Alderman Caron
| was going to ask the same question that Alderman O’Brien asked. | think it’s important that we get the best
that we can. My concern is the 34-week turn-a-round and in the meantime if we have any major breakdowns
then it’s going to cost us even more money. | also understand Alderman Siegel’s concern but my concern is
having staff being stuck in the elevator for two or three hours.

ON THE QUESTION
Mr. Angelo Marino, GIS Manager
This is the renewal of the, at the same price, for the software that we have been paying for the last three years.
It allows for us to provide licenses to anyone in the city who wants one as well as allows us to publish
information to be placed in all of the web maps that we create.
Alderman Siegel
| am in favor of this purchase but | want to note that this is actually a three-year contract. The $25,000 is per
year and it’s half of the $50,000 that we actually pay as a licensing fee and the other half is going to be paid by
Pennichuck and we will be able to share the data back and forth which is good. | just want to be clear that this
is not a one-time purchase of $25,000 and that’s why we need to get the full Board’s approval.
