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.
