No one could have projected how costly it would be for governments to keep their communities safe, as the century turns. No one. As we approach the new millennium, local government officials face budgets and allocations that don’t allow for the replacement or remediation of Y2K-affected systems and, as the clock ticks, there are few solutions. That’s why NACo and PTI have developed a capital expenditure, Y2K financing program that allows officials to secure the money they need–when they need it–to ensure their technology systems are Y2K compliant. The financing program offers tax-exempt leasing to obtain hardware, software and services necessary to implement Y2K solutions. All local governments are eligible to take advantage of the financing program. To obtain quotes and request additional information, call toll-free 800/372-3008. In addition to the financing program, PTI offers Y2K procurement and contingency planning programs.
