John Bachtold – Advance Communication – John Bachtold discussed with the Committee the new Free Space Optics option, which is basically a line of sight laser connection.

The Committee asked Bachtold if an RF connection would be a sufficient connection by itself between the courthouse and the Livingston Manor; Bachtold responded that it would be.

Results of letter of WTI Systems – Fairfield questioned if anyone had received any feedback on the letter that was sent out prohibiting offsite connections to the WTI system. The Committee received no feedback.

It was stated that there needs to be one contact person to handle all IT service calls. Currently there are a number of people who handle service for the various departments, and not all those people are familiar with the WTI system, which has in the past caused problems with compatibility. Spafford stated that we need a person either full-time or part-time to take care of all of the counties computer needs. He further stated that we need to standardize our computer equipment. The Committee felt this could eventually be a cost savings.

County Wide Radio Frequency – The Committee discussed feedback received from ETSB in regards to a county wide radio frequency which would be used in emergency/disaster situations.

Fiber Connection to new Jail – Fairfield stated that Verizon is willing to bury cable from the State Police Headquarters to the PSC and cover expenses up to $10,000, anything over $10,000 would be the counties expense. Spafford stated that he felt this would be a safer connection. Fairfield will contact Dave Mauro at Verizon to get more information.

New system for Jury Call in - Fairfield stated that currently when jurors call in to see if they need to be here, they could spend an average of an hour to an hour and a half trying to get through. Fairfield stated that there is a system available which would cost $3.00 per line per month and would accommodate eight callers at one time. Spafford questioned if this could possibly be paid for out of the automated fund.

They also indicated that the work did take a considerable amount of time longer to complete, so the department could see an increase in labor costs compared to what was originally quoted.

The information presented at this meeting was FYI as there wasn’t enough committee members present for a quorum.

Fairfield stated that the connection of cables from the courthouse to probation will be finished today.

John Sear gave a presentation on his proposal for connecting all the county offices to the courthouse and run over the internet. He recommended connecting all off site facilities with one connection coming into each off site facility and connecting to the courthouse through a tunnel. He explained that redundancy is built into the network. He stated that by running everything through the tunnel from each off site facility internet usage can be monitored. He stated that VPN Solutions is very secure. He stated that this setup is movable and manageable should new facilities need to be added and that there is always room for growth on VPN Solutions. He said that there would only be a monthly internet charge of $75.00 per location and probably $150.00 for Livingston Manor. The cost for a business grade firewall $2,000.00, $350.00 for each office and $1,000.00 for software for the firewall.

John Bachtold gave a presentation on wireless connections. He stated that with wireless you gain speed and it is a cost saver over time. He stated that it is also a secure system. He said the goal is to connect all off site connections to the courthouse to replace fundware network that the county is currently paying for. He stated that it is a reliable, secure, high bandwidth solution that can be purchased. He said that if you didn’t have a maintenance contract a per hour charge would ensue.
