Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The need to replace this big piece of computer infrastructure has been demonstrated, at least to me. I know that has come up for probably the last three years in discussions of this department, so we're moving ahead on it. This current year, according to the information provided, we'll be spending about $183,000 on it. The department is asking for $500,000 this year, with the anticipation of spending $15 million over the next two years, for a total project cost of $15.7 million. That is a very large computer, Mr. Chairman.

A question that I wanted to ask; we're just about finished spending $183,000 preparing for this project and we're looking at spending $500,000 this year. Seven-and-a-half million dollars for the coming two fiscal years are really large, big, round numbers. What I wanted to ask is how close are we getting to a more accurate and a more detailed cost of replacing and upgrading this system? Fifteen million dollars is, to me, an awfully large, very well-rounded number, and I'm looking for some more detail and more precision in this area.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the prior year costs -- that's for 2004-05 -- $183,000, that's the business plan look at what we're going to need. For 2005-06, $500,000 is the system selection. We're going to have to make a decision at that point what system we're actually going to go with. So for 2006-07 and 2007-08, these are estimates that we feel are in the ballpark of where we're going to get and need. But until we actually make the 2005-06 system selection, we're going to be in the area of ballparking. Thank you.
