CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />APPROVED <br />May 7, 2018 <br />43 Mayor Reinert said it is valuable for the council to have information on these services <br />44 regularly. As a follow up, he would like information on the services used by the City and <br />45 a comparison to what those would cost through the private sector. He sees that with this <br />46 IT organization being developed over quite a few years, efficiencies have evolved and he <br />47 compliments Mr. Heiser on that. <br />48 <br />49 Council Member Stoesz asked if there are any organizations that are ditching their land <br />50 line phone service in lieu of cell phones. Mr. Heiser said not so much because the job <br />51 duties are still mainly desk oriented and the cost for landlines is significantly lower. Mr. <br />52 Heiser added that the Cisco Jabber program that is provided by Metro INET allows <br />53 transmission of a land line call to a cell phone. <br />54 <br />55 Mr. Heiser also provided information to the council on how Metro INET limits the type <br />56 of equipment used to control what touches the network. He also noted that the <br />57 organization is working on their next strategic plan. <br />58 <br />59 Council Member Stoesz asked what the council can do to educate and train the City staff <br />60 to keep them up to date on technology. Mr. Heiser suggested that training generally <br />61 comes through Roseville as a conduit; using Laserfiche as an example, there are many <br />62 training resources out there that they can share with users; that also serves to share <br />63 experiences among members. <br />64 <br />65 Mr. Heiser updated the council on efforts to keep all equipment upgraded, in particular to <br />66 Windows 10. They've replaced 400 machines since the first of the year. <br />67 <br />68 Council Member Manthey asked about how appropriate security is provided and Mr. <br />69 Heiser explained that keeping consistency has been a key element in that area. <br />70 2. 49/J Development Concept -Community Development Director Grochala <br />71 reviewed the background information/history on this area, including the master planning <br />72 study approved by the City Council in 2007. He noted that the senior housing provider <br />73 Lyngblomsten is proposing development of a new campus at the area. <br />74 <br />75 Representatives of Lyngblomsten and a real estate representative addressed the council. <br />76 Using a PowerPoint presentation (on file), they reviewed their preliminary concept, <br />77 noting that they are seeking council comments. The presentation included information <br />78 on: <br />79 <br />80 - the Lyngblomsten organization, including history, origin and existing facilities; <br />81 - providing a continuum of care is their goal; <br />82 - a new model of services was launched last year that includes volunteer involvement and <br />83 utilization of existing services in the community; <br />84 - they provide all levels of care. <br />85 <br />86 Mayor Reinert asked about the types of units involved. He is particularly interested in <br />2 <br />
