Meeting was called to order at 3:12 PM.
The minutes from the March 30th meeting were approved unanimously.
Craig said that he met with John Hawley to come up with a revised
Board of
Education IT and Equipment Specification for construction. Craig indicated
that
the document shouldn't be to specific in detail. Each room has to be looked
at
by architects. Craig mentioned that the specification must be in parallel
with
BOE polices to qualify for eRate. There was a general discussion to include
an addendum that addressed power needs in each location. Tom Hamilton moved
to
accept the addendum, and the ITT committee approved this unanimously.
There hasn't been any new development in the City Hall cabling
RFP. RCC will
be working on this when resources are freed up from other projects.
Dave Wrinn asked if could get copiers in the new police station
in time for the
move. This may not be possible, as Purchasing has asked the Mayor to enter
into
a three year master lease agreement with Ikon.
Steve Mandas said that we are on course to have the telephone
system in the
police station by April 22nd. This will be done in two phases. There will
be acceptable functionality on day 1.
Steve mentioned that he had a meeting with the police department
today, and that
they reconfirmed that all can make the two week delayed schedule. The cutoff
for consolidated dispatch is May 2nd. Dave explained that the phones would
become active at the new Police Station on May 2nd. Kevin asked if dual service
was possible. Dave replied that it wasn't.
Steve said that the McMahon school project was moving along schedule.
Hal Alvord moved to reserve the DID numbers according to the legend that Karen Del Vecchio made available to the committee.
Dave Lepus asked about the PA system. Steve said that the AT&T
proposal
includes an interface with any existing phone system. Ed Schmidt said that
there
is a plan to upgrade Volk Central Station. The money would come out of the
construction project. Dave said that he needs to have PA ability
bi-directionally between the substations and Volk Central. There was a general
discussion about temporary fixes with an eye towards a more permanent solution.
Karen Del Vecchio said that the MAN project is moving right
along. Karen met
with DBO to look at a wireless connection to the transfer station. There was
a general discussion about other fiber that will be available. There was nothing
new to report on
the Norwalk Public Schools eRate.
It was mentioned that Paula Palermo completed four days of training,
but there
were a number of no shows.
Purchase orders for workstations, printers, and a server has
been sent to
Purchasing for the Customer Service Center.
Craig said that the cost for the value added 601 PC summer deployment
project
is $855 per PC. This includes installation ($30.50) and setup for the GX280s.
Ten free lasers to replace ten old ones will be included.
Hal Alvord said that he contacted CCM about a policy on City
Payphones. He is
waiting for a response.
Recreation and parks has been working with IT and Purchasing
in drafting an RFP
for facility management software. They have budgeted 22k for this purpose.
There was a general discussion about possible MUNIS upgrades
and replacement.
There will be a meeting to discuss the implementation of a MUNIS HR module,
and
the feasabilty of a UNIX/Informix to Microsoft/SQL conversion.
The meeting adjourned at 4:26 PM.
Respectfully submitted
