Hullett debates purchase
of accounting system
BY USA BOONSTOPPEL
Despite lengthy debate, Hullett
Council couldn’t decide whether or
not to purchase an accounting
system for the Hullett Township
office at its regular meeting on
July 6.
Council was debating the pros
and cons of the BacPac system, an
accounting system which includes a
one-write bookkeeping system. Its
advantages are that it eliminates
several steps to issuing cheques
which would save time and it would
provide better financial information
to council. However, the system
costs around $30,000.
Reeve Tom Cunningham was in
favour of the system. “I don’t think
the system we have in the office is
sufficient to keep us informed and
we’re not doing our job properly
until we know where we stand,” he
said.
Beverly Shaddick said that the
system presently being used in the
office isn’t good. She said the
BacPac system would help in
reporting financial reports to coun
cil.
But Gibson said “We’re (Hullett
township) not big enough for a
$30,000 system.” He also said that
he thought the office didn’t have
that many cheques and he added,
“we have two people working here
every day.”
Another concern was that the
system would be outdated before
council received it. “The way
they’re coming out with equip
ment, it’s almost obsolete by the
time you get it, said Ron Gross, “of
course you can’t keep waiting and
waiting for the ultimate.”
The debate ended when council
decided to have Bill Vodden, who
presented the information about
the BacPac system to council,
investigate and report to council a
suitable system to prepare an
updated accounting method.
In other council news Neil Sal-
verda, the recreation director in
formed council that the trophy case
was in the Londesboro Hall.
