get an answer--so the question was, whether or not we were going to provide that support or <br />would we provide some type of Q & A, would they call the elections office? And the question <br />is, is this a service that you think would be useful, so the community could have access to <br />somebody who could help address the issues that they had in doing this? IsnÓt that what this was <br />really about? This was money we were going to spend on community accessibility and for <br />answering questions from the community. Or, was this for the Elections offices being able to <br />access Esri to help produce maps, or do something else? <br />MS. NAKAMOTO: No, it was not for the Elections office, it was mainly for th <br />and the public. <br /> <br />MR. MELROSE <br />: So the reason why we would ask; he offered his companyÓs ongo <br />to help make this a successful venture. That is what I heard him telling us. The price is <br />irrelevant to me itÓs whether or not the support for the communityÓs engagement in this <br />conversation would be adequate to meet their needs. So, IÓm more prone to say I would rather <br />spend this money so the community cannot later say, ÐThere was nobody to help us,Ñ which is an <br />important place not to be. <br /> <br />MS. POINDEXTER <br />: But what about the original contract, then, the contract that <br />licenses for us. Where is that contract, is something included in that for support? I havenÓt seen <br />that contract; itÓs a big contract they have with the State, IÓm assuming. Is that correct? <br />MS. NAKAMOTO <br />: Yes. The contract is with the State, and the State has provided the County <br />with the software and with the license. The County has not expended any money for the <br />software or the license. <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: In that contract, was there an agreement that theircompany would provide <br />certain services to the County? <br />MS. NAKAMOTO: No, I donÓt believe so. <br />MS. POINDEXTER: You donÓt believe so, or there wasnÓt? <br /> <br />MS. NAKAMOTO: No, there wasnÓt. So, with Mr. Rosenbrock and Royce Jones coming and <br />providing the services that they provided, they did it on their own. <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: IÓm wondering here, and IÓm looking at this, and they are talking about <br />having a GIS Consultant Project Manager, a Senior Consultant Project Manager, a Principal GIS <br />Consultant Project Manager, a GIS Technical Specialist Engineer, a GIS System Software <br />Developer, a Senior GIS System Software Architect, and a GIS Data Base Specialist Analyst. <br />Do we need all of that just to answer some questions we may be having a little problem online? <br />MR. MIDDLESWORTH: René that is just what is available. <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: IÓm trying to get a handle on this. I donÓt understand. <br />14 <br /> <br />
