MIS MEETING MINUTES <br /> 40 Wednesday, December 17, 1997 @ 1:30pm <br /> Present: Tim Ericson, Jim Hess, Tracy Juell, Bruce Kessel <br /> Absent: Mary Johnson, Bob Nelson, Chuck Whiting <br /> Jim Hess updated the group on the Internet: the Internet is connected via a dedicated cable <br /> provided by the Cable company. At this point we have one designated computer with Internet <br /> and it is located at the cubicle in front of Tracy Sanchez. Soon individual workstations will have <br /> Internet capabilities. We are waiting for the Cable company to work out their"kinks" and for <br /> Multi Tech to supply Fire Wall protection. Tim Hess gave the group handouts on Software Suites <br /> and Unlicensed Software installation on computers. The unlicensed software installs is a big <br /> concern; it was decided that every MIS member keeps an"eye on the surrounding computers in <br /> their departments." The fines are very substantial for usage of unlicensed software. <br /> Tracy Juell asked how they pay software/hardware updates to individual computers. MIS fund? <br /> Individual budgets? Bruce Kessel explained that it would be on an individual department basis <br /> and that the departments should submit the reasonsand costs for the updates; at that point, Jim <br /> Hess and Bruce Kessel will decide. <br /> Jim Ericson asked if there was a list of computers that need to be updated or replaced. Bruce <br /> Kessel stated that there are two new computers in the 1998 budget. Jim Ericson said that Steve <br /> • Dorgan in Community Development is very proficient with ArcView software and his present <br /> computer cannot hold the program now. What about Cathy Bennett's computer, could they <br /> give that to Steve? Bruce Kessel stated that was a possibility and Jim Hess said he would look <br /> into what it would take to update the existing computers to run ArcView and Windows NT. <br /> Jim Hess suggested that when the Internet is up and running smoothly, we should have a <br /> demonstration for those who may need it. We all agreed that would be a good idea. <br /> Meeting adjourned at 2:30pm. The next meeting is scheduled for January 21, 1998 at 1:30pm. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Tracy Juell, Recording Secretary <br /> a'k r rt -1�J d <br /> ully <br /> • <br />
