<br /> <br />.~M.::c..::e~,::f(~~A\lLt?$~);~~~1Jl~~~~~~Ji~ <br /> <br />We work very hard to provide valuable services for public producers, interns, <br />viewers, and the seven cities we serve. In 2005 we expanded the services we <br />can provide to cities, exponentially. We had offered some computer assistance <br />in 2004, but in 2005 need for Rose's networking, computer building, and Scala <br />expertise reached an all time high. <br /> <br />Meanwhile, many cities began having problems with their video production <br />equipment, or were considering equipment replacement options. Our Video <br />Engineer, Rick, became available to do as much troubleshooting, repair, and <br />equipment replacement consulting as possible. <br /> <br />And finally, our primary goal of assuming all program playback responsibilities for <br />our seven cities became a reality. <br /> <br />. Computer and networking services <br />As you may recall, the Commission sent Rose to school to become a certified <br />Microsoft Systems Engineer. A big goal of ours was to offer whatever <br />computer assistance to our cities that we could. Below please find a <br />summary of some of the highlights of the year: <br /> <br />o Diagnosed and repaired an ongoing problem with the Lexington <br />Scala system. <br />o Resolved server issues for the city of Circle Pines. <br />o Resolved problems with the Centennial Lakes Fire Department <br />system. <br />o Attended a Scala training conference (this is the graphics computer <br />system most of our cities use to post bulletin board information on <br />their government channels) and became a certified Scala dealer. <br />o Addressed a Scala power supply failure in in-house kiosk, set up <br />Scala network, installed software, routed programming, and <br />installed KVM switch for the city of Blaine. This resulted in savings <br />of $6,000 for the city of Blaine by moving Scala maintenance from a <br />contract service to an in-house service. <br />o Set up new staff server access, configured print server, and set up <br />printer access for the city of Lexington. <br />o Consulted on, built, and installed an upgraded server system that <br />included Scala, databases, networking switches, back-up system, <br />and rack and cabling for the city of Centerville. <br />o Repaired a computer for the Centennial Lakes Fire Department. <br /> <br />17 <br />
