structing an addition.to their existing trailer park,

A report was submitted, per request of Council, as to
the possible effect upon budget appropriations in the
event Data Processing is discontinued. A letter was
submitted by `he City Clerk, with adjustments to the
budget from the Accounting Department showing that, if
Data Processing were discontinued, there would have to be
a request immediately for one accounting machine and, in
the next two years, a request for a second accounting
machine.
The City Administrator reported that, in order to give
a true report of Data Processing in City Departments
now and in the future, a meeting with Department Heads
was held on 6/13/69, and the Department Heads will give
their reports verbally.
The City Clerk gave a summary of his letter dated
6/13/69.
In response to request of the Council for information re-
garding the possible effect upon budget appropriations in
the event
Data Processing is discontinued, the following
Department Heads made reports on this matter:
(1)
The City Clerk objected to the basis set
forth by Council for judging the effective-
ness and economy of Data Processing.
(2)
The Police Chief indicated that it would
'
not reduce present personnel; however, it
would provide him with a baht survey which
he estimates would otherwise cost him
$3,000, as well as prepare and keep up-to-
date reports for the I.C.C. and the F.B.I.
and make statistical record keeping easier.
(3)
The Director of Public Works reported he
already has an engineering costing program
which he presently uses to keep engineering
job costs on a proper balance. He is look-
ing forward to Public Works job cost accounting
and for garage vehicle service control. He
did indicate that this would not reduce per-
sonnel in the Public Works Department.
(4)
The Director of Utilities presented the
Council with the estimation of costs in-
volved were he to convert back to the
manual system of billing. The cost of
conversion for this year would be almost
identical to the cost of Data Processing
operation for his department, if not a
little more. Beyond the conversion costs
within the next year or so, there would be
additional costs for manual machinery,i.e.,
addressograph, NCR billing machine, etc.,
which would have tO hP purchased to replace
the worn-out and obsolete machinery presently
in the Light and Water Office.
(5) The City Administrator reviewed the history
of the decisions involved in adopting Data
Processing and pointed out that at no time
was it stated that Data Processing would not
cost the City money initially; that the system,
it had been agreed, needed at least two years

of full operation before its benefits could be felt
economically within the City.
The City Clerk presented a communication from the Plan-
ning Commission, signed by its members, emphasizing that
the General Plan for the City has been out -dated, being
over eight years old, and that the City would have to
up -date this General Plan. The Planning Department would
like to place a land use program on the computer, that
this program would be prepared for the City, at no cost,
by an engineering firm, and that this would become an on-
going updating of the General Plan.
After discussion, it was
