Nault, Finance Dire~ Appropriation Request via Bill Huston, City Manager RECOMMENDED ACTION Authorize the Finance Director to solicit bids for the purchase of three (3) CRTs for use with the Water Utility Management System and appropriate $7,000 from the unappropriated reserves of the Water Fund for their purchase. DISCUSSION The building modifications currently underway in the Finance Department will facilitate the incorporation of the Utility Management System, water utility billing, on the City's Hewlett Packard 3000 computer. At the present time we are operating the financial systems with the aid of two (2) HP 2640-A CRTs. The addition of the water billing function necessitates an increase of three (3) CRTs to provide ade- quate input/output facilitation, as well as to take advantage of the data base inquiry capabilities of the system. It is estimated that this addition in input/output capabilities will accommodate projected expansion of the service area as w~ll as providing sufficient backup to the existing capabilities of the Financial Management Systems.
