Minutes:
Police Department:
Chief Quigley presented to the CBC following topics.
Front Line Vehicle Replacement: Police is requesting (2) 2017 Ford Explorers at a cost of
$42,452 per vehicle to replace a 2012 Tahoe (150K miles) that will be retired from the
fleet and a 2013 Tahoe (135K miles) that will be rotated from sector duty to replace
2006 Crown Victoria (140K miles) currently being used by the detective lieutenant. The
CBC requested and the Chief and the Town Manager agreed to turn on the onboard
telemetric systems to test the value of the data gathered by these systems. The
department has decided to standardize on Ford Vehicles for the foreseeable future.
No votes were taken.
IT Update from Town Manager:
CBC has not been successful in scheduling Ron Menard to present IT Request so the
Town Manager gave the CBC a layman's distillation of the projects. This summary was
for information purposes only and no votes were taken.
Digital Signage for Town Hall is not a priority item. The displays under consideration are
approximately $10K (hardware and software) and could be used to communicate with
town hall visitors and provide some self-service capabilities.
Electric Data Storage for the maintenance of Town Records as described in the For Your
Information Act is in the early stages of investigation. CBC recommended that
individual departments complete an in depth needs assessment and those assessments
be combined to ensure the solution selected meets all department requirements.
Website forms completed directly by residents were suggested as a way to collect data
at its source rather than paper forms that require data entry.
Security Cameras have been proposed for 5 locations (Recreation, Library, Senior
Center, Public Works and RTF. Recreation is like schools in terms of security profile, with
youth programs run both during the school year and the summers. Cameras are being
requested for external and internal use: (2) external on the playground and basketball
court and (3) internal including the main entrance.
The Library, which is connected to the Recreation Space has requested cameras on
external doors and stairs. Unlike schools and recreation the library, although it does
have youth programs, is a public space so privacy is an issue.
The Senior Center has cameras but only real time feed not recorded. Cameras on the
exterior are being requested. As the parking lot is used for swim center and music
circus events, cameras would provide added security for the center.
There is currently no security at the Public Works and RTF facilities. There is expense
equipment stored at both these sites, and cameras may also be useful at the RTF for
determent and enforcement purposes.
The CBC voted to accept the Minutes from 2/27/17 with one change (Steinmetz to
Gjestby).
The CBC voted to accept the Minutes from 3/6/17 with one change (Steinmetz to

voted to adjourn at 21 :36.
