Technolol!V Plan Update Mr. Siddiqui stated the Technology Master Plan, as it existed, required a few modifications to the three-year technology/capital improvement plan. Since its adoption in 2002, a number of technological changes have taken place. The primary modification is due to the planned purchase of the SCADA system at an approximate cost of $100,000. This item was budgeted at $60,000 in the current year. Another modification was due to the addition of the engineer position. Other minor modifications were due to the deferment of purchases for another year. He recommended the Council review the updated Technology Plan and approve the proposed modifications. Councilmember Larson asked who would be responsible for the computers now that Mr. Parrish had left. Ms. Wolfe replied she had chosen the Finance Director to be the contact person regarding the computers, but this could be reevaluated when the other open position is filled. Mayor Aplikowski stated she would like to also have included in the Technology Plan a category for improving the sound system and other equipment needs in the Council Chambers in the near future. Ms. Wolfe stated the audio technician had indicated there were many choices for microphones and he was going to get some information to her.
