Administrative Director Bob Stevenson reviewed the auto attendant
and voice mail policy.
Councilperson Mollenhoff now present at 4:48 p.m.
The policy has been developed by staff with input from Digital
Communications and Councilpersons Getty and Anders. Councilperson
Anders stated that the policy covers all items and should help to
ensure that all messages recorded on voice mail will be
professional. Moved by Krizek, seconded by Anders that the auto
attendant and voice mail policy be placed on the council agenda for
Monday, April 8, 1996. Ayes: Five. Absent: Murphy, Collier.
Motion carried.
The schedule for installation of telephone equipment and voice mail
was reviewed. The first telephones will be installed on the first
floor of city hall on Thursday, April 18, 1996 with the last to be
installed at the Street Department on Thursday, July 18, 1996.
Mr. Stevenson reviewed the payment schedule for the new system.
The contract with Digital states that 35 percent ($75,000) shall be
paid upon execution of the contract with the remaining amount to be
paid when all the equipment is installed. The other option is to
pay as each segment of installation is completed. It was the
consensus of the council to pay the $75,000 now and the rest upon
completion. Mr. Stevenson asked for input from the council on the
purchase of a maintenance agreement. The equipment is under
warranty for one year from the date of installation. The cost to
purchase a maintenance agreement after the first year is $8,000 for
the equipment and $6,000 for the voice mail. Mayor Rooff suggested
that a meeting be scheduled with Digital to review the maintenance
agreement.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by
Jordan, seconded by Anders that the meeting be adjourned at 4:58
p.m. Ayes: Five. Absent: Murphy, Collier. Motion carried.
