posited to the Transit Authority which leaves an increase of
$47 ,039.81. The income of the City, at this time, is $48,489 . 29
above last.
Finance Committee Report
A review of each individual activity at the time various
budgets are in the state of preparation raises questions about
practices and procedures used.
As Chairman of the Finance Committee, I received a request
from Mr. Abernathy, our Fiscal Officer, on February 27 , for per-
mission from the Finance Committee to give authority for study to
be made by various data processing equipment companies . This survey
would be undertaken at no cost or obligation to the City.
As a result of subsequent conferences it has been decided that
the primary purpose of this survey is for the purpose of updating
our administrative record keeping systems with the use of automatic
data processing machines if such are feasible. This study by in-
terested companies will include:
1) A complete evaluation of our present operations
2) How our operations could be improved and the Advantages
of such improvements
3) Type of equipment needed and the cost for its installation
by:
a) Actual purchase
b) Lease purchase agreement
c) Strictly lease agreement
4) The flexibility of the equipment to conform with future
growth of our operations and
S) The time involved in setting the new system into operation.
At the present time we have 36 Departments and/or funds which
must be balanced each month. Approximately 900 checks are hand-
written and hand posted each month. Both Journals and Ledgers are
hand posted, Our City Collector' s office has a tremendous work load
caused by increased population, automobiles and various licensing
ordinances . Our present operations do not permit the cross check
of sources of information which are available in enforcing various
ordinances pertaining to licensing of automobiles .
This request should not be misconstrued as intended to reduce
personnel but to the contrary it is solely intended to determine
if by mechanization we can put to better use the skills and cap-
abilities of our employees by reducing present time-consuming
menial tasks and allowing more time for services and duties which
might be more important to Governmental operation.
It is my understanding that this study will cover a six month
period and will require the co-operation of all departments of City
Government and in particular the various heads of departments. If
the City should desire to follow the recommendations made by these
various companies it is to be understood that all interested parties
Regular Council Meeting, March 6, 1967
will be given the right to make proposals along with their cost
estimates prior to the sward of a contract.
We, therefore, move the adoption of this report.
Is/ Larry Haake
Chairman, Finance Committee
Councilman Haake moved the adoption of the report.
The motion passed.
Street The following report of the Street Committee was presented to the
Committee Council:
Report. Street Committee Meeting
7:P.M. , March 6, 1967
Present: Chairman Montie Willcoxon, Edward Kliegel, John Riner,
Omer Stone, Director of Public Works Edwin Rackers and
Councilman Robert Debo.
Also present were Mr. Robert Dallmeyer and Omer Kelpe of the Dr.
Pepper - Seven-up Bottling Co.
Items discussed:
1) The drainage ditch on Southwest Blvd. in the Westwood
Subdivision.
After considerable discussion, the Committee recommended
that the pipe be installed at a cost to the property
owners of $4.00 per foot, subject to the property
owners granting an easement for the storm sewer and the
existing sanitary sewer. The money will have to be
placed in escrow prior to action being taken by the
City.
2) Reconsideration of the previous request of Mr. Bob
Dallmeyer to vacate part of the 20' east-west alley
south of Highway 50 West between Delaware and Ohio Sts.
in turn for dedicating a 15 ' north-south alley from
Highway 50 West south to the existing east-west alley.
The previous recommendation of the Committee was to
exchange 20' for 20 ' . After a presentation and dis-
cussion by Mr. Dallmeyer, Lhe Committee considered the
possibility of 15 ' being dedicated by Mr. Dallmeyer
and the additional 5 ' being dedicated by the adjourning
porperty owner.
Mr. Dallmeyer was instructed to contact the adjourning
porperty owner and report back to the Committee.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Montie Willcoxon
