Auburn officials are considering installation of a “public access” computer terminal to allow citizens to more easily obtain real estate information.Tax Assessor Patricia Brann believes the time savings afforded workers in her office by a terminal would be “unmeasurable.” The terminal would be placed in the hall of the City Building and would have strict security constraints with “lockout” protective mechanisms to insure no one changed or tampered with any data.
