The <br />planning session will be designed to review applications that may <br />be enabled via wireless technology and their potential benefits. <br />During the strategic planning session, we will focus on: <br />• Reviewing wireless opportunities in Saint Anthony Village. <br />• Using wireless for public safety. <br />• Exploring applications enabled with wireless technologies. <br />• Understanding the current telecommunications <br />environment in Saint Anthony Village. <br />• Exploring perceived service and availability_gaps. <br />• Exploring fit of wireless with Saint Anthony Village's <br />overall connectivity strategy. <br />• Outlining potential next steps. <br />The starting point in <br />exploring wireless is <br />understanding new <br />applications that are <br />enabled by wireless <br />technologies and that will <br />transform the way <br />government conducts <br />business. Focusing on the <br />enabled applications allow <br />choices to be driven by <br />needs, not the <br />technology. <br />We will also provide educational information and insights regarding wireless and other <br />technologies in this session. We have conducted similar strategic planning sessions for <br />numerous other communities as they examine WiFi and other wireless solutions. We find that <br />sessions like this lead to clarity, purpose, and help to define the next steps in the planning <br />process. <br />Per your discussion with Ms. Johnson, the fees for conducting this session will be $1,500 to <br />cover our time and expenses. <br />Ten Terrace Court • PO Box 7398 • Madison, WI 53707 -7398 • Tel 608.249.6622 • Fax 608.249.8532 • www.virchowkrause.com <br />Virchow, Krause & Company, LLP <br />Certified Public Accountants & Consultants • An Independent Member of Baker Tilly International <br />
