Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, stated that the 1992 budget provides for the purchase of an upgraded laser printer for the Administration Department. Due to the heavy volume of word-processing, -a printer with high capacity -features and upgraded memory is essential. At the present time we have one printer servicing 5 to 6 PCs. This wears out a printer very quickly. Also, with that many persons using the printer the City could be in violation of data practices if private data information is being processed and then read. The best ratio 411 is one printer to one PC.
