The request of the Administrative Director for authorization to
proceed with updating telephone equipment, including voice mail,
was reviewed. Digital Communications has submitted a proposal in
the amount of $288, 389 . All city departments were invited to
Digital Communications located at 425 Franklin for a demonstration
of the new equipment and to view voice mail . An inventory has been
completed on all telephones used by all city departments which
enabled Digital to come up with a cost to purchase the new
equipment . Upon review of the phone system, the emergency
situation at the Police and Fire Departments became apparent . With
the relocation of the dispatch services from both departments,
there is a need for a voice mail system (automated attendant) to
answer the thousands of calls generated to those departments on
second and third shift . The transfer of all dispatch functions and
personnel takes place in January 1996, which hastened the need to
update the equipment . An amount of $159, 792 would need to be
bonded as part of the Capital Equipment Program and is currently
included in the list for council' s consideration. The Building and
Grounds Committee reviewed this request at their November 20, 1995
committee meeting and recommended approval . A date of hearing is
being set for December 4 , 1995 to proceed with the purchase of the
new equipment, including voice mail . Moved by Mollenhoff, seconded
by Krizek that said request be approved, subject to submittal of a
Financial Statement by Digital Communications . Ayes : Two.
Absent : Anders . Motion carried.
Moved by Mollenhoff, seconded by Krizek that the request of the
