STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC (AGENDA ITEMS ONLY)
There were no statements from the public.
NEW BUSINESS
Agenda Item 1:
Standardize the purchase of CISCO networking equipment.
Mr. Kamelamela made a motion to approve the item and it was seconded by Mr. Sewake.
Major Burian would like to continue having good quality equipment and a reliable network for
the Police department.
Ms. Sako reminded the committee that they approved CISCO and Alcatel for the Department of
Information and Technology (IT) in the beginning of this year. Ms. Sako spoke to the IT
department regarding the Police Department's request and they are fine with it. In the case of
the network failing, between the two departments, they will have back-up switches to use from
each other.
Ms. Sako stated the IT department does the whole county but Police, Prosecutors', and Housing
have their own system. This will make the system in the county a little more uniformed and
complete.
Ms. Sako asked if there were any questions.
Mr. Kamelamela asked Major Burian if there were any other vendors that provide this kind of
system and Major Burian answered, yes:
Ms. Sako said they are not looking to sole source but just to standardized the equipment.
Mr. Sewake questioned if they utilize the VoIP for their phone system.
Major Burian said certain stations do but not the main station.
Mr. Kamelamela enquired on how long the department used the CISCO system and Major
Burian said in an excess of 10 years and, it's still holding up but aged and slow. Police has been
able to borrow some CISCO equipment pieces from IT already.
Major Burian stated they need to bring their current CISCO network up to speed especially with
the new records management, Spillman system the department is using which has an effect on
the level of traffic on the network.
Ms. Sako asked if there were any other questions. No other questions.
The Committee voted and motion was carried.
