Central Services not only provides for the operation and <br /> maintenance of the City Hall facility, but also equipment and <br /> supplies such as HVAC, telephones, computers and printers, office <br /> supplies and general office costs related to municipal government <br /> operations including postage and general maintenance costs such as <br /> custodial equipment and supplies. <br /> DEPARTMENT GOALS <br /> The goal of the Department is to provide an orderly, functional and <br /> pleasant facility in which City employees work and residents and <br /> other visitors can conduct business. <br /> DEPARTMENT EXPENDITURE COMMENTS <br /> This department funds the salaries and benefits for the <br /> Receptionist, part-time Custodian, a part-time Clerk-Typist and 50% <br /> of the Assistant to the City Administrator. <br /> Capital expenditures in the 1994 Bii get for this—Department <br /> include: <br /> Central tape back-up system. A good data back-up system is <br /> one of the most important features of a computer system. This <br /> feature prevents valuable information and data from being lost <br /> or accidentally destroyed. The back-up system the City <br /> currently uses is inefficient and incomplete. It requires <br /> someone to walk around to each computer, attach a remote back- <br /> up unit and occupy that workstation during the lengthy back-up <br /> process. This system can only be used on a few select <br /> computers that have that capability. With the new system, all <br /> information would be saved directly to a tape through the file <br /> server while the user is still using the computer. <br /> Computer upgrades for improved efficiency <br />
