FINANCIAL ADVISORY BOARD

A special meeting of the Financial Advisory Board was held at Town
Hall on Tuesday, November 5, 1985, at 10:00 A.M.
Those attending included members Richard Brunton, Walter Peklenk and
Reese James. Member Joseph Murania was absent and member Ben Cohen
was excused because of illness. Town Manager Hugh Williams was also
present during the discussion regarding computer acquisition for the
Town.
The minutes of the October 28, 1985 meeting were discussed and ap-
proved as written.
The purpose of this special meeting was for the continuation of the
review and discussion of the various computer hardware and software
that have been under consideration. To assist in a better under-
standing of the IMS proposal, Mr. Aerenson, IMS Representative, was
invited to answer questions and further amplify on the IMS proposal.
While the IMS proposal gave every evidence of being capable of meet-
ing the Town's needs, there continued to remain some concerns with
the F.A.B. Members as to the long term viability of the IMS
Organization.
Following considerable discussion, it was moved, seconded and so
voted to recommend to the Town Commission that:
- The Commission negotiate with HTE for an $18,000 fee for
their individual programs covering:
1. Governmental Managing and Budgetary Accounting
Package with the Budget Preparation and Pur-
chasing Inventory Components.
2. Payroll and Personnel Component.
3. Utility Billing Component.
4. Full 50 hour training for each component.
