Meeting was called to order at 3:02 pm

Minutes of September 8, 2004 were reviewed. No changes were recommended and the minutes were unanimously approved.

City Telephone System: Karen Del Vecchio gave an overview of the RFP history and said that the subcommittee is prepared to make a recommendation for a vendor. Documentation will be provided to the ITT Committee next week. Gerald Foley had scoring sheets and will present to NFCC next week.

RCC: Police Station & McMahon: Peter Berry said that Police construction continuing and there were questions about equipment room and the limited amount of space available. Peter Berry said we are still on target for completing the police station.
Peter Berry said that McMahon construction is continuing and there is an Ad-Hoc Building Committee meeting today to discuss the Center for Global Studies budget items that were purchased under the FF&E process. There was discussion on the amount of money budgeted for this and Chris Buswell said that the dollar amount is based on the number of students.
The normal course for this to pass would be the Ad-Hoc Building Committee meeting, then the BOE, then the State.

Status of MAN: Karen Del Vecchio said that the comments on the contract were sent to the Law department, and Law will be developing a third draft. We still need to meet with the E-Rate Consultant. Dave Wrinn suggested that we get an update of the timeline from DBO. There was discussion on how the MAN will be handled if the E-Rate funding is not approved. Hal Alvord said that it would probably bring us out to some time in October and we won’t have a signed contract before October. Also it was mentioned that the building out of the MAN will happen during the winter months, so we should anticipate some delays due to weather.

Training: Karen Del Vecchio is reviewing budget to see if there are any funds available for additional employee workshops.

Customer Service Center: Gerald said all ranking and ratings will be reviewed at meeting tomorrow. There was also discussion of where the money was going to come from since the budgeted amount was only $25,000.

Backup/Recovery: Karen Del Vecchio said Hilink will be training the IT staff in restoring on September 16, 2004. Hilink has also provided us with documentation. We are still running the old backups in parallel.

Voice/Data Cable Infrastructure Specifications: This is a new RFP for the cabling spec that was pulled out of the phone system RFP. The scope of the cabling RFP is for the City Hall, Health and Fire Department. Peter Berry said that drawings for the Fire Department might be needed. Hal Alvord recommended seeing if Alan Lo had any drawings. Dave Lepus said that the Fire Department has some drawings.

Library Request for PC workstations: The Library has request eight workstations. Six are for
Circulation and two are for public access in the children’s room. Hal Alvord moved to accept and Dave Wrinn seconded. Tom Hamilton asked if the pc’s were a part of the technology refresh. Karen Del Vecchio said that they are not. Tom Schedlich said that it was part of their budget. Tom said that the budgeted money for these items should have been taken out of each department and put into the capital budget to be used by IT. That way IT will have control over all upgrades, and the PC’s needing the upgrades first can be part of the technology refresh. IT should be recommending all refreshes. Tom suggested that we table this item until next week so he can review. Tom motioned to table item until next week. All were in favor except Hal Alvord who opposed.

The meeting adjourned at 4:10 p.m.
Respectfully submitted
Larry Manzi
