EXHIBIT "A"
Create system tools to periodically perform system cleanup
and therefore insure that each system is running at an
optimum level.
Define and implement security on all computer systems within
the city. The definition should arrive at a degree of
security that allows adequate protection of data and
programs from unauthorized access, but does not hinder any
user from preforming their daily work.
Assist both internal and outside auditors in reviewing the
financial and other controls as it relates to data
processing systems and to insure that the systems are
preforming accurately.
Prepare written material and work guide lines for any future
operational personnel, and train the initial operational
personnel.
Evaluate all vendor proposals for automation as an
independent source using the "best interest of the city"
as the primary goal for the evaluation.
Manage and oversee the conversion of the existing software
used on the AS/400 from a S/36 environment to a native
execution format. In doing so, any custom features or
calculations that have been incorporated into the existing
systems must be brought forward and tested thoroughly. By
doing so the City will realize the benefit of the enhanced
version of the system, and utilize the operating efficiency of
the native format.
Conduct education for city personnel in user related system
commands for the AS/400. users have to this point received
only limited and informal training on system use.
Organize and configure the system to control system output.
At the current time on the AS/400 the majority of the
printed output is directed to one of two high speed printers
located in the computer room. Their output is many times
mixed and confused with others. By dividing the users into
work groups (along departmental organizational lines), the
output can be identified with a cover page, and then placed
in a specific area near the printers.

Create procedures to insure that timely and continuous
backup copies of all data and program products are done.
This would include the systems throughout the city (i.e.
Police, Library, Fire) and will also include personal
computers. Most personal computers in use in the city at
this time are not backed up in a sufficient manner that would
guarantee that user could recover from a hardware failure.
Assist in application software development and/or
acquisition. Most of the application software currently in
use is mature and meets the needs of the end users, in that
it helps them get their daily work done, and gives them the
informational reporting they desire. However, in some areas
product enhancement or replacement may be required dependent
upon future requirements yet to be determined.
Plan and assist in the implementation of areas within the
city related to connectivity between users and the multiple
computers currently in use.
