MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Richard Hare, Deputy City Man g
DATE: October 27, 1988
SUBJECT: Account Software and Training
In June, 1987, the City purchased an accounting software package for
$5,61.8.00. We are not fully utilizing our financial software package
due to the turnover of staff and the lack of training for our present
staff. The Council did budget for staff training during this year.
Currently, $1,450.00 is available in Finance and Administration which
could be used for this purpose.
It would cost $650.00 to train two people. The training would be
conducted in Stockton, California, with travel, meals and lodging as
additional expenses estimated to be no more than $800. The review is
occurring on October 31., 1988 and, if determined acceptable, the
Deputy City Manager and Finance Officer will attend the training on
November 2, 3 and 4. Pursuant to MOP-1, travel and overnight
accomodations occurring prior to when the full City Council may
consider it at a meeting may be authorized by the Mayor and another
Councilmember. Mayor Lane and Mayor Pro Tem Brown have approved
this request. MOP-1 requires that the Council consider such request
at its next available meeting.
Com�aany Support
The new owners of DLH intend to continue to support their product,
but they are no longer marketing or enhancing it. Instead, they are
marketing the financial package of the new company, BRC. This
package is presented as more versatile and enhanced with additional
applications allowing for more detailed financial reporting. Upgrading
to the BRC package would normally cost $4,000.00, however, we are a
recent installation of DLH and it is to the advantage of the new
company to support the software they developed. Therefore, they are

willing to waive installation and upgrade charges. The new, expanded
product does have a higher monthly maintenance charge, costing an
additional $75.00.
Recommendation
Ratify approval of attendance by Deputy City Manager and Finance
Officer at BRC training in Stockton on November 2, 3 and 4, at a cost
not to exceed $800.00 for travel-related costs.
