Moved by Jordan, seconded by Krizek that the Minutes of March 1, 1999, as proposed, be
• approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
The request of the Manager of Information Services to upgrade Internet proxy server was
reviewed. The Internet Proxy server provides both access to and protection from the Internet. It
is used by every department on the city network. The current configuration is restricted to 25
simultaneous users. Currently there are 32 users on the system, resulting in frequent error
messages that the user could not be logged into the system to check for Internet E-mail. In
addition, the disk drive storage space is inadequate for the level of usage. This request is to
upgrade the server to a larger, faster computer with 50 users and the ability to add up to a total of
125 users in the future. Total cost for the project is $4,842.00. Funding is available from the
General Obligation Bond Fund for the Network Computer Plan Year Three. These funds were
originally planned for a data projector, which will be moved to next fiscal year. This request was
reviewed and approved by the Computer Technical Review Committee.
Councilperson Krizek asked why the city needs that many users on the Internet and why we need
more than one user per department.
Jim Quint, Manager of Information Services, stated that this is a vital source of information, and
that he has not seen excessive abuse.
Councilperson Gronen asked what percent of the users use the Internet for E-mail and what
percent use the Internet to collect information.
Moved by Jordan, seconded by Krizek that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion
carried.
