<br />— Special Purchase — Sungard Public Sector
<br />Mr. Matt Chlebowski, Central Services, stated this special purchase is for a wireless barcode
<br />reader that is part of the Sunguard system used for inventory and fleet maintenance. He noted the
<br />City currently uses barcodes on over $2,000,000.00 worth of parts to help with inventory. Mr.

<br />Naviline software. Ms. Dorau asked if the City discontinues Naviline, can this system still be
<br />used. Mr. Bob Allen, Information Technologies, stated there is other software that uses this
<br />system. Mr. Eric Horvath, Public Works Director, asked if the City could barcode equipment for
<br />greater accountability and to cut losses. Mr. Chlebowski stated they probably could.
<br />- License Agreement and Professional Services Agreement — Opportunity Space, Inc.
<br />Mr. Scott Ford, Director of Community Investment, stated this service will provide an online
<br />searchable website of properties. He noted this interface would be a pilot for the City for this
<br />year to post City owned land for sale. He noted the license and the agreement are not $7,000.00
<br />each, it is a total cost of $7,000.00. Mr. Ford stated this is an important step for vacant and
<br />abandoned properties. Mr. Gilot noted this will give twenty-four (24) hour access for people to
<br />view properties, and they can contact the City if they need additional help.
<br />- Professional Services Agreements — MicroImegration and Amazon Web Services

<br />for GIS and the rest of the City servers. He noted both agreements together will be a large cost
<br />saver for the City. Mr. Eric Horvath, Public Works, asked if there is an opt -out clause, noting this
<br />is a five year agreement. Mr. James Schrader, Information Technologies, stated the City can opt
