REGULAR MEETING DEPARTMENT HEAD INFORMATION TECH.
Jim Goeben, IT Director explained that he had received a request
from Public Works to purchase a 34 inch ultra-curved 4K screen. He
explained that they are very expensive and not what they typically
purchase. He asked the Board for direction/confirmation of his role
in overseeing these types of purchases prior to him contacting the
Public Works Director to discuss the purchase.
Commissioner O’Brien stated he was not in favor of the purchase,
however if it was for ADA he could support the request.
Commissioner Osiadacz and Chairman Jewell stated that they trusted
Director Cooks judgement and felt that if they (DPW) have the funds
to purchase what is needed then they were in support of the request.
They both indicated that if there were still outstanding concerns
after the discussion with Director Cook then the Board would like to
hear those. They encouraged Mr. Goeben to explore options once he
hears why the request is being put forward and to find the best
option for the best price.
The Board discussed the issues I.T. is having with rain coming into
the basement and discussed the solutions and costs associated with
them. The Board directed Staff to compile the costs of all ideas and
compare them for what would aid in the best rainwater diversion set
up for the location and comeback and report to the Board.
Meeting adjourned at 9:50 a.m.
