Phil motioned for the minutes of the January 17, 1984 meeting be
accepted and was seconded by Joyce Healey.
Eileen then reported onthe progress of the conversion. The contractors,
Mike Sipe and Tom Martineau are helping with the conversion process.
Presently the Utility Billing System, the School District and the
Borough Payroll are converted and are being tested. To follow shortly
thereafter are the almost completed Accounting and Property Tax Systems.
The training of staff was discussed. Margaret Jamison has just returned
from a System/38 System Operator training course. The question was
raised about the training of staff. An in-house program, if well
developed, would serve these purposes and Eileen was directed to
investigate with the possibility of Automated Technology Systems as the
vendor.
Brvice then reported on the process used for hiring the Data Processing
Manager and that 10 letters to perspective interviewers have been sent
out. Bryce and Joyce gave out versions of use agreements that will be
reviewed and then discussed at the next meeting.
The School District Computer study was the next item discussed. Noreen
reviewed the Plan for Phased Implementation of the Study. The hardware
time -line and RFP process were discussed. Facilities and space need to
be addressed in future meetings.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 1:05 p.m. The
next meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, March 15, 1984.
Respectfully Submitted,
Processing Steering Committee
