Clerk Computer Upgrade
You have requested that I forward information to you with regard
to the amount of money required to transfer from the Clerkts
Professional Services Account to Machinery and Equipment. I have
searched for information to replace the computer'unit, monitor
and printer through the Computer Shopper and PC World. My
comparison'is between Swan Technologies (a clone) and Compaq.
The comparison is as follows:

I have also checked on prices for a Hewlett Packard Laser3et IIP
like the one which the Legal Department purchased a few months
ago. The printer works very well, is quiet, and produces four
pages per minute· I checked with Computerland in regard to a new
IBM Laserprinter E which is comparable to the HP LaserJet. The
difference in price is not that much. The IBM is more expensive,
and produces five pages per minute. There are some other perks
to the IBM, however I would prefer having a machine that I have
some experience with and knowledge that it is a very good machine
and should last a number of years· Price comparisons are as
follow:
IBM Laserprinter E

(government rate)
$1,090.00

$1,110.00

I have spoken with the Borough Clerk's office as to software to'
computerize the cross-referencing of minutes, ordinances,
resolutions· The software program that they use is called
Nunimetrics and cost them approximately $1,500. Kathryn DeLaoey
(the person to whom I spoke) stated that there are other programs
now available and that they are more recent programs than the
Nunimetrics. She is going to forward information from the
Clerk,s Newsletter which has discussion of the other programs
available. So, at this time I do not have any solid cost
information for purchase of the program·

I believe a
time.
transfer of $4,700.00 would be
appropriate at this
