-3- The new method will eliminate the need to purchase, store, and maintain special security control for preprinted checks. This will reduce operating costs and will save staff time in Data Processing Division, Accounts Division, and Purchasing Division. At the same time it will improve operational flexibility because the County can change the layout of its check images and create other needed special forms at will without having to go to an outside printing company. Also, it will alleviate problems and lost staff required to rectify printing problems with outside vendors, recover from printer jams, and having to process checks through a separate check signing step. 6. List major professional services contracts (>$25,000) budgeted for in FY98 by division (if appropriate) and the rationale for each major contract. None for DP Division 7. What programs or services would you like to provide but are unable to do so? If any, describe. In general, Data Processing Division would like to be able to provide a greater depth of support and service to other County departments and agencies in helping them to achieve their office automation goals. Areas such as computer training classes, increased involvement in special computer projects, migrating away from the Wang computer system to newer technology, improving and enhancing existing applications, implementing new systems, inter-networking of various departmental computer systems, and expanding public access to County data all deserve increased attention if we are to build a better working government of trained employees and better serve the public. Data Processing Division recognizes, however, that the County government has many priorities and needs but must live within realistic funding considerations. As a result, we will continue to do the best we can with the resources we have at hand. 8. Are there other funding sources (e.q. grants, entitlements, etc.) other than those already in place that could supplement or enhance programs or services currently provided? If any, describe the source and why you have not been able to access the funding. Data Processing Division would appreciate assistance in locating and obtaining other funding sources and grants as this is not our area of expertise.
