Computer updates Discussion was held with Eicher on the need for GPS computer hardware, to convert the assessor's data into a digital system. Sanpete County is way behind in this neces- sary technology, which would be very beneficial for both emergency and recordkeeping efforts. Eicher was asked to explore ways to cut costs on this endeavor, which could be from $83,000 to 150,000. He agreed to do this and will approach the commission at the next meeting. Eicher passed out a job description for part-tim- e nelp in order to be able to implement the new GPS system, as well as his other job duties.
