Norman Acting Finance Officer Diana Lund CALL TO ORDER Councilmember Beahen called the regular meeting of the Finance Committee to order at 6:05 p.m. CITIZEN INPUT None CONSENT AGENDA None APPROVE AGENDA Consensus was to approve the agenda as presented. COMMITTEE BUSINESS Case #1: Authorize Contract with CompuCom to Perform Audit of Computer System City Administrator Norman stated that when the Administrative Services Manager tried to locate computer training for two of the City's employees, it was learned that the software used by the City is nearly obsolete. Staff feels that it doesn't make sense to invest significant money in a system that is obsolete and is not "year 2000 compliant". Before staff can recommend how to upgrade the current computer software, we need a better understanding of what we currently have and also what we will need in the next three to five years. Since no one on staff has the expertise to do this type of analysis, we are requesting authorization to enter into a contract with CompuCom, a finn recommended by a neighboring city, to conduct an audit of our current Finance Committee/April 28, 1998 Page 1 of 2
