Miscellaneous/New Items:
Law Department Contract Management Software: The Mayor has requested for the
IT Department to research a way to help the Law Department better manage their
contracts. The IT Department has nothing in-house that will handle this so
several contract management packages were reviewed and the Law department
will receive demos to decide on which product would work best.
Cellphones and ITT communications: Karen Del Vecchio said that Mike Dolhancryk wants to get blackberries from nextel (who offered us the BEZ software for free) for $99/each. We would still have to pay for licenses and would need a new server.Gerald Foley stated that he was working with nextel about getting prices for pooling the minutes. There was discussion on push-to-talk, and the different options with and without cell service, and the needs of departments.
Consent Calendar: none.
The meeting adjourned at 3:58 pm
respectfully submitted,
Larry Manzi
