i <br /> Board of Possessors Meeting Page <br /> Assessina Department ' s New Budget continued <br /> supposed to be a community building- for community events , and the <br /> Town actually has a contract to this effect . . . but the <br /> restrictions placed by the school Department on the use of the <br /> building has made it virtually impossible for Leisure Services to <br /> use it! ! David Bailey expressed opinion that this ratter is now <br /> at a point where it should cone to a head soon . <br /> NEW/OLD BUSINESS <br /> . <br /> New Computer software for Assessing Department - <br /> David Bailey informed that Possessing may have the <br /> opportunity this year to purchase the new computer software he <br /> has been researching and discussing over the past several years . <br /> The salary Account should have a surplus of about $15 , 000 due to <br /> Steve being out for such a lengthy time and because a full- <br /> time employee was not hired , the part-time employee proved <br /> sufficient. Mr. Bailey further informed that it is his thought <br /> to ask at the special Town Meeting if Possessing can transfer the <br /> surplus funds to a Network Administrator' s Account in order to <br /> purchase the software and perhaps some hardware. <br /> Marcia King asked the cost of the new software . David <br /> Bailey said he has a quote of $15 ,000 . Ms . King suggested he <br /> approach the Capital committee; Mr. Bailey replied that he had <br /> not considered this avenue, but - perhaps should. He explained <br /> that the software purchase is actually a phase of the <br /> pre-approved project . . . the total revamping of the software <br /> for all of the departments this is phase 2 of the Town ' s <br /> pro ject. Short discussion. followed. <br /> David Bailey further explained that the project is <br /> unfunded . . . nobody has mentioned it should be; Patriot- had <br /> quoted $15 , 000 . . but there would have to be significant <br /> hardware upgrades to go along with this. He does not }snow i <br /> funding would be available for this through the normal upgrading <br /> of equipment in the Town. He pointed out that Vision , which used <br /> to be MMC, would love to have Possessing switch to their software. <br /> 'I t would not surprise him if Vision gave it to us . . . and if <br /> this were the case then the company could use the money for <br /> hardware upgrades and whatever sidework that has to be done. <br /> David Bailey feels that Vision will not charge more than $10 , 000 <br /> for this ; however, there still remains the question of hoer <br /> this will be paid we will have to see how this matter <br /> progresses . <br /> i <br />
