JAN 2 3 1985 BOOK 59 PAGE623 <br />Commissioner Scurlock concurred that the IBM 38 system <br />apparently is one of the best, he understood it is a very <br />sophisticated machine which requires experienced programmers from <br />a very competitive job market. He suggested that at budget time <br />we consider how many programmers are needed and at what salaries, <br />because he felt it was pretty apparent that what we are doing <br />right now is insufficient to our needs. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, that the Board <br />authorize negotiations by staff to lease <br />additional storage capacity and bring the terms <br />back to the Board for approval. <br />OMB Director Barton explained that when the Board approves <br />the lease terms, they will have to transfer sufficient funds from <br />contingency to the Office of the Clerk to pay for the lease for <br />the balance of the fiscal year. <br />Freda Wright, Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners, <br />estimated the cost to lease additional capacity at $800 monthly. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion <br />was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />Director Fry advised that they presently have two full-time <br />programmers on staff and are searching for a third. He agreed <br />that it is difficult to find experienced programmers as it is a <br />very competitive field. <br />CONSENT AGENDA <br />Commissioner Bird requested that Item C be removed from the <br />Consent Agenda for discussion. <br />0 <br />I <br />
