UPDATE ON Y2K - Steve Schafer

The Governor's Year 2000 Council held their first meeting Monday, May 12th at the Governor's mansion. Public and private sectors gave an update on their Y2K preparation. The telephone and banking sectors are progressing in their preparation. There is still work to be done in the county government sector's preparation. Larger state government agencies are thinking responsively. For the smaller agencies, an assessment survey may need to be conducted to document what has been done. Nursing homes are concerned about their pharmaceutical supply, since they often depend on international suppliers.
