MEMORANDUM <br />T0: Board of County Commissioners <br />FROM Jeffrey K. Barton, Finance Director <br />DATE: May 12, 1983 <br />SUBJECT: Request for Joint Workshop Between Board of County <br />Commissioners and Constitutional Offices as to Long <br />and Short Range Goals on Data Processing Operations <br />At this point, all Constitutional offices.in Indian River <br />County are using the County computer system (IBM - System 38) for <br />some type of application or another. <br />I recommend that now is the time for these users to sit down <br />and discuss some short, intermediate and long-range goals, along <br />with future applications. A general discussion should include <br />how its future goals and operations should be governed and <br />funded. <br />I recommend that a workshop be set up to include the Board <br />of County Commissioners and all Constitutional offices in the <br />County. <br />Mr. Barton discussed the growth of the data processing <br />operation and the fact that they have over the years gone to <br />a new computer system which all the Constitutional Officers <br />are utilizing in one way or another. He felt strongly that <br />it is time to have a workshop to consider where data <br />processing belongs in the organizational chart and work out <br />some kind of an agreement re funding, etc. <br />Commissioner Scurlock agreed this is very much needed <br />especially since he felt that some moves have been made <br />buying equipment that could have been averted. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, to authorize <br />staff to set up a workshop re goals on <br />Data Processing operations and to contact <br />Constitutional Officers to participate. <br />Discussion ensued re a convenient date for all, and the <br />Administrator emphasized that we need to move expeditiously. <br />MAY 18 1983 84 a�K 53 PAGE 563 <br />
