Ed Schmidt, Tom Hamilton, Tom Schadlich, Mike Yeosock, Hal Alvord            

Meeting was called to order at 1:10 pm

Craig Reichenbach put the 84 chair purchase for Naramake and Cranbury Schools before the ITT committee. This is part of the Schools Pilot Project. The price for all 84 chairs, delivery and setup is just under $5000. 00. The committee unamiously approved it.

The ITT committee is looking to use the BOE form Craig Reichenbach provided to be a standard document for presentation to the Land Use or Finance Committee.

Gerald Foley met with Peter Berry and Diane Jacobson to discuss the contract with Digital Back Office. Peter said that a detailed project plan should be the first deliverable once the contract is signed. Ten outstanding issues need to be addressed before moving on with the contract. An ITT subcommittee (Peter Berry, Hal Alvord, Ed Toth, Craig Reichenbach, Tom Hamilton, Ed Schmidt) was made and will meet with DBO next week to review the outstanding issues.

There are currently no issues with E-Rate.

Tom Hamilton stated the MAN Implementation Proposal from RCC needs to be defined more clearly. Tom asked Peter Berry about pricing and implementation changes if E-Rate did not come back as soon as expected. Peter said pricing would stay the same as long as RCC's effort does not have to increase. Peter Berry agreed to identify the scope of work and deliverables in more detail by the next meeting.

A meeting with the vendors for the Backup and Restore RFP is this Friday. The meeting is to clarify some open issues, discuss support and training. A vendor will be selected after the Friday meeting. The ITT committee will review the outcome at the next meeting and will put in the Council Packet for that Friday. Tom Hamilton made a motion to approve the recommended vendor and to forward to the Finance Committee. All were in favor.

Neoteris Test is expiring on February 28th. Tom Hamilton suggested we start an RFP process for selecting a vendor. Since the test expires and is not being used for applications (only email), those with remote access using Neoteris will not have access after February 28th and will have to wait for a vendor to be selected before access can be restored.

Having another vendor give us an evaluation should also be considered so we can continue having access to email remotely and to evaluate their product. Rick Hayes will send out a memo to all Neoteris users to state that the evaulation period is up and he will forward their norwalkct.org email to their private email addresses.

Another ITT Subcommittee (Dave Wrinn, Ed Toth, Rick Hayes, Tom Schadlich) was made to determine the status and changes needed for IP Addressing.

Ed Schmidt mentioned that we need to consider the migration of telepone numbers.

Gerald Foley said that it is in the scope to the RFP, but this city is responsible for it.

The meeting adjourned at 2:30 p.m.

Respectfully submitted
Larry Manzi
