Joe Kramer was present from NDACo and said the work would likely be done after business hours and on weekends to accommodate the employee users. He said no overtime will be assessed, and they will apply the same rate they charge all counties for technoiogy work. Mr. Montplaisir said the total cost for the software installation is expected to be $24,000.00, and the cost for memory upgrades will be about $4,000.00. Mr. Wagner asked where the money wouid come from to pay for the software installation, and the response from Mr. Montplaisir was that the cost would be charged to the budget of each department that receives the upgrade. Budget adjustments will be needed for some departments and some will absorb the amount in their current budget. Mrs. Schneider asked if this would be the last year for upgrades if the county has a replacement schedule of every three years, and Mr. Kramer said that would be correct. He said a typical replacement schedule is every 3-4 years.
