Mayor Grose asked the Town Manager and Town Attorney to prepare a letter or resolution expressing Council's discontent with the new law and to bring the matter back to Council for consideration at a future Council meeting.

The new Ordinance includes a definition of "plainly audible" and several references refer to distance of 50 feet or more. Another option is decibel levels, but Attorney Dillon would not recommend that option. Mr. Nance referenced Section 34-26(6) and asked if there should be a distance i requirement in that Section.

Thompson, Treasurer DATE: August 31, 2011 SUBJECT: Application Hosting and Technology Support Systems and Services Agreement ISSUE/PURPOSE: To authorize the Town Manager to sign an agreement between ACS Enterprise Solutions, Inc. ("ACS") and the Town of Vinton for application hosting and technology support system and services for the ACS Financial Application Software, ACTION REQUESTED: To authorize the Town Manager to sign the agreement between ACS Enterprise Solutions, Inc, for the three (3) year period beginning October 1, 2011, JUSTIFICATION/: The concept ot'application hosting and technology support and application service support was discussed with Council during our recent Budget Work Sessions. The funding has been put in the budget for the first year. The Finance Department would be terminating our current Software Service/Support Agreements with ACS and IBM for Support on the AS400. The AS400 would be retired which was purchased in February 2003. The software would be hosted over the Internet. ACS would also provide our disaster recovery in the event of a system failure which at the current time we are very limited. They would be doing our backups and providing all updates to the software on a timely basis which currently we have been relying on Town personnel and have found that the updates have not been done properly and the system is lacking in feat ures/capabi I iti es that should be available to our employees. Ifthe agreement is signed in September we will move to the hosting of the application software in October and be off of the AS400 by the end of October, I am looking for some possible buyer for the AS400 to see if there is any potential value that can be salvaged from the equipment.
