Bou d r6 Fr9�L 1p� <br />�`��Y 1999 <br />Commissioner Bird commented that he is not denying the need <br />for a computer for the OMB office, but he did hope that the <br />Administrator can get a good handle on assessing the need for all <br />of these computers and see if we possibly can free up any <br />computers for sharing in some way. <br />Administrator Chandler informed the Board that he has looked <br />at this request, and with the workload they have and their use, <br />there is no question that there is a need in this particular area <br />at this time. He did agree, however, that there is a need for an <br />overall coordinated approach on data processing so we can get on <br />a more cost effective basis. <br />Commissioner Scurlock commented that actually as you look <br />into this situation, you will find that most of the typewriters <br />in the county.have been replaced with small computers and <br />printers. He felt that at some point, however, there should be <br />some sort of central pool concept where we can fully utilize our <br />computers because not every computer is in use all the time every <br />day. He noted that right this year with the dollars we have <br />approved for computers for the Property Appraiser, the Sheriff, <br />the Supervisor of Elections, plus the funds in Utilities budget <br />and the $350,000 we recently agreed to set aside, we are seeing <br />requests in the range of $500,000. <br />It was suggested that this discussion be continued under the <br />next item, which is the Clerk's request for a computer. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commis- <br />sioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved Budget <br />Amendment #074 transferring $6,700 from General <br />Fund Contingency as requested by the OMB Director. <br />10 <br />W <br />
