The Town Clerk had requested a new computer and a program for the grant the town had received. Supervisor LeBarge noted in the proposal from the BAS Company it stated that a dot matrix printer is needed. Town Clerk McBath stated that the printer that is being used now is working all right. Supervisor LeBarge also stated that the new El Dorado water and sewer program is a one-station program and that only one person can use it. Which Town Clerk McBath agreed with. He also said that the program has not been installed into the server yet, because of that same reason.
