The County of Ulster Legislature hereby finds
and determines that the interests of the public will be better served
by allowing freer access to County data. It further finds and determines
that one means of providing such access is by allowing individuals
and businesses to access such data through their own computer terminals,
with the cost of providing such a service to be borne by those choosing
to take advantage of it.
The County of Ulster, through its Department
of Information Services, is hereby authorized to provide access to
the County database system to subscribers utilizing their own computer
terminals on a contractual basis.
The County of Ulster is hereby authorized to
charge fees for the County's complete actual cost of providing access
services to subscribers. Such fees shall be calculated by the Director
of Information Services and approved from time to time by the County
Legislature.
The Director of Information Services is hereby
authorized to execute such contracts on behalf of the County. The
contracts shall also be countersigned by the heads of the departments
whose records are being accessed.
