Council Minutes of 9!21/2004 Finance Director Copfer: 1) She attended two meetings regarding the central dispatch proposals and the legislation. One meeting was internal with the administration, and one included the administration and also Mayor Clough from Westlake and the Fire Chief from Westlake. 2) Today the Board of Control awarded the contract for the design and build of the financial accounting system to Munis. This is only for software, data base applications conversion, training and implementation. The estimated cost is $50,000 if we have 50 concurrent users. More detailed information is available to Council in the Board of Control packets from today's meeting. There are still hardware costs which include the server, cash drawers, possibly time clocks, primers and other peripheral devices that we may need to process information. 2) She provided a packet of information to the Springvale task force for last week's meeting which consisted of historical financial data and debt information. 3) She also met with RTA for their contract negotiations. It's important to understand that, as it's always been, their ultimate goal is for us to provide service at a cost equal to or less than what they can provide the service for. That is what keeps us a viable entity. We provide data to RTA every month, but we have requested information from them so that we know what our targets are required to be.
