Staff feels that it doesn't make sense to invest significant money in a <br />system that is obsolete and is not "year 2000 compliant". Before staff can recommend how to <br />upgrade the current computer software, we need a better understanding of what we currently <br />have and also what we will need in the next three to five years. Since no one on staff has the <br />expertise to do this type of analysis, we are requesting authorization to enter into a contract with <br />CompuCom, a firm recommended by a neighboring city, to conduct an audit of our current <br /> <br />Finance Committee/April 28, 1998 <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
