The meeting was called to order at 7:05pm by the Bill Tappan, chairman.

Roll call was taken and the attendees were Ken Curley, Bob Holden, Kevin Ash, Pete Jones (IT vendor) and Bill Tappan.

The minutes from the prior meeting were reviewed and accepted by the committee.

A short discussion about the town’s website revealed that nothing has happened.  The committee subsequently decided to move ahead with a design meeting on December 1st at 6pm, at Bill Tappan’s home.

 The subject of Pete Jones’ future departure was discussed and transition plan options were forwarded.  April is Pete’s tentative departure month.  The options discussed were:

1. Pete could extend his support contract with the town on a month to month basis.  Currently his support is purchased in 20 hour blocks of time.
   
2. The town can request bids from outside IT vendors to replace Pete when he leaves.
   
3. The town could combine its network support with the school district.  This option has been discussed in the past, but needs for discussions between the school board and the town selectmen to occur for it to be further developed.

No decisions were made on the plan.

Bill presented the combined town and school district network diagram mock-up to the committee. Discussion ensued about the components and a potential support model.  The conversation meandered to the town’s current maintenance arrangement and support protocols and what can be used as we move into the next framework.

The next meeting is to be held on December 16th at 7pm.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:15pm.

Respectfully Submitted,
   Bill Tappan
