I have spoken with your <br />Mr. Steve Martin about my interest in Indian River County. <br />I am presently the Systems Manager for the City of <br />Melbourne and am free to do consulting work on my, own time <br />where there is no conflict of interest with my City duties. <br />My 20 years of experience have been heavily oriented to the <br />design and implementation of financial control systems for <br />-cities and counties. Both 'in-house' and 'service -bureau' <br />approaches have been used. During the past five years <br />Melbourne has become a model for other local governments. <br />An article to this effect will be fortb.coming in -he tipril <br />issue of "The American City & County Magazine". In 1974 <br />Melbourne obtained its M.F.O.A. certificate of excellence <br />based, in part, on our financial.control system on the <br />computer. <br />My references are attached and I invite you to call <br />each one. A list of publications will be furnished on request. <br />Please call me if I may be of any immediate assistance. <br />Yours Truly,' <br />John B. Burger <br />CONSULTING, SYSTEM ENGINEER <br />COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER INFORMED THE BOARD THAT MR. BURGER WOULD <br />LIKE TO HAVE JOSEPH MATTHEWS, A PROGRAM SPECIALIST, WORK WITH HIM AS AN <br />ASSOCIATE, AND THE DATA PROCESSING STUDY COMMITTEE WOULD REQUEST A MAXIMUM <br />BUDGET OF $3,000.00 FOR THIS WORK, INCLUDING A FINAL WRITTEN REPORT.
