1. Roll Call.

Roll Call was taken and all were present.

2. Request by the IT Director for approval of a contract for Internet services and connection.

IT Director Mark Delaski presented the results of an RFQ that he sent to Internet Service Providers. Mr. Delaski recommended that the City accept a five year contract with Time Warner Cable for several reasons. The bid was the lowest for a five-year contract, the company can provide surf protection and web-blocking for less than the City now pays and Time Warner will pull fiber optic cable into City Hall that will allow increased capacity in the future. Mr. Delaski recommended a 3.0 MBPS service.

A motion to approve the request by the IT Director for a five-year, 3.0 MBPS contract with Time Warner Cable for Internet Service contingent on a satisfactory contract agreement by the Law Dept was made by Ald. Weber, seconded by Ald. Theisen and carried. If an agreement can’t be reached, approval is given for a five-year, 3.0 MBPS contract with the next lowest bidder.

A motion to adjourn was made by Ald. Weber and seconded by Ald. Deneys. The motion carried and the meeting was adjourned at 6:56 p.m.
