Date of next meeting will be Sept . 7th at 9 : 00 a.m.
VISIONS UPDATE: Hillstead reported we had a representative from V
Visions come to each department and went over all the difficulties
they were having. The server was not big enough and that is part
of the problem. The training was also inadequate. The
representative had individual training and corrected a lot of the
problems . We need to upgrade eleven computers at a cost of $2840
so that all the computers will be the same. These lower grade
computers are creating some of the problems . After the upgrade,
we will switch to the new system and everything should be
operational . Motion by Mehls/Rose to approve $2840 from the
Confiscated Drug Fund for these purchases. Carried.
SECURITY CAMERAS : Dave Best came before the board to explain the
bids he has received for the cameras . He presented two sealed
bids to the committee . The first bid was from Egad Automation of
Maple Grove, MN. The second bid was from Pro-Tec Design Inc of
Minneapolis . Each had a base bid to just replace what we already
have and an alternate bid to include the base bid plus
installation of another 29 cameras . Discussion as to where the
funds will come from was held. Consensus of the committee is to
go with the alternate project. Motion by Mehls/Wentz to approve
the bid following a meeting with Best, Hillstead and Humphrey to
examine the bids and determine which bid is the best package.
Carried.
MEDICAL EXAMINER' S REPORT: Chair Speer reported on the autopsy in
Shanklin' s absence. Motion by Wentz/Gunderson to approve the
bills of $5069. 61 . Carried.
CHILD SUPPORT: Holmes explained the need for eight new Mitel
phones in her office for $357 each. Wentz/Rose made the motion to
approve this purchase because she has this amount in the Child
Support budget . Robole informed Lynn that we do not have enough
phone cards to accommodate these additional phones . Holmes has
enough in her budget to purchase this card also. She would want
the maintenance department to reimburse her for this card from
next year' s budget . Motion by Speer/Mehls to use $1500 from the
