RE:
Additional Appropriation
I've attached the rationale for the additional appropriation of $20,000. We
have researched our options for over six months and have concluded that
our best investment is to purchase a Compaq 733.

Rationale for Server Upgrade
In January of 1997, the Clerk-Treasurer's office purchased a new
accounting hardware and software system. The server we selected
was a Hewlett Packard 166 MHz Net Server. It served our needs
well until the last quarter of 1999.
It was recommended in late summer of 1999 that some of our
accounting software be upgraded for Y2K related issues. These
upgrades were completed in October. Almost immediately, staff
recognized that the processing speed of the server had decreased
significantly. What previously had taken only 60-90 seconds to
process was now requiting eight to ten minutes.
Terry Crockett was asked to help us investigate our alternatives. Terry
determined that the configuration of our current server was the cause
of the performance problems. The server only utilized one processor
and could not be upgraded due to its age (technically speaking it was
obsolete). We reviewed several manufacturers and Terry
recommended a Compaq 733, which is the currently the newest
technology. This upgrade will enable us to maximize our efficiency
and to be proactive rather than reactive.
If you desire more detailed information, please contact Terry or
Cindy. They are our experts. I am always available as a non-expert.
