Sheffield Lake weighs cost of a city computer system
Council finance committee weighs state compliant computerized accounting. Ernie Pelain of Eaton Credit Corp proposes hiring a programmer at 25000 and estimates computer costs between 60000 and 80000 with 50000 software per unit plus maintenance. Mayor Ackerman seeks regional comparisons and a consultant. Finance Director Andersen says state auditor approval is required and the mini computer should speed city reporting. Funds will come from the general fund and capital improvements.
