Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jima LaValle <br />Mali Anderson <br />Rick Montour <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />As you know, we provide for the purchase of a couple computers and related software in each year's <br />capital improvement budget. We made 2002's purchases earlier this year. Since then, we began <br />experiencing problems with our server. We were running out of space on the hard drive and it was <br />becoming an on -going maintenance problem. As a result, I directed our staff to purchase a new server as <br />well as one additional computer for the office staff. The cost of the server was $5,739.31. The cost for <br />the new workstation was $1,565.67. The total cost is $7,304.98. It was my opinion we could not wait for <br />the 2003 budget cycle to make this purchase. (It should be noted the old server and work station are <br />rotated to other users with less system demands and we then phase out the oldest equipment. <br />My recommendation is to amend the 2002 General Capital Improvement Budget (Fund 400) to authorize <br />these purchases with the understanding there will be no computer purchases in the 2003 budget. <br />
