The minutes from the August 11th meeting were approved as amended. The approval
of the minutes from the 08/18/04 meeting was tabled until the next meeting.

The City Telephone solution RFP will be available for the committee to review
for the next meeting.

There was nothing new to report on the status of the Police station and the
McMahon projects.

Karen said she would meet with Diane from Corporation Counsel this afternoon to
incorporate some comments into the second draft for the MAN project contract.

Harold mentioned that he would like to get 4 people from the garage into
training with Paula on Excel and Email.

Gerald says that he is waiting for confirmation for interviews to be held on
09/08 for the Customer Service Center. He discussed the proposals and ratings
from the top four firms. Hal suggested that we clearly identify what the
software should be expected to do. Mike mentioned that the 911 system may be
able to be modified to accommodate requirements for the new Citizen service
system. Tom talked about the objectives of the system and the elements of the
process used to get us to this point. There was a general discussion about an
ERP system.

Karen reported that the backup/recovery system is up and running.

Al Kao presented a request for a new laptop for the Health department. This
is to replace the one that was just stolen. The request was approved but
there was a discussion about security and preventative steps that can be taken
with future office equipment.

Gerald suggested that we renew out Cell plan with Cingular for one year,
upgrade to GSM technology, and look at an RFP next year. Mike mentioned that
he can't contact key officials in an emergency situation where the regular
phones are out. He suggested looking at Priority Service features now rather
than waiting until next year. The Committee moved to approve the Cingular
renewal and Mike agreed to work with Gerald to provide some Nextels for some
key officials.

The Committee moved to change the start time from 1:00 to 3:00 on Wednesdays.

There was no new news to report on the new PC specs for the Board of Education.

The meeting adjourned at 2:30 PM.

Respectfully submitted
Frank Sarno
