5UF3.J: E�.ectronie Plotter Purchase- '88 GIP
The '88 CIP included the purchase of computer-aided drafting
(CAA) software and a larqe size electronic pl.ott�r. BPcat.�se a£
new developments in the availability of geographical inform�tion
system tGIS) software, I cannot ,ju�tify t}7e pur.•chase c�£ CAi1
software. The reason being that thP Gi5 syst�m will do
everything the CAb system will do and more. I ciidn ' t fePl i.t was
worth it to gp�nd 52,000 for the CAD so£twaz�e.
fiowever, the GI5 saftwarP, which is the same as the county is
using, requires a piottez-. As lang as the plotter wa:� gtill in
th� budgPt, I am recommending purchasing a.t, Our spreadsheet
s�ftware and PC's will be able to use the plotter right: n�w.
Fur.•thErmore, there are very inexpensive graphic ss�ftware �rograms
availahlE that aould b� purcha�sed for iander 510� that we c�u.ld
�l.:�o us� with this plotter .
In �horfi, I reeommer�d that we p�archase th� plotter and digitiz.ei•
for thp fallowing reasons:
1 . we can use it when we qet a GIS softwar�/hardwar�
2 . wP can use it nnw with some of the �c�f_t�ware we have and
in�xpen�ive software we can purchase
