Don Hylton, Admin.` Assistant to Clerk of the Courts, <br />explained that they have exhausted all inlets for computer hookup <br />from the Administration Building to the Courthouse Annex. At the <br />present time there'are 5 cables running between the two <br />buildings. After considering other transmission methods, they <br />are recommending that we purchase computer cabling from Cord <br />Cable Company of Rochester, Minnesota, in the amount of $4231.69, <br />and contract with David N. Myers, D.N.M. Cable Contractors, Inc., <br />in the amount of $2,000 for installation of the cable. <br />Chairman Lyons felt certain that we will need another <br />courtroom in the future and asked if this cable would have enough <br />spare capacity to handle the additional load. <br />Mr. Hylton advised that capacity would be sufficient for 2-3 <br />years, depending on how the courthouse is expanded. This money <br />was not included in their capital budget and would have to come <br />out of contingencies. <br />Commissioner Wodtke, Chairman of the Data Processing <br />Committee, advised that the Committee expects to receive the <br />consultant's report within 2 or 3 weeks, and asked if Mr. Hylton <br />has.had the opportunity to work with the consultant on whether <br />these dollars should be incorporated into whatever our final data <br />processing needs and plan might be. <br />Mr. Hylton explained he has talked with the consultant on <br />only one occasion, but the only way these cables would not be of <br />value would be if the entire program was scrapped. He did not <br />anticipate that would happen as it would involve a tremendous <br />amount of money. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously approved <br />the following budget transfer for the purchase of <br />computer cabling :from the Administration Building <br />to the Courthouse and the Courthouse Annex. <br />17 <br />O V2 1985 - BOOK 62 FAcE x:39 <br />
