Dear' Ralph:
I called your office on Monday, May 14th, to speak to
you about the transfer of the data processing communications line
to the Marathon Library. I was informed that you would be out
for the rest of the week and I therefore spoke to Bill Carter
about this matter.
As I am sure you are aware, within the past six months
I have been besieged with requests from both the legal and busi-
ness communities in Marathon and the Middle Keys area to provide
facilities for on-line inquiry into the Document Recording and
Indexing system and also capability to inquire into other public
records which are maintained on our computer system. Since it is
impossible for me to provide the necessary communications to sup-
port all of the individual requests that I have had for on-line
inquiry capabi I ities, I must at this time take action to centra-
lize in one public facility a terminal which can be used by the
general public for this purpose.
I have recently worked out an arrangement with the
Marathon Library to place a computer terminal and a complete set
of the microfilmed public records in that facility.
It is my intention to make the transfer some time
during the week of May 21st through May 25th.

I am also by this letter extending an offer to you to
pl.Jrchase your Model 7900-301 NCR computer terminal fOl the amount
of $1,800.00 should you care to sell this equipment at this time.
We have inquired of some used equipment dealers who specialize in
NCR equipment and find that the sum of $1,800.00 represents the
approximate market value of that terminal.
r regret any inconvenience that this action may cause
you; however, I feel sure that the availability of the same ser-
vices in the Marathon library will more than adequately serve
your needs.
Further, I have requested the County Commission to
budget sufficient funds in their next fiscal year to provide for
a modest addition to the Marathon Clerk's Office, hopefully by
the end of the year, which will alloYI me to consol.idate all of
the records including the computer terminal in an area adjacent
to the existing Marathon Clerk's Office.
I am sure that you understand that my decision to take
this action is based upon what r perceive to be the needs of the
citizens of the Middle Keys as they have been expressed to me.
If you have any questions, please contact

Very truly yours,
