ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
And | believe Karen Smith is here or someone else from the Police Department?
Peter Cinfo, IT Manager, Nashua Police Department
I’m here, Peter Cinfo, IT Manager over at the Police Department.
Mayor Donchess
Alright could you just explain this item for us please?
Mr. Cinfo
Sure this is the software, annual maintenance for our records management and dispatching software. So it
covers updates, support, typical software maintenance type.
Mayor Donchess
Alright. Anybody have any questions or comments for Mr. Cinfo? Alderman O’Brien?
Alderman O’Brien
Thank you. My question is to Peter if | may, Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Donchess
Yes.
Alderman O’Brien
Some of these things are germane to the Emergency Services Division such as the Police and Fire. | just
wondered with the two IT Departments, are we trying to get to a common goal where we can try to look to
maybe get one canned type of program that would satisfy both Fire and Police needs or are there still priorities
that each one has individually that it is just a dream. | just wondered if that could save us money in the future.
Mr. Cinfo
Sure, yeah. We haven’t thoroughly had that conversation but one of the biggest challenges | would say we
have at this point in the game is the two separate dispatch centers. So Fire, as you know, has their own
dispatch area as well as Police so | think until we have conversations of how we handle that, there will
probably a degree of separation there.
Alderman O’Brien
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Alderwoman Klee?
