5/6/05 Proposal from Sungard H.T.E. to provide application software
training for code enforcement personnel
RECOMMENDATION:
Presented for City Council consideration and approval is a proposal from SunGard/H.T.E. to provide
application software training for code enforcement personnel at a cost of $4,800 plus travel expenses.
BACKGROUND:
In 1994, the City of Port Arthur installed a central computer system with application software for
various departments. At that time, departments received training on the new systems. Due to changes
in personnel, and modifications to the software that have occurred during these past 10 years, and in
order to improve our operational efficiency, it is recommended that we receive on site training in
some of the applications. The code enforcement area is the first to be recommended for this additional
training. The CE product tracks various code violations, especially high grass and junk motor
vehicles. This system also provides accounting with the information to bill these charges. This
training must be scheduled well in advance of the site visit. The training will be scheduled for
October 4-7, 2005.
BUDGET/FISCAL EFFECT:
The cost for the training is $4,800 for four days plus reimbursement for travel expenses. The total
estimated cost of this training is $6,000. Funds for this training will be recommended in the 2005-
2006 budget for the Community Services Department, Environmental Health Division.
STAFF/EMPLOYEE EFFECT:
This training will enhance the efficiency of the environmental health staff.
