Mayor Donchess
And why don’t you give a brief explanation as to what Cartegraph is?
Mr. Codagnone
Well Cartegraph at this time is used mostly for the assets tracking within DPW and it is also used as a means
for citizens to report whether there’s a pothole or tree down or damage. So it’s a work order system for our
DPW for those types of activities. The expanded use would be to be able to track sewer pipes and water
mains and everything else that goes on within the City. So there’s a large use that can be utilized that we are
not really taking advantage of right now for the City and Cartegraph.
Mayor Donchess
Alright, thank you; questions/comments.
Alderwoman Lu

Mayor Donchess
Please go ahead.
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you. How long have we been using Cartegraph?
Mr. Codagnone
| think it’s been about 4, maybe 5 years now.
Alderwoman Lu
And my — a couple of concerns | have is for some reason | couldn’t find — | know the backup said that we had
renewed the contract in August, is that right? OK, was that through the Finance Committee of the Board of
Aldermen?
Mr. Codagnone
It’s not really renewing the contract, we pay maintenance every year. So we paid the maintenance for that in
August.
Alderwoman Lu
Oh, ok, ok. | thought that the contract was renewed and voted on. A couple of things | want to point out is it
just seems we have been using them for about 3 or 4 years. How much do they cost a year?
Mr. Codagnone
Well the software | think is a little over $100,000.00 a year.
Alderwoman Lu
Yeah | saw $110,000.00 to the (audio cuts out). And they are going to charge us $480.00 an hour to teach us
