The request of the Assistant City Planner for authorization to purchase ArcView software upgrades at a cost of $1,035.95 was reviewed. The Engineering, Planning and Community Development Office currently have three licensed copies of ArcView, a software product by ESRI. The program is used, along with the data from the 28E Agreement with Black Hawk County, for multiple tasks, including assisting in mailing notices to property owners for the various requests from the general public and creation of informational maps. One copy is a version 3.2 and the other two are version 8.1. Recently ERSI released a version 8.2. This product retails for $1,800.00 but can be purchased as an upgrade for existing ArcView users for $400.00. The purchases will bring all three licenses up to the current version and will also put the software on a maintenance agreement that will allow for tech support and free upgrades for any additional versions that come out within one year. The Computer Technical Review Committee reviewed and recommended approval of the request on January 13, 2003. GO Bond funds will be used to purchase the upgrades. Moved by Getty, seconded by Hurley that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The Memorandum of Agreement with the Transportation Security Administration to provide law enforcement at the Waterloo Regional Airport was reviewed. In May 2002 the Police Department was charged with the responsibility of providing law enforcement at the Waterloo Regional Airport. A Memorandum of Agreement with the Transportation Security Administration, the Waterloo Regional Airport and the Police Department was entered into at that time. Police Officers received a 2 percent wage increase effective on January 1, 2003. The wage increase requires the city to modify the agreement with the Transportation Security Administration to reflect that change. This raises the Police Department's daily operating costs to from $508.09 to $518.32. Due to the increase, a modified Memorandum of Agreement must be signed. Moved by Hurley, seconded by Getty that said Memorandum of Agreement be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
