Communications - None

Soaring Issue - Pate explained the communications he has had with the vendor. Vendor is discontinuing support for product. Pate wants to keep system up and running. The vendor is willing to turn code over to Sauk County. Pate is talking with Travis, who has worked for that vendor to see if he is interested in doing some consultant work for the County. This would be for the Treasurer's Dept. Register of Deeds is thinking about abandoning that project. Tri-Min, another vendor, may be the solution for the Register of Deeds project.

Melyx System - Buttonow, the Business Manager for HCC, does not think the system works well for their needs. She created a list of issues to be given to the vendor. Pate forwarded these on to Melyx. Discussion followed.

Donation of County computer equipment - Pate handed out evaluation criteria for the Donation Application & Agreement. Gaalswyk asked if Liebman had approved this. Pate advised that Liebman will do a final review. Motion to approve revised policy by Krueger, seconded by Gaalswyk. Stoeckmann asked how people will know about this and Pate suggested a News Release and an announcement on the website.

Update on Supervisor's Email - Ameri handed out documentation on how to access the County email via the Internet. Pate explained that this can be accessed immediately.

Update on Communication Infrastructure - Pate said resolution will be going to the County Board next week. It will be decided then whether the County will finance a 9 or 10 tower system. A point that Liebman brought up is that this should not have to go through Board of Adjustment once it goes through County Board since the Board of Adjustment is a sub-committee of the County Board. The resolution is whether or not to acquire land in Spring Green to build a tower on. Discussion followed.

Web-posting issues - Pate explained how the database is working to track the postings of Minutes and Agendas to the website.
