(200204~J7 Jeffries questioned on the way West Group is handling the contract and he wanted to know if the computer committee had seen it. He expressed concern on the fact that the board needs to make a decision now and why it has to be decided in 24 hours. Arnold stated that the county does have experience with the West Law Group and the fee schedule that they used before was expensive this revised billing is a good deal and this is important to the attorneys. Using the Internet is a time saving issue. Arnold made a motion and Eriksen seconded to approve the contract and have the computer committee and County Attorney Jerry Janulewicz review this contract and authorize the chair to sign. Jeffries questioned if the departments that use this service could take out the excess dollars that they had budgeted to lower their budgets. Logan also stated that the departments that use this service need to look at this and see if it will save money. He stated that this is a lot of money and the county board needs to look at the contract. Lancaster stated that it was good that Dave brought it forward and it is really no different that than cellular phone service. Eriksen stated that Jerry Janulewicz indicated that it would benefit him the most.
