<br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />City of CenterviUe <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />May 22, 2002 <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she would use the $10,000 from the office equipment fund <br />and find the other $5,000. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers suggested the City is losing that $5000 in Staff time <br />due to the computer issues. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked if a server is needed or the computers. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she felt the server was needed because so much data is stored <br />on the hard drives of the Staff computers that there is not much memory left and that <br />causes issues. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked whether Staff could hook up this system or if the City <br />would need a professional. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated the City would need a professional and said she is looking <br />into someone who can do that for the City. She then commented that she is not looking <br />for approval at this time but a cousensus that Council could live with the proposal. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked if the server could be purchased and hooked up for <br />$10,000 or less. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she would need to find out if the existing computers would <br />work with the server. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg commented that the hidden cost in this is when the City buys the server <br />it needs to buy a person to operate it. He then suggested adding very large hard drives <br />which is very inexpensive and would provide enough memory to solve the crashing <br />issues. He further suggested that Ms. Moore-Sykes retrieve any information she can off <br />of her hard drive and have her hard drive reformatted to eliminate the viruses. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if the City could get a server that is compatible <br />with the machines the City already has. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated Logis had suggested going with a server to add memory and <br />networking. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson commented that she had the same system bought about the same <br />time and has had to flush it and start over because it is not a good system She then <br />commented that she knew of someone who could help with the virus issues and would <br />provide that infurmation to Staff. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked what would happen if the upgraded hard <br />drives do not solve the problem She then commented she would not want to be out all <br />the money to upgrade them <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Page 8 of15 <br />
