Consider and Act upon authorizing the purchase of a new financial computer system from INCODE,INC. • Staff Comments Mr. Brady Snellgrove addressed the Council stating that the City purchased its current computer system from CPS Systems(CPS)in August of 1992 for a total cost of$81,360.00.The system purchased from CPS consisted of various financial software modules,hardware and a cabling network only for use in the Finance Department. CPS went bankrupt in 2001•and United Systems Technology, Inc. now services their software. Incode is located in Lubbock, Tx. and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tyler Technologies, Inc. Incode was founded in 1981 and began specializing in software and services for local governments in 1984. Their software is widely used by cities from a population of 2,000 to 100,000. Incode specializes in being the high quality vendor in the market for cities in the 5,000 to 50,000 population range. The major difference between the old finance system and the new system is that all city departments will have on line access to reports, initiate purchasing requisitions, submit time sheets and many other services. He stated that the system cost was $177,535.and annual maintenance would run$20,634,which is in the proposed 2003-2004 budget. Council Discussion Councilman Trout asked how much the current annual maintenance was on the existing unit. Mr. Snellgrove stated that it ran around $12,000 per year but that was for the Finance Department only. There will be a lot more modules to serve with the new system and every department will have access to their information. Councilman Trout asked about the security of the-system. Mr. Johnson asked the representative present from Incode to address that question. Consultant/Representative Comments Patrick Boswick, local representative of Incode, Inc. addressed the council. He stated that the system was devised to handle security on several levels: can they modify existing records, can they add brand new records into the system, can'they delete existing records from the system. He stated that all the user's rights and privileges basically filtered in these ways. Mr. Johnson asked about the fire walls. Mr. Boswick stated it would be a function of the server itself. He stated it was not in his realm of expertise but the security within the City's hardware would be the front line of defense for that. Council Action A motion was made by Councilman Worley, seconded by Councilman Trout to authorize the purchase of a new financial computer system from Incode,Inc. A vote was taken and passed 4-0. ...................................................:•::.:.:•:::v::::::::::::::::.4:::::::::w:::::::iii:'vii::i:.i:•i}:::::w:::::::::::::x::::•::v:::::v:::v::vi:i iii::}:iij::S�iiii:C:ii'riiii::i::is}i?ii:v?i...:...:::::.:.......:.::v::::ii:viii}i:iiY: • 1999 Bond Project Update • Sign Regulation Ordinance Work Session • It was the consensus of the Council to table the Work Session for 1999 Bond Project Update and the Sign Regulation Ordinance Work Session until a full council was present.
