1. Roll Call.

Roll Call was taken; all were present except for John VanderLeest,* who arrived shortly thereafter.

2. Request by the Finance Director for approval to replace the City’s computer backup system.

IT Director Mark Delaski said the backup system currently in use is more than six years old and incapable of backing up all data and applications due to size constraints. Funds for replacement of this equipment were budgeted in 2006.

A motion to approve the request by the Finance Director to replace the City’s computer backup system was made by Ald. Weber. It was seconded by Ald. Deneys and carried.

3. Request by the Fire Chief for a transfer of $11,500 from Contingency to Equipment Replacement for the purpose of radio replacement.

Chief Stauber said two units had failed over the Memorial Day weekend, and that two base station units had been lost over the last couple of years. Parts are very hard to come by. He said the average life cycle of these radios is 7-10 years, and the new units will be digital-capable for use in the future.
