Drawer 4401 <br />Fort Pierce, Florida 33450 <br />Telephone (305) 465.3000 <br />Re: Automated Office System <br />Let me take this OPPOttunity to thank you and the Board of <br />County Commissioners for your support of this office during this <br />year of severe state budget cutbacks. <br />I have endeavored to manage this office within the budget <br />limitations by reducing expenditures and not replacing employees <br />who have resigned. However, due to a unique situation, I must <br />at this time request your assistance on a project that is of <br />vital importance to the criminal justice system in this circuit. <br />The Florida Prosecuting Attorneys Association PROMIS Project <br />is providing the 19th Judicial Circuit with a Burroughs B1955 <br />main frame computer and four word processors, which are required <br />to implement an automated office system within the circuit. The <br />cost of this equipment, if borne by the'circuit, would amount to <br />(in excess of) $230,000, an impossibility -due to current budgetary <br />limitations. <br />I have worked to obtain this grant for four years and was <br />recently awarded this equipment, provided that the counties fur- <br />nish both adequate office space and suitable site preparation <br />for this project. <br />The main frame computer will be located in our St. Lucie <br />County main office, with terminals and other equipment being <br />located in -each of the other three county offices. This system <br />will be utilized throughout the four -county circuit and will <br />Provide both timely and essential information to us, as well as <br />all other agencies connected with the criminal justice system. <br />Site preparation and equipment necessary to install this <br />computer will be $32,000, which St. Lucie County Commissioners <br />have agreed to expend, provided that the other counties will <br />pick up their pro -rated share, since this system is to be used <br />by all the counties. <br />Pro—rated Amount <br />St. Lucie 38% $12,160 <br />Martin 27% 8,640 <br />'Indian River 26% 8,320 <br />Okeechobee 9% 2,880 <br />$32,000 <br />Therefore,I am requesting that you consider expending the <br />funds necessary for the implementation of this automated office <br />system, <br />Very�truly yours <br />Robert E. Stone <br />State Attorney <br />56 <br />
