During the FY2010 budget process $25,000 was requested and appropriated to install a fiber
optic cable linking the City's central campus (City Hall, Public Safety, and the Library). I still
believe this project is viable but believe a comprehensive review of the City's IT infrastructure
and operations would be more valuable and provide clearer direction for future maintenance,
upgrades, and expansion.
The City's IT needs have grown and continue to grow. Currently the City operates twelve
servers, one hundred three personal computers, sixty -six printers, three wireless access points,
and twelve mission critical applications. Security and efficiency of the network is of greatest
concern and a comprehensive study will provide the basis for future IT expenditures and
priorities.
Should the fiber optic Zink be proven to be a priority additional funds may be requested prior to
the spring construction season to complete the project or it may appear as a budget request for
FY2011.
