Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council
1) Approve a supplemental appropriation ordinance for the General Fund
increasing appropriation in the City Secretary, Elections Account No.
11-50-00 and reducing fund balance by $55,949.
2) Approve the purchase of one TARGET microcomputer, two OPTECH voting machines,
one prom burner, cables, installation and training from Business Records
Corporation, 6800 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, Texas, for the central counting
of votes in City of Fort Worth elections. The total cost will be $55,949.
Background
In 1985, Tarrant County purchase an optical scanner voting system for use in all
elections in Tarrant County. The City of Fort Worth rents from Tarrant County
the OPTECH voting machines for use in the precincts on election day. Part of the
optical scanner voting system purchased includes the computer system used for the
central count of votes. Because the computer equipment must remain stationary at
the County Courthouse, the City Council, in January, 1986, expressed its desire
to purchase a similar computer system so that the central counting function of
all Gity of Fort Worth elections remains at City Hall. The optical scanner
voting equipment requires the computer designed for this particular voting
system.
Business Records Corporation in Dallas owns Computer Election System in Berkeley,
California, the designer and manufacturer of the OPTECH optical scanner voting
system and the TARGET microcomputer system.
This purchase will include the TARGET microcomputer, two OPTECH voting machines,
one printer, one prom burner, cables, installation, and training.
Financing
A supplemental appropriation to the General Fund No. O1, Account No. 11-50-00,
City Secretary Elections will be necessary. This action will increase appropria-
tions and decrease General Fund balance by $55,949. The Undesignated Fund
Balance after this supplemental appropriation will be approximately
$21,541,559.
