Date: November 27, 1984
To: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator
Attn: Tom Welch
From: S. D. Hoffman, ASO ,
Subject: Purchase of IBM PC/XT Computer
Our office presently utilizes a Commodor 64 Personal Computer to
provide management and workload data on all felony cases. We
purchased a home computer since it was inexpensive and we thought
it would meet our needs, such as they were at that time. As we
learned more about the capabilities of computer technology, our
needs became diversified and detailed; to the point where our
present computer is not able to meet our current requirements.
We are spending an exorbitant amount of time entering and
sorting data due to slowness and limited storage capacity. We
are also experiencing numerous breakdowns in the disk drive area
because of the large amount of information being sorted and have
on a couple of occasions lost data previously entered. In short,
a home computer cannot meet what are now sophisticated needs and
we reqire a computer tailored to the workplace.
At this time we cannot utilize the Law and Justice Case
Management System to provide the data we' seek since, even if
reprogrammed, the raw data for each felony case from Municipal
Court through Superior Court is not a part of the system. While
the Law and Justice System may, with reprogramming and blocks for
confidentiality, provide •the data we seek sometime in the future,
it will not be in the near future and based on our experiences
with the system to date, :it will be years before all the raw
data needed is a part of the system.
We have attached an appropriation adjustment to transfer monies
from Permanent Salaries to Fixed Assets, said monies being
available from savings incurred under the County Furlough
Program. Also attached is a listing of recommended equipment and
software from John Fallon„ Data Processing, which we intend to
follow when preparing. our requisition to Purchasing.
We ask you approve and process our Appropriation Adjustment and
also provide Purchasing with whatever approvals they require in
order to issue a purchase order.
