Huron County Connell has
approved spending about 20
per cent of the cost of a com-
puter system on studies
alene.
At its Jan. 5 meeting,
council agreed to spend up to
an additional $20,000 to have
the Toronto firm of Wands
Gordon consultants finish
the proce7 of selecting a
computer System. Council
decided at the meeting that it
will go ahead and computer-
ize three county depart-
ments.
Exeter Reeve Bill Mickle
said the county has already
spent $19,500 on a computer
feasibility study. t
"How much money are we
going to spend in consulting
fees?" asked the reeve.
The Woods Gordon firm
told the county a computer
system for Huron would cost
approximately $150,000, but
Reeve Mickle suggested it
would end up in the neigh-
borhood of $200,000 if study
fees are included.
Grey Reeve Leona Arm-
strong was one of several
councillors who spoke in fav-
or of the further computer
study.
"I think it's (computers)
in the direction we have to
go," she said. She questioned
the consultants regardirrar
et ,
the storage conditions for al,
,
computer system. ,
Woods Gordon represent",
tive Peter Ashby said all that
is needed is a three -prong
plug and an anti -static car-
pet, except for security. The
firm, he said, would recom-
mend a room with a door
which would provide limited
access to the computer.
Hensall Reeve Harry
Klungel asked if a common
computer, such as the Com-
modore 64 would be suffi-
dent for the county's needs.
Walter Benko, of the
Toronto firm, indicated it
wouldn't, because the 64
means that only 64,000 pieces
of information can be placed
in that computer.
"We're talking about a
much larger system," said
Nfr. Benko.
• The consulting firm has
suggested two options. One is
to have a central processing
area with a single computer.
The other option is to have
two smaller computers, one
in Goderich and the Other in
Huronview. Both options
would include a base compu-
ter with terminals a video
screen with a keyboard.
The WOods Gordon study
• indicates a computer is
needed in the finance and ad-
ministratien, road, and.
Huronview departments. •A
computer for the finance and
administration department
will handle general ledger,
budgets and financial re-
porting, accounts payable
and the payroll of all county
departments.
In its study, Woods Gordon.
has limited sources to five
sent.
