development.

He has participated in the implementation of a wide variety of development projects,
including the construction of business parks and facilities, downtown revitalization, and
transportation improvements. He has assembled complex financing programs involving
federal and state grants, tax credits, industrial revenue bonds, local revolving loan funds,
and secondary market participation.

While employed by the federal Economic Development Administration (EDA) from 1971
to 1982 Mr. Cannon served as State Director for New Hampshire and Vermont for six
years. He worked very closely with Federal, State and iocal officials and representatives
of private financing institutions. Mr. Cannon is widely respected for his knowledge of the
New England economy and in January 1980 was appointed as Co-Chairman of the New
England Task Force on Rural Development. The purpose of this task force was to
coordinate and implement the White House Rural Development Policy

For eight years (1982 — 1890) Mr. Cannon served as a Consultant to a wide variety of
clients, including municipalities and local and regional development corporations. His
activities included planning and feasibility analyses, capital improvements planning,
implementation of urban revitalization projects, and fiscalveconomic impact evaluations.

him to access over $5,000,000 in grants in support of economic development activities in
eight communities.

During this period Mr. Cannon served as the lead consultant for the City of Lebanon, New
Hampshire in evaluating the economic, fiscal, and environmental Impacts of the
$250,000,000 Dartmouth — Hitchcock Medical Center.

Mr. Gannon joined the Capital Regional Development Council (CRDC) as its Executive

of over $150,000,000 in capital, including loans to over 200 small businesses and real
estaie development/redevelapment projects. Mr. Cannon spurred CRDC to invest in
several major projects, including:

° The Concord Airport Business Park, including the development and sale of over
30 commercialfindustrial lots and the construction of four build-to-lease buildings;

@ The $40,000,000 Brownfields redevelopment of the former Concord Lumber
Property fo the Corporate Center at Horseshoa Pond; and

@ The Plymouth Community Health Center, a non-profit medical canter financed in
large part by use of New Markets Tax Credits.

The two latter projects were each awarded “Project of the Year" status by the
Commissioner of Resources and Economic Development.

Led by Mr. Cannon, CRDC provided outreach consulting services in support of economic
I development. For example Mr. Cannon assisted several municipalities — including
Plymouth, Claremont, and Concord in establishing Tax Increment Financing Districts in
support of downtown revitalization.

During Mr. Cannon's tenure CRDC's financing and land development activities ied to the
creation and/or retention of over 10,000 jobs. While at CRDC Mr. Cannon was
responsible for obtaining over $10,000,000 in State and Federal grant (EDA, CDBG) and
tax credit (CDFA, NMTC) funds for CRDC and municipalities, In 2001 CRDC was named
iNew Hampshire's most successful regional economic development entity by Community

Development Digest.

Upon his retirement from CRDG Mr. Cannon received a special commendation from
Governor John Lynch. I

Now retired on a parttime basis, Mr. Cannon is providing project-specific consulting

April 19, 2018
TO: MAYOR Donchess
FINANCE COMMITTEE
SUBJECT: Nimble, Storage area Network (SAN)

"The Gate City"

During the past few years, the IT Department has been diligently expanding the electronic storage capacity to meet the
growing needs of the City. We have been successful in moving the various storage needs to match different types of
storage systems available. This has included adequate space dedicated to performing disk to disk backups, storing GIS
maps, storing video camera streams, and manipulating the large files created by the CTV/PEG group. We have reached the
time where we now need to expand the high speed storage area network (or SAN) needs of the City’s infrastructure.

To accomplish this, an essential additional storage shelf for our Nimble SAN array is required, This will seamlessly integrate
into the existing system which has reached 65% of its 15 terabyte (1 TB = 1,000 GB) capacity. The new shelf will add an
additional 30 terabytes of storage. Providing adequate room to grow over the next five years. This purchase will also

provide the opportunity to retire the oldest SAN unit (by HP) as it approaches its End of Life.

We have obtained three quotes and wish to purchase this hardware from SHI for the amount of $34,696.73
