Mapping Project
Benny Escutia,
the Verizon Project Manager, addressed the Board
as to progress being made. He said a long distance carrier would have to be
chosen by the Board. He reported that conference calls have begun to discuss
the various agencies’ responsibilities. Joan Berkes-Hanson, Director of
IMO, supplied a suggested time line and project task chart for the project to
follow. Gary Hanson queried Escutia as to when he would produce
item #3 on the chart, which was the questionnaire from MicroData to IMO.
Escutia said he would try to get it yet today. Concern was also expressed
that the data and phone lines would be installed, the Board billed for them,
prior to them being used in the project. Escutia said that he would notify
Kross, prior to the lines going into service as contracted. Olson
said he would like to have someone from MicroData at the next meeting. Kross
said he would express that to them.
