Transfers of $230,000 from three accounts are re- <br /> quested to purchase data processing hardware and <br /> software for Town Hall and to make modifications <br /> to accommodate the equipment. The Computer Selec- <br /> tion Committee (Town Treasurer, Town Accountant, <br /> Director of Assessing, and Executive Secretary) <br /> have recommended the equipment be purchased from <br /> the Municipal and School Business Officials <br /> Cooperative Corp (The CO/OP) . The system will in- <br /> clude a Digital Equipment Corporation central <br /> processing unit, associated peripherals from vari- <br /> ous vendors and the CO/OP' s municipal applications <br /> software systems. This recommendation evolved from <br /> a process that included the preparation of speci- <br /> fications, issuance of a request for proposal, <br /> evaluation of the proposals to select five semi- <br /> finalists. The selection of the CO/OP will pro- <br /> vide the Town with a data processing system that <br /> can serve all Town Hall departments for a number <br /> of years. It has the additional benefit of being <br /> a primary school department system throughout <br /> Massachusetts so that we have the capacity to <br /> integrate our new school administration into the <br /> Town Hall system. The funds requested at this <br /> time would provide capability to bring into the <br /> system the entire operations of the Accounting, <br /> Assessing, Treasurer/Collector, Personnel, and <br /> Selectmen's Office. The Health, Inspections, and <br /> Planning departments would be included in a second <br /> phase. <br /> Article 4 : <br /> To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Board of Selectmen to <br /> enter into an intermunicipal agreement with the Towns of Falmouth <br /> and/or Sandwich for the purpose of constructing, equipping, and <br /> operating a solid waste railroad transfer station to facilitate the <br /> transfer of the Town ' s solid waste to the SEMASS Resource Recovery <br /> Plant in Rochester upon such terms as the Board of Selectmen deems <br /> advisable in accordance with Chapter 40, Section 4A, and Chapter 40D, <br /> Section 21 (g) , <br /> — 8:27 .P.M. <br /> Motion to accept as printed. . . .motion carries.: . .•. : : . . . . . . . . <br /> Approval of this article, along with articles <br /> five and six, would allow the Town to partici- <br /> pate in a regional effort to transfer solid waste <br /> by rail from the Mass.
