II '..l <br />Lancaster stated that the computer department has built in replacement costs for the <br />computers in the annual budget. Arnold stated that it is hard to understand how <br />something that we did not need five years ago can be a million-dollar budget. With the <br />computer the county is doing a better job they used to have paper files now they use the <br />computer. <br /> <br />Mr. Bennett asked if the board would like regular updates and they said they would. The <br />computer committee will suggest when the updates should be done. The committee has <br />been looking at hiring someone to work for the county and what they are proposing <br />today is to amend the existing contract with ABACUS and use one person from <br />ABACUS to work 8 hours a day five days a week for the county's computer needs. This <br />person would be employed by ABACUS and could be located in the server room. The <br />county would be billed a flat fee of $25.00 an hour for the services in stead of $50.00. <br />This would save money. <br /> <br />Humiston made a motion and Rye seconded to allow one person from ABACUS to work <br />8 hours a day 5 days a week for a flat fee of $25.00 an hour. This should save about <br />$52,000.00 a year. <br /> <br />Jeffries stated that the county hired an engineer for the same amount of money and now <br />a person for the computers. Lancaster stated that this would save $50,000.00 a year. <br /> <br />The vote on the motion was taken.
