COMPUTERS The City's computer system had some very beneficial upgrades done this week. On Saturday, Dave Johnson (our computer guru from Multi-Tech) and I upgraded the computer network software to enable more users to access the file server at a time. We were having problems because of the limited software that was being used. It did not allow all users to access the file server. On Wednesday, the new tape back-up system was successfully installed. It will allow each computer that is attached to the network to be backed up more easily and quickly. We are doing some test runs, but by early nextlweek, all networked computers (which is almost all) will be backed up routinely. • Tim C. PARKS • RECREATION FORESTRY PARKS: Because of the lasting cold weather, the rinks will be able to stay open longer than usual. Although the budget appropriates for supervised rinks until February 13, I am sure that we will be able to extend this date until after President's Day on Monday, February 21 , 1994 - a day when all students are home from school. Ice rink melting occurs when temperatures become warmer, but also when the sunshine is longer and stronger each day nearer to Spring time. The evaporation begins to take a toll on ice during these changing season conditions. However, as long as the weather continues to be cold, we can continue to flood the rinks to keep the evaporation element in check. Steve has been working with contractors for estimates on water, sewer and natural gas services to the park buildings. He is collecting price estimates and information for the grant and also for our files.
