November 6th, 1978 <br />Page Two <br />f. Vehicle maintenance and parts inventory system <br />g. Road and Bridge fuel cost system <br />h. Sheriff accounting package <br />We currently have three problem areas that need to be addressed: <br />Equipment; Software; and Manpower. <br />Our present Equipment is rapidly reaching a situation point. Data <br />Processing experienced a 1057 increase in machine utilization in 1976-77 <br />fiscal year, over 1975-76. The increase in the 1977-78 fiscal year, over <br />1976-77 was 4497, (see graph). As of 10-1-78 additional systems have been <br />implemented such as: Clerk's books, Clerk's payroll, child support, registry <br />of court, e.tc. which has caused an even greater saturation of equipment use <br />that was outlined in the above percentage increases. The demand for services <br />and types of service is beginning to exceed the capacity of the equipment. It is <br />my feelings that upgrading the present equipment will have to be considered <br />before we can commit ourselves to further projects. We are experiencing <br />growth and we are going to have to respond to the growth and at the same time <br />control costs. <br />In the area of Software, we will have to define our needs and assign <br />priorities to which systems will be implemented. We have two vehicles <br />available in the area of software: in house development; purchasing existing <br />packages. <br />In the area of manpower we are short of help in the area of programming. <br />This is for modifying existing programs and development and modifying new <br />programs. ° <br />O' <br />6a 37 pt.I 0 9 <br />
