A fourth staff position was added in the third year. Other county department heads committed themselves and their staff to work very closely with the data processing personnel in selecting or designing actual software to be used in their day-to-day operations. The decision was made to go with state-of-the-art, on-line, integrated systems and equipment. All systems had one primary goal, they had to be usable on a day-by-day basis and had to assist in the day-to-day functions of the user department in storing and maintaining the data used on a daily basis. The county budgeted $50,000 in 1977-78 and from $160,000 to $225,000 per year in subsequent years. The data COSTS: processing budget is less than one percent of the total county budget. Approximately $95,000 was received from BUD in 1979-80 in a grant to improve land records in the county • and $3,000 to $6,000 has been received each subsequent year - from the North Carolina land records program.
