The presentation is in the agenda. This short-term plan is through June, 1998. It will bring all computer systems up to a base level before starting with replacement due to life cycles. Commissioner Gordon said that if the County plans to hire someone with network expertise, that it needs to be done as soon as possible. She asked if this person needs to be hired before they expend any of the $182,000. Commissioner Brown asked about the new personal computers that the Department of Social Services have received and IS Director Dick Taylor said that they have received about 40 new computers. They will have 75 employees in the new Southern Human Services Center who will need computers. John Link said that he would like to take the suggestion of hiring someone with network expertise under advisement and ask the Advisory Committee to respond to this question and others. It was the consensus of the County Commissioners to call this committee the Information Technology Advisory Committee. Commissioner Halkiotis said that he is uncomfortable and uncertain about this plan. He also has a problem with the cost of this plan. He would like additional information before making a decision. Commissioner Brown agreed with this. It was decided that this item would be brought back on December 16 for further discussion.
