3. - Plan of Implementation (Continue on back of page)
To implement the National Voter Registration Act, the Orange County Board of
Elections must upgrade the existing computer equipment. Currently in our office we
have three 286 computers connected to a dot matrix printer. Clearly if we are going to
maintain the data required by the State for the quarterly reports, we must upgrade the
existing computers. To generate the verification required by the act, we must also
upgrade our printer.
We are a small office with 3 1/2 full time equivalent positions (4 employees). Each
individual is trained to do all aspects of our election responsibilities. We do not
dedicate one position to process voter registrations, but at any given time, each one of
us is responsible for this work. Because of this, we are proposing that we install a
local area network connecting all four employees into a central file server. This 1
allows each Election office worker to access the voter registration data base from their
workstation. •
The attached outlines the cost for the network. Included in the system's price are
funds to provide software for maintaining the database and also word processing
software for notifying registrants. We are at this point unsure if we will be able to
find off the shelf software, to accommodate our needs. If we are unable to buy
software we will need to have a consultant write a D-Base application for us. In either
case, we have included $3,000 in our grant proposal to cover the cost of all software
and licensing.
We have also included $800 for miscellaneous supplies, including two file cabinets (at
$150 each), file folders and supplies ($200), and 10 back-up tapes for our network (at
$30 each).
The Departments of Health and Social Services do not intend to submit an application
for funding.
