BALCZUN <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />THRU: TERRANCE G. PINTO <br />DIRECTOR OF UTILRVICES <br />FROM: JEFFREY K. BARTON <br />ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />DATE: FEBRUARY 9, 1988 <br />SUBJECT: DATA PROCESSING SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE NEEDS <br />DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />BACKGROUND <br />Indian River County Utilities has experienced tremendous growth over <br />the last few years and, as we expand with the many projects under way, <br />we need to look at our financial, accounting, and data processing <br />services. <br />The County's auditing firm, Coopers and Lybrand, Certified Public <br />Accountants, were asked for proposals to define the needs of the <br />Department of Utility Services. Attached are the proposals from <br />Coopers and Lybrand. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The proposals from Coopers and Lybrand are to cover two areas of <br />concern for future needs of Utilities: <br />1. Customer billing and information system <br />2. Financial Projection System <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Department of Utility Services recommends to the Board of County <br />Commissioners to approve the two proposals for services from Coopers & <br />Lybrands with funding from the Utilities budgeted line items for water <br />and sewer - Other Contracted Services: 471-218-536-033.49 and <br />471-219-536-033.49. <br />Chairman Scurlock advised that he reconfirmed with Coopers & <br />Lybrand that we have 80 hours available to the county that we may <br />want to make use of as a part of this negotiation, and Director <br />Pinto agreed he would like to be able to take advantage •, of that. <br />Director Pinto believed the Commissioners all should be <br />aware of the growth that is taking place in the Utilities <br />Department. It is growing to such an extent that they need <br />professionals to come in and take a look at their future needs. <br />66 <br />
