PR 9 1986BOOK F4.1�3 <br />Commissioner Lyons reported that it looks like we have an <br />opportunity to receive some grant funds for automation planning <br />of the County library system without matching any funds, and he <br />recommended that the Chairman be authorized to sign an agreement <br />for such a grant provided that Intergovernmental Relations <br />Director Tommy Thomas feels we could qualify and that it is <br />something we want to do. He stressed that time is of the essence <br />here, but, unfortunately, Librarian Mary Kiser, who isathe most <br />familiar with this matter, is not always in town because her <br />father is quite ill at the moment. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Wodtke, that the Board authorize the <br />Chairman to sign the application for a State grant <br />for automation planning of the County library system. <br />Commissioner Lyons noted that a Sebastian school library has <br />installed a computer system very much like a checkout counter in <br />the supermarkets, which is relatively inexpensive. He felt that <br />a is the kind of thing we would want to explore, because, in the <br />long run, we want to bring the library system on to an automated <br />basis where <br />we <br />can keep track <br />of <br />all <br />the books, what we have on <br />the shelf, <br />and <br />where they are <br />at <br />all <br />times. <br />Commissioner Wodtke hoped that whatever computer system we <br />go with would continue to be functional, and Commissioner Lyons <br />stated he would be looking for that also. <br />Chairman Scurlock suggested using the computer in the <br />Property Appraiser's office that is available if it does not cost <br />too much. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion <br />was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />59 <br />
