he doesn't know if the Enterprise version was funded, but that Glenn
Iannaccone had gathered the pricing for the upgrade.

talk with the attorney's from AT&T on Thursday. Karen talked with Todd
Cisco
for five hours about the AT&T statement of work on Thursday. Karen is
waiting
for three pieces of information today so she can send out an updated S.O.W.
by
tomorrow afternoon.
RCC: Status of Police Station & McMahon projects - No new news
Status of Cabling RFP: Rachelle and Steve Mandas will be walking thru the DPW garage and the Dog pound today. Tomorrow is the building walkthru for the pre-bid people for the Cabling RFP.
Status of MAN: Karen Del Vecchio said she received invoices from DBO. Transfer station wireless portion is ready to be tied into the network on Friday. There was a brief discussion on the BOE backup power issues.
Training: There was a general discussion on which employees need training and which employees would not need training. Hal Alvord stated that the majority of his personnel never use a computer. Dave Lepus also stated that the firefighters only would have access to email so they do not need training in other areas. Frank Sarno said that Code Enforcement staff needs training in windows.
Customer Service Center: Hal Alvord said there was a press conference today and Mayor Knopp signed all three contracts, the network is ready, the server is ready and the staff is all here.
Miscellaneous/New Items:
Law Department Contract Management Software: No update.
Cellphones and ITT communications: Gerald Foley said that we could go month to month once the contract expires towards the end of year. Hal Alvord suggested doing an RFI on push to talk.
MUNIS Version 2004/ SQL upgrade and migration project.: Karen Del Vecchio
said that finance has asked up to move the current release of MUNIS ASAP.
Munis has come back with the following:
Old sever is outdated and underpowered, a new server is needed.
We need to ensure we have the correct version of the Informix database.
Every desktop needed to be touched for the upgrade.
Every desktop needs to have a 17” monitor (or larger)
Munis will do upgrade/install and migration to new server for $9500
Hal Alvord asked if we need to stay with munis and if there are any other
packages out there.
Karen Del Vecchio said we might want to revisit that option next year.
Firehouse Software/ Dispatch: Frank Sarno said he spoke with Peter at Firehouse software and we do not need the enterprise version to use with combined dispatch.
DPW request for timing traffic signals upgrade and study: Mike
Yeosock said that we are looking to upgrade to version 6 and the study will
be funded by redevelopment. The PC for the new traffic analyst will have to
be powerful enough to run CAD software and have a large hard drive and 19”
monitor.
Kevin Poruban motioned to proceed with the purchase of the traffic study package.
Ed Toth seconded and all were in favor.
Consent Calendar: none.
For Informational Purposes:
We do not meet next week; we will meet the following week on August 31, 2005.
The meeting adjourned at 4:00 pm
respectfully submitted,
Larry Manzi
