The meeting was called to order by Mayor Brancel at 6:37 p.m.
Present:
Mayor Brancel; Councilmembers Benson, Daugherty, Lewis and Stover;
Administrator Hurm; Planning Director Nielsen; Finance Director Rolek,
Deputy Clerk Naab, and Dave Hartley of Hartley and Associates.
Hartley opened the discussion by explaining some of the changes in the May price list from
the State contract with Ameridata. Council members questioned needs and uses explained
in the Needs Analysis document, training needs, use and disposal of existing equipment, and
the technology update recommendation. Lewis felt there is a great need to use technology
in the areas of tracking time, materials and funds expended on operations such as Public
Works functions.
After discussion, all members present felt they should go forward with upgrades to the
computer system. Mayor Brancel indicated she was in favor of implementing the entire
system in one phase, thereby avoiding some of the problems with phasing in a system.
