z Additionally, County staff are proceeding with the plan to acquire a second RISC 6000 mainframe computer to assist in testing and verification of the County's mainframe software applications for YX compliance. The cost of the equipment, licensing agreements, and necessary first year technical support is expected not to exceed $15,000. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of these two contracts and the second mainframe computer will not exceed $61,000. While this funding could come from the Commissioners' contingency account, there are adequate unencumbered funds in the Information Systems operating budget and the Information Technology capital project to cover the costs of these Y2K preparation activities. However, as additional Y2K needs are identified (for example, the recruitment of a contracted Y2K Coordinator, as endorsed by the Board at the February 15, 1999 work session), consideration must be given to funding these needs through the contingency account or unappropriated fund balance in the General Fund. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the contracts (with funding to come from the current IS operating budget and IT capital project), subject to final review by the County Attorney, and authorize the Chair to sign them.
