.DEC 7 1983 <br />BOOK 55 PACE5,91 <br />Dr. Hardin noted that we have increased the trunk lines <br />by 83 extensions. He continued that within the last week, <br />staff has made their own survey of the phone system and have <br />come up with a total count of 1,617 incoming calls on a <br />Monday with about 1,530 outgoing; this does not include <br />transfer calls. With the breakup of the Bell System, it is <br />necessary to ask the Board to approve an agreement before <br />the company will even talk to us about putting on <br />extensions, and staff feels another five trunks are needed. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked about private systems since <br />apparently we are in a competitive marketplace again. <br />The Administrator pointed out that our present contract <br />is under a lease/purchase agreement and we have a service <br />agreement. <br />Commissioner Lyons explained that it is necessary to <br />add equipment to accommodate the additional trunks and since <br />the telephone company is no longer in that part of the <br />business, we have to have an agreement with AT&T. This <br />apparently will involve a one time charge of about $606.00 <br />and a monthly charge of about $100.00. Commissioner Lyons <br />agreed that when we get to the end of our contract on the <br />switchboard, we probably should take another look around the <br />marketp]ace, but in the meantime, we need an agreement with <br />AT&T to provide service. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Scurlock, to adopt Resolution <br />83-121 authorizing execution of a Master Service/ <br />Purchase Agreement between the County and AT&T <br />Information systems, Inc. <br />Chairman Bird asked on what basis it was determined <br />that an additional five trunk lines will satisfy the <br />problem. <br />92 <br />
