Mr. Kooken
Inaudible.
Mr. Bruce Codagnone, IT Division Director
The bid that was on the summary sheet was for the implementation services and then there is a yearly amount
that is re-occurring so that has to cover that as well.
Chairman Cookson
So the yearly amount is the difference between the $125,000 and the $136,500?
Mr. Codagnone
That’s right it’s roughly about $11,000 per year.

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Siegel
This is HD capable equipment but is Comcast going to give us a slot to have government TV in HD?
Mr. Codagnone
They will in the future but not right now. This is going to provide HD over the internet so not only can we
stream our website on HD but we also have the capability of doing ROKU and HULO channels through our
streaming as well.
Alderman Siegel
Are we going to post our meetings to You Tube in HD since it’s publicly available?
Mr. Codagnone
Yes, we will be. We are going to archive it internally on the new system here as well but we have the capability
of creating You Tube channels. There are two parts to this problem, one is the equipment is getting old which
is Tightrope and it is only low def. The other part is the vendor that we are currently using, Easy Stream are
going out of business doing this service. We have an immediate need right now to at least have the archived
videos out there and we will create a You Tube channel for those to be stored. Easy Stream is ending on
12/31/16 and we won’t have this in place for the immediate need so we will be putting all of the archives up on
You Tube.
