Jerry Linke, 2319 Kno11 Drive, asked why two fax
machines wer being purchased and stated he felt
two was a pu chase over and above what could be.
Clerk/Admini trator Pauley explained one is for the
office and t e other for the Police department,
for confiden ial purposes.
Mr. Linke stated he thought the Police needed a copy
machine more than a fax, and suggested buying one
fax and put ing it in the Police department.

'strator Pauley replied the Police
oes need a copier, however, space is

indicated a desire for a fax. Usage
Hall and the Police is almost equal
wed the wage. The model fax planned
~sed is considerably smaller than a desk-
Motion/Seco d: Quick/Wuori to approve Item 1, the
purchase of two AT&T 3520 Facsimile machines from
Microfacts, Inc. at a cost of $2,238.00, to be

5 ayes (0 nays Motion Carried
Councilmemb r Quick stated he felt with only one fax
machine, th re would be a line-up of employees
waiting to se it, and an officer would have to
stand there to watch for confidential transmittals.
He added he feels the machines will pay for themselves
in the long run.
Mr. Linke questioned whether the two personal com-
puters and r Item 2 could be tied into the mainframe.
Clerk/Admi istrator Pauley replied they could be,
with the p rchase of appropriate software.
Mr. Linke tated it was his understanding that the
idea beinn the purchase of the mainframe was for
networking of the system, and he does not feel the
mainframe ~s being utilized to its utmost.

~ rk/Admini trator Pauley explained the original plan
was to put f nance and word processing on the system,
but problems were encountered with word processing,, in
that it slow d down the system,, and a decision was
made to sepa ate the word processing function from the
finance func ion, and put a stand-alone PC. He added
some program are not compatible with Texas Instru-
ments.
Mr. Linke st ted he feels the Council made a mistake
at the time f purchase of the Texas Instruments
system.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley replied they are working
on rectifyin the situation, and it was not so much a
mistake as n under estimation of usage. He pointed
out that to hnology has changed so much that to tie
into a main tame system is antiquated. PC's basically
network wit each other,. and it is planned to do
some time d wn the road; when all areas have PCs.
The two PCs planned for purchase now will network
with one la er printer.
