although sometimes you can get them done on a special deal for 3¢ a copy. I get all my black & whites there. They are much closer than Goodway, of course, but charge (according to what they last quoted me) 49¢ per color copy.

There are other places that charge less than 49¢ for color copies. MINUTEMAN AT 2800 NO. MILITARY TRAIL (south of Community, east side) quoted me 40¢; PRINT-IT-PLUS AT 11420 OKEECHOBEE IN ROYAL PLAM BEACH (south side, east of Royal Palm Beach Blvd.) quoted me 40¢; and MINUTEMAN AT 2822 SOUTH DIXIE (at intersection Monceaux Rd, south of Belvedere, probably a questionable neighborhood) quoted me 35¢.

Two OFFICE DEPOTS (one at 2029 Okeechobee and one on Route 7 in Royal Palm Beach) quoted me 59¢ and two STAPLES (one on Okeechobee and one at Route 7 & 80, Royal Plam Beach) quoted 49¢ for color copies. PREFERRED PRINTING on Old Okeechobee, which some of you might know about, doesn’t do color copies on site.

It might well be we could strike a deal with the HAVERHILL UPS STORE to give Century Village customers a better rate than 49 cents. They have given the Village a lower rate for black & whites in the past. If so, I would suggest calling them (697-4422) just before going there to confirm the rate, because their personnel are not always kept apprised of the latest “deals.”
