Honorable George J. Vavoulis
Members of the City Council
Members of the Board of County Commissioners
Dear Sirs:
,
Under your direction the Microfilm Supervisory Committee has planned,
developed, and is operating a joint city-county microfilm program. The micro-
film center has been completed, equipment purchased, and service has been pro-
vided to city-county departments and bureaus for several months.
Based upon the work and studies of the committee to date and in accor-
dance with the provisions of legislation submitted by the county board and city
council to the 1965 legislature , as well as consistent with the recommendations
of the citizens' committee studying data processing, the microfilm supervisory
committee, in a nnanimous action on June 21, 1965, requests the city council and
' county board to amend the present agreement for joint city-county microfilming
� by expanding the auth ority of the committee to include the development and opera-

To the Honorable George J. Vavoulis
Members of the City Council
Members of the Board of County Commissioners
Dear Sirs:
The following report is made pursuant to the request of
the City Co�cil and County Board that the Mayor!s Citizen
Study Committee for Centralized Data Processing continue its
studies and make recommendations concerning the organizatice�
and operation of a centralized data processing program. .
Previous recommendations of the Committee were contained
in City Bill No. 34 which was approved by the City Council, the
County' Board, and the State House of Representatives� but not
adopted by the State Senate.
Th� Committee has reviewed and considered a proposed
agreement between the City and County for the establishment of
a Joint Services Department to i.nclude microfilmi.ng, reproduc-
tion, and data processing.
The Committee finds that this proposed agreement is in
accordance with the basic objectives and recommendations con-
tained in our Committee reports to your Honorable bodies dated
April 24, 1964 and July 9, 1964. Therefore, the Committee un-
animously endorses and recommends the execution of this agree-
ment by the City Council and County Board.
Further, at the suggestion of our committee, the city
council and county board each provided $12�600 in the. 1965 bud-
get for the purpose of employing systems and programming person-
, nel and conducting an educational program. The Committee would
again like to request that the city council and county board
each again provide in the 1966 budget $12,500 for the same above-
�1 mentianed purposes.

August 6, 1965,
As we stated previously in our reports, the committee
feels it is important t o understand that such joint efforts
should not be expected to be developed and organized to produce
great results in a short period of time. Nevertheless, with
full cooperation and careful planning, an orderly transition
pariod with minimum conversion prob lems, maximum efficiency and
effectiveness in the fields of microfilming, data processing,
and reproduction will be reaLized, with the elected officials,
employees, and taxpayers alike sharing in the benefits and
savings.
Sincerely yours,
� �j.
