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