Special Council Meeting <br />9-29-03 <br />Page 4 <br />^'~ Mr. Marrie said we talked about this before because I remember being very vocal about it--let's <br />get the report of what we hired them for so we know where we stand now and then talk about the <br />future. Right now, we're trying to put everything in one basket and it's not working. We don't <br />even know where we are at. <br />Council President Buckholtz said I understand that; I will make sure the report gets out to <br />everybody. It shows some areas where some monies could be saved; it shows some phone lines <br />that could be-what we are trying to do is organize a field trip of all of Council to go to <br />Warrensville Heights. They are someone who just finished doing the big project. It's not like <br />there is any hidden material or information, there's also no incredible revealing facts in the <br />report. My mistake for not distributing it but it's not earthshaking at this point. It inventories all <br />our stuff, what we had. Part of that I did with them part of going into specific departments and <br />looking at specific computers and how computers were set up-I actually went with a couple of <br />the guys; we looked at what kinds of lines are coming in and out of the buildings and so forth. <br />So, there's nothing really earthshaking in the report but everybody needs to have it. I will make <br />sure it is in everybody's hands this week. <br />Mr. Marrie said obviously Chief Mohr had the same problem you [addressing Mr. Riter] did; <br />that's why he brought it up. He went through a similar scenario and also a scenario that "what if' <br />in an emergency where it's this and no one is getting to talk to anyone else. <br />Mr. Riter said I am dialing.... <br />Council President Buckholtz said I just call their cell phones and I get them all the time. <br />Mr. Riter said I try to go through the operator and through their offices and that kind of thing <br />rather than bothering them on their cell phone---- <br />~-- ---- <br />Council President Buckholtz, Mrs. Cinco and others said I just call them on their cell phone and <br />they answer on their first ring. <br />Council President Buckholtz said I wasn't thinking of that; I am thinking of a technology <br />upgrade in a much different way just in terms of a network and aserver---but you are <br />absolutely right. <br />Mr. Riter said I thought November might be an appropriate time. <br />Council President Buckholtz said I still want to pursue the idea of they were going to set up an <br />initial meeting because Warrensville is someone who picked up a lot of bells and whistles---- <br />Council President Buckholtz asked if there was any further discussion. <br />Mrs. Roman mentioned that Doug Metzung's father-in-law passed away. <br />Council President Buckholtz said on the report, so it is not misconstrued, I wasn't disappointed <br />_ ,- <br />with the technology report and it's not that I am disappointed with the work that the company <br />
