12 <br /> WETMORE BUILDING COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS <br /> Planning, CHIP, and divisions of the Police department are <br /> moving into new office space in the Wetmore Building. These <br /> departments currently utilize the Wang computer system in <br /> City Hall . In order to provide these departments with the <br /> same capabilities they currently have, a new computer system <br /> will need to be installed in the Wetmore Building. <br /> These departments primary activity for the computer is word <br /> processing, however the movement to the Wetmore Building will <br /> create the need for additional capability. Applicants for <br /> Business & Occupation Licenses are referred to the Planning <br /> Department to verify that the business is located within the <br /> appropriate land use. By installing this additional computer <br /> system the applicant would be able to have a response from <br /> Planning without having to go to the Wetmore Building. This <br /> could therefore reduce some of the shuffling that the <br /> citizens would be required to do. <br /> The City could also elect to provide the citizens with an <br /> additional location in which to inquire on their Utility <br /> Bills and/or Parking Violations . With some computer program <br /> modifications , the system could also be setup to allow for <br /> payments on Utility Bills , Parking Violations , L. I .D. s , Dog <br /> Licenses , and Business and Occupation Taxes . This would <br /> improve service to the public by providing more than one <br /> location in which to make payments . <br /> The proposed computer system will have adequate capacity to <br /> support the needs of these departments for several years . <br /> The proposed system will have connections for thirty-two <br /> terminals , PCs or printers with the ability to expand to <br /> ninety-six. The initial system will have two megabytes of <br /> memory which is expandable to sixteen megabytes . The <br /> proposed disk storage (290 MB) is only 13% of the maximum <br /> (2, 808 MB) configuration available. <br /> This computer system was in the initial planning for the new <br /> office space and was estimated at a cost of $30 , 000 . This <br /> original price was based on the cost of the computer system <br /> installed at Parks early in 1987 . After the finalization of <br /> the requirements , the amount required to purchase the <br /> computer system is $40 , 879 . 10 . The $11 , 000 difference can be <br /> made up from the savings realized by not moving into the <br /> building in March as originally budgeted. <br /> 53 <br />
