convert City applications to automated systems.
Regardless of whether the computer center would be operated under the County or
•
a City. -County organization, personnel need be oriented to the basic characteristics
of automated data processing.
In any event certain City applications (voter registration, special assessments,
budgetary accountitg and payroll) can now be converted to the present County unit
record system or to private computers or a combination of both. The ultimate
objective would be complete changeover to the Model 20 when it is readied for
operation. Therefore, request authorization be granted for personnel to attend
IBM training courses in Minneapolis as follows:
Introduction to Data Processing (November 15,16 and 17) (3 days)
Paul Utesch and Elfreda Reiter
Key Punch Training (November 28,29,30 and December 1) ( 4 days)
Elfreda Reiter and one other girl from .City Clerk's office
Model 20, Planning & Programming (At a later date) (10 days)
Paul Utesch
Introduction to EDP Management (At a later date) (4 days)
James Andre
Model 20 Management (At a later date) (3 days)
James Andre
The above courses will provide basic familiarization with automated data
processing systems and equipment and mechanical skills which.will enable the
City staff to work more effectively with the central processing unit.
There is no registration or tuition fee. The city however woult reimburse
the personnel for expenses.

would be assessed to both sides and if Hutchinson & Sauer were going to pay for the cost of

and water had not been completed on 20th Street was that the people had not returned the

established residential areas on the north and south side of 3rd Street S. W. and therefore
recommend that only t.4e north 99.5 feet of these properties be rezoned to the B-3 District,
since these properties extend south beyond the south line of this proposed Zoning District
line, commercial use can be extended 50 ft. south of the district boundary, therefore, the
net effect of this recommended change is to allow commercial use to develop to a line midway
between 2nd Street S. W. and 3rd Street S.W., the remaining portions of these properties can
be used for accessory use parking areas if desired for the existing businesses and the
existing uses can continue as partial non -conforming uses, was read. A motion was made by
Alderman Folkert that the -recommendation be adopted as read, but his motion was declared
lost for want of a second. Mr. William Young, Attonney representing the owner of Big Joy
Drive In was present and stated that this had.been zoned as commercial and when the new

property be zoned as commercial. Property owners along 3rd Street S. W. were present and
