Board of Assessors Meeting Page <br /> Assessin De artment ' s Corn titer System continued <br /> explained that Patriot stopped making major enhancments to Its <br /> previous system three years ago because the Company was writing <br /> j Its new system for tlindows 95 which was supposed -to be out 2h <br /> years ago. However, Patriot got bogged down with Microsoft, the <br /> company that gave computer people what they would basically need <br /> to write programs for Windows 95 • . . but Micro o t never came <br /> out with the software. That version has just been released; it <br /> has been installed in New Bedford and a few other towns ; it is <br /> quite expensive at present. The cost for Mashpiee would be about <br /> $20 , 000 to buy the software; then, all of the hardware would have <br /> to be enhanced also. The total cost would be about $35 ,000 to <br /> $40 , 000 to switch over to Patriot ' s new system. <br /> j Nice Chairman Greigexpressed opini <br /> on that the cost to <br /> switch to Patriot ' s new system written for Windows 95 may be <br /> j well worth the expense . . . doing a revaluation would be so <br /> much easier . David Bal ley expressed agreement- he stated that he <br /> feels the cost of this system will be much cheaper six months <br /> from now. Discussion followed. Mr . Bailey ' s hope was that <br /> Assessing could stitch to a new system this year; it still may <br /> happen when the departments move is rade to the new building. <br /> Leslie Greig made comment that Patriot ' s new system would be <br /> j marvelous in the Assessing Department. David Bailey expressed <br /> j <br /> agreement; he made comment that it is "State of the Art" ; it is <br /> probably the most advanced assessment system in the country. He <br /> plans to visit New Bedford ' s Assessing Department soon ' to see how <br /> well the new system is working there. <br /> David Bailey informed Board Members that he will tape <br /> theme on a tour of the Internet some morning soon, if they wish. <br /> Be would like to show them how the Assessing Office of a county <br /> in Florida, the one he previously spoke about, is working with <br /> Its information on the Internet, <br /> ADJOURNMENT: <br /> Where being. no further business before The Board for <br /> discussion, Leslie Cried rade motion The Board adjourn the <br /> meeting - Kenneth Porter made second the motion;; motion passed- <br /> unanimous <br /> ayssedunanimous decision .
