Information and Technology Committee <br /> 2013 South Bend Common Council <br /> The February 4, 2013 meeting of the Council's Information and Technology Committee meeting was <br /> called to order by its Chairperson, 1St District Council Member Tim Scott at 5 p.m. in the Council <br /> Informal Meeting Room. <br /> Persons in attendance included Council Members: Oliver Davis, Karen L. White, Tim Scott, Dr. David <br /> Varner, Henry Davis, Jr., Derek Dieter, and Dr. Fred Ferlic; City Controller Mark Neal, Director of <br /> Information Technologies Keith Crain, Systems Analyst Sue Gerlach, a member of the news media, and <br /> Council Attorney Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand. <br /> Council Member Scott noted that the Committee Members include: Dr. Varner as Vice-Chairperson, <br /> Gavin Ferlic, Henry Davis, Jr., and himself as Chairperson. A quorum was present. <br /> Council Member Scott stated that today the Committee will continue the "Ipad Rollout" by having a <br /> training session. He thanked members of the City Administration for all of their help and assistance, <br /> especially the City's Information Technologies personnel. He noted that Sue Gerlach and Keith Crain <br /> have been wonderful to work with on this project. <br /> Sue Gerlach provided a 6-page handout entitled "Council I-Pad Training Notes", and proceeded to <br /> demonstrate each of the applications on the I-Pad listed in the handout. She noted that the Ipads have 28 <br /> gig capacity, which is huge. <br /> Keith Crain noted that there currently is WiFi in sixteen (16) of the City's buildings, and they are working <br /> on having WiFi capabilities in all municipal buildings which have conference rooms. <br /> In response to a question raised by Council President Dieter, Mr. Crain confirmed that the City is in the <br /> process of reconciling the equipment current used in the police vehicles which raises a separate set of <br /> issues. <br /> Council Member Scott also demonstrated many of the features on the Ipad which he utilizes, and in <br /> particular those used when reviewing a Council packet. It was suggested that additional training sessions <br /> be scheduled, since today's session was so useful and informative. <br /> There being no further business to come before the Committee, Council Member Scott thanked everyone <br /> for coming, and then adjourned the meeting at 6:15 p.m. <br /> ' rni 'a bmitted, <br /> Counci •• .er Tim Scott, Chairperson <br /> Information and Technology Committee <br /> Attachment <br />
