Library Jackie Rafferty and Carolyn Coffey
The need to replace a 15 year old Audio Visual system was presented. We asked for
detailed specifications and a quotation which Jackie Rafferty agreed to provide. We
also questioned the ability of any new system to tie in with the town's IT structure. It was
agreed this would be provided.
A discussion was held on future plans to renovate/redesign the Library. Currently plans
for renovation/construction are being worked on. Target date to start would possibly be
FY2019. Potential funding sources are: capital Stabilization, Library Trust, CPC, and
grants.
IT Ron Menard
Ron presented a list of projects desiring funding in FY18. The only 2 he really was
conversant on were replacement of end user devices and LAN upgrades.
End user devices are all 6-7 years old with older unsupported operation systems which
are no longer supported or compatible with our network. It is more economical to
replace rather than continuing totry and accommodate.
LAN upgrades involve switched and access points which are being discovered as
departments are added to trhe LAN.
The remaining items(Digital signage, electronic data management, and camera
surveillance) need some justification from the end users. Both Ron and CB agreed it was
not his responsibility to advocate for items he was not familiar with. Both Ron and Sam
will talk with the town manager about the support of these items.
Follow-ups
Follow-ups for the schools and DPW were discussed and amended where necessary.
Brian will send on School and Sam will send on DPW
Next meeting was scheduled for February 13, 2017. There being no further business we
voted to adjourn at 21 :45.
