Councillor Malcolm argued against the recom- mendation in a consultant's report to hire a 'high level" computer wizard, saying "there is no guarantee one {A150 UNADVERTISED SPECIALS!

The motion to hire the director carried by a wide margin, including Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor, who said later that "maybe "the Region is out-dated (in computer operations) and maybe we have to spend a little money to save some later on." Mayor Taylor said it will 48" Chain Link Fencing be up to the council to approve any recommenda- tions made by the new direc- tor on methods to improve the computer systems used by the Region. However, councillor Malcolm remained opposed tothe hiring. He told the Star after the closed-door session that he fears the recommen- dations could end up costing the Region a lot of money. And he said he doesn't believe the current situation with regards to computer operations is as bad as the consultants suggest it is, Councillor Malcolm said he doubted if the Region could find a computer systems expert for less than $55,000 annual salary. The consultants report recommended that the Region hire a top-gun expert to come up with new systems eR and programs which will better utilize the hardware Durham currently has. Durham leases computer hardware for $270,000 per year. Staff salaries currently are $353,000 yearly, and the total computer operation costs Durham $682,000 each year. One of the major computer functions is in the water and sewer billing operations. 'Sherwin-Williams' Paint Sale SALE! y ALSO Other Paints Not Advertised Kem SEER USE PAI | roll.
