The committee listened to a presentation from Mary and Larry regazding the present computer system
and the status of Y2K conversion. The current system has been experiencing several problems since
the conversion began, and Mary expressed concerns that the process is behind schedule. Both she and
Larry recommended to the committee that it would be better to go to a new system before the end of
the yeaz rather than take a chance that the current system will be Y2K compliant by January 15~. After
much discussion and questioning on how to fund anew system, Ken motioned to prepare
specifications, and send out requests for bids for a new computer system. The motion was seconded
by Gay and passed unanimously.
The committee reviewed the updated budget figures and identified funds that need fiirther review.
Department heads will be asked to provide a priority list to assist the committee in trimming the budget
to bring it into balance.
