The meeting was called to order at 7:05 p.m. by Wanda Ohare.
1. Minutes for Approval/Correction : October 18, 2004 Minutes approved.
2. Council Chambers Sound System Quote
There is a quote from Sound Inc. totaling$6213, and a quote from Thomas Alarm
totaling $5593. This will move on to C.O.W. This is for department heads to have
microphones and for an assisted listening system for the hearing impaired. This was
already in the approved budget. There was discussion think about a projection system
sometime in the future.
3. Voicemail Expansion Ouote
The quote is for $5,509.71. This is also in the approved budget. There were questions
about this. Is this a fair price? If we are replacing our existing system because it is no
longer available or compatible, is this enough room for what we are using now and will it
have room for expanding? We are currently using 90 mailboxes and this quote looks like
we will only have 72. Tracy will get more information and bring this back to C.O.W.
4. Server Upgrade Update
This is also in the budget. We will be upgrading the backup tape system and operating
system to Windows 2003. The server is estimated to be down for 3 hours. The cost will
be roughly $3,000. The work will probably be February I ltb

5. Budget 05/06 Proposals
a. Exchange Server—This server is for our e-mail Microsoft Outlook Exchange.
b. Laserfiche Proposal- $17,244 is the basic system cost and$50,401 is the cost
with all the additional software. There was concern about whether or not this
would be replacing the actual paper documents. This would be so that there
would be some way of searching for the documents you were trying to find, a
searchable archive. Tracy will see about getting someone to have a presentation
about this.
6. Part-time IT Tech Job Update
The application deadline is Friday. 30 applicants have already applied. It was advertised
in the record and on the website. Interviews will be in the first two weeks of February
and a decision will probably be made the 4s'week of February.
7. E-Pay Program Update
It is up and running. Training and installation was on Friday. There is a$3.50 fee and
the city does not collect any of the money, it goes to the state.
8. Four Year Technology Plan Update
Hopefully the IT person will be able to help with the planning. Everything for 04/05 is
close to being complete. The only thing that maybe is not on schedule is the VPN
connection, and maybe the new IT person can spearhead that project and get it done. The
only change or addition right now for 05/06 would be the MSI Purchase Order Module
would probably be a Human Resource Module instead. In 06 we would look at making
the IT person full time, and possibly hire another IT person who is more media related
rather than technologically related.
4 Proposed Capital Development Fee for City Wide Information System and
Technology There was a suggestion made to survey local communities about what they
do to keep up with growth and capital development for information systems. Another
suggestion would be to redefine the fees and how the money is used.
10 Additional Business
None.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:50 P.M.
