Session 1683, Minutes <br />November 18, 1996 <br /> <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />A fire door to the furnace room and a fire door to the exterior shall be installed. The furnace room <br />firewall shall be reinforced. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner moved that this item be taken from the table. Mr. Schoomer seconded, and all voted Aye. <br /> <br />Mrs. Thompson moved approval, including all conditions, and Mr. Ware seconded. <br /> <br />In response to Mr. Munkel, Mr. Ollendorff said the changes added mean that the building now meets <br />state and city Fire Code requirements, <br /> <br />All voted Aye except Mr. Munkel, who voted Nay. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoomer noted that the name chosen for the day care is a sanctified Hebrew word that cannot be <br />used by Orthodox Jews in daily parlance. He said using this word is disrespectful and insulting to the <br />Orthodox Jewish community and he suggested that the operator consider choosing a different name. <br /> <br />The applicant, Ms. Judith Johnson, came forward and said she was not aware that the name was insulting <br />to Orthodox Jews, and that was certainly not her intent. <br /> <br />COMPUTER PURCHASES <br /> <br />The City Manager said bids were received from four companies for computer equipment, including <br />upgrades, networks, peripherals, and software for six departments. He recommended the following pur- <br />chases based on a combination of price, quality assurance, meeting specifications, and proven reliabililty: <br /> <br />Deputy City Manager: <br />Public Works: <br />Parks: <br />Parks: <br />Central Garage: <br />Police: <br />Purchasing: <br /> <br />Computer from ASI for $2,532 <br />Computer from Executive Personal Computers for $1,148 <br />Computer network systems hardware from Gateway 2000 for $11,606 <br />Peripheral equipment from ASI for $6,581 <br />Laptop from Global for $2,179 and scanner from ASI for $216 <br />Laptop from ASI for $2,349 <br />Printer from ASI for $937 <br /> <br />Mr. Lieberman asked if training sessions came with this equipment. Mr. Ollendorff said in all but one <br />case, the equipment is add-on so no training is required; however, training will be needed for the new <br />Park Department system, and he will check to see if it is included and report back. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoomer moved approval as recommended. Mr. Munkel seconded the motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Munkel asked if the computers were compatible with one another. Mr. Ollendorff said the ones that <br />will be part of a network are. <br /> <br /> <br />
