TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS t
FROM: Phil Batchelor ' Contra
County AdministratorCOSta
DATE: May 9, 1985 couI Ily
SUBJECT: Contract for Systems Programming
Gary Zupan
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to execute on
behalf of the County an agreement with Gary Zupan in the amount of $59,675
for the period May 1, 1985 through June 30, 1986 for on-call, on-site sys-
tems programming assistance.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
If the recommended action is approved, it will not result in any increased
cost to Data Processing as vacant position salaries are being used to fund
this contract.
III. REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION AND BACKGROUND:
Currently Data Processing has four positions assigned to provide systems
programming services to the County's central computer systems. These
positions are responsible for selecting, developing and maintaining the
complex systems controls and specialized software that support teleprocess-
ing systems, distributed systems and database systems used by County depart-
ments. Two of the four positions are filled and recruiting is underway to
fill the remaining positions. Past recruiting efforts have not been very
successful because our salaries are low compared to other systems programming
positions in the Bay Area. To provide support we have no option at this time
but to use a contractor to provide the needed systems programming support until
our vacant positions are filled.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the request is not approved, Data Processing will lose the support of a
highly qualified systems programmer who has helped keep central data
processing operational. Our current staff cannot keep up with the current
workload without the assistance of the contractor.
