Meeting called to order about 3:05 pm.
1. Minutes of April 4, 2007 Meeting: approved.
2. Status of City Telephone Solution: Cisco will be coming in to explain to
Health Department the benefits so they can apply for grants. Currently it
looks like the quotes are several tens of thousands over the budget. Karen
mentioned that Ralph was going to try to cover the cost of his switches –
about $25,000, which with any Health grants may cover the proposed cost. Karen
authorized JKS to provide memory upgrade of the Call Managers for Brien McMahon
and Police.
3. Board of Ed: Status of Norwalk High Phase 1: Nothing new to report.
4. Training: Authorized Paula to train DPW on an advanced Acrobat and an additional
class for City employees.

b. Norwalk Government Access Broadcast Content Guidelines Policy Development:
No activity.
c. Firehouse Upgrade: Dave Ross received the new version 7 and will begin
installation and testing next week.
d. Health Department Clinical and Environmental System search: Tim Callahan
wants Gerald to release the RFP but Gerald wants to discuss it with Al Kao
first and plans to release it next Tuesday.
e. Active Directory: Dave and John reported that they have begun cutting both
departments and servers over to private IP addresses and the new wiring. They
explained that Active directory could not be installed until all departments
and servers were on private IP address and on the new wiring. The IT Department
has had meetings with Microsoft on licensing – how many are needed what is
the best price, etc. They have received quotes from ASAP but they had the
wrong quantity. Additionally the Microsoft rep let us know that the state
is negotiating an Enterprise agreement which would lower our cost significantly
so we are in a holding pattern on this until the state makes a decision.
f. Blackberry Service expansion: The Blackberry’s have been ordered but the
Cingular rep is on vacation and the expected delivery is not known at this
time.
g. Library administrative wiring project – status: Tom said the network wiring
was complete but that they had not yet received the patch cables.
h. Disaster Recovery this weekend. Karen asked the Chief if he wanted any
IT personnel to be available this weekend.
i. DPW copier: For discussion at the next meeting. Mike said that their blue
line copier died and the black line is on its last legs.
