Mr. Allen stated that the city wants to keep the networks separate,and further noted that <br /> the cost would be$3-$4 million per fire station. Dispatch is separate and email would be <br /> separate. <br /> Dr. Varner inquired about viruses,and suggested that the City of Bloomington's website <br /> should be looked at and in particular the vast amount of documents which can be downloaded <br /> form the Common Council's and City Clerk's websites. <br /> Mr. Allen stated that T-lines are needed for each fire station. <br /> Mr. 011ett stated that earlier today there was a managers meeting on GIS. <br /> Council Member Dieter suggested that the city contact a computer group(Schminder) <br /> out of Elkhart which he is familiar with who may be of assistance; and asked about mapping <br /> capabilities. <br /> Mr. 011ett stated that of the seven(7)municipal websites, four(4)are hosted by the city. <br /> There is a 20second max for a download otherwise the user will go elsewhere. He noted that <br /> one of the key areas to be focused upon is how does the city manage its information. What <br /> forms should be online,making various payments on line,website information,etc are all items <br /> to be discussed. <br /> Mr. 011ett stated that Crowe is in the 2nd of six(6)phases. The City is looking at the <br /> best websites such as Bent, Oregon; Denver, Colorado. <br /> Council Member Puzzello asked if the city was utilizing the many talented computer <br /> people at IUSB or Notre Dame, and was advised that the city administration is not. <br /> Council Member Pfeifer suggested that Ivy Tech also be contacted for assistance. <br /> Dr. Varner inquired about where the city will be in six(6)months from today and one(1) <br /> year from today; and also inquired about linking with other municipal websites, including St. <br /> Joseph County,and to GIS information. <br /> Mr. 011ett stated that the administration would have an update for the Council in the next <br /> two(2)months. <br /> Dr. Varner noted that the city has put the concerns of its website on the back burner for <br /> far too long. A city the size of South Bend should have a user-friendly interactive website, rather <br /> than one which is just for show. He also suggested that the Council should have the capability of <br /> having computers, a scanner,a color printer; with all of this costing less than$10,000. He stated <br /> that the Council's website needs upgrades which incorporate all of the committee minutes, forms <br /> for tax abatement, street/alley vacations,budget and appropriation information with timely <br /> updates. <br /> Information and Technology Meeting of April 26,2004 Page 2 <br />
