MEMORANDUM <br />November 25, 1987 <br />TO: Terry Grondona <br />FROM: J.R. Medlin, Maintenance Planner <br />3E- <br />SUBJECT: VEGETATION MANAGEMENT - USE OF COMPUTER SYSTEMS <br />This memo is to continue our communications regarding the administration of the <br />Vegetation Management program which will be transferred from Public Works <br />Engineering to Public Works Maintenance effective January 1, 1988. <br />Some decisions concerning the program transfer have been made subsequent to the <br />meeting between staff from our respective offices. <br />Finance is currently using procedures that are working well, and I see no need <br />to change them. If problems develop at a later time, we can deal with them at <br />that time. <br />The Maintenance Division will use a mirco- computer database management system <br />instead of the Wang system used in the past. This decision was made due to the <br />following: <br />1. Your explanation of why input of data into the Wang system has not <br />saved data entry time at Finance in the past. <br />2. Finance does not require that we process billings on the Wang system. <br />3. The City of Eugene will discontinue use of the Wang system in two or <br />three years. If I am going to be forced to change systems in the <br />near future anyway, I would choose to do it now. <br />Thank you for your valuable input during this transition process. If you have <br />any questions or concerns regarding this transfer process, please do not <br />hesitate to call me 687 -5240. <br />THANKS <br />cc: Les Lyle <br />Bob Hammitt <br />George Jessie <br />David Biedermann <br />Val Dixon <br />
