1. Network Infrastructure, Projects and Services:
Fiber installation from City Hall to Sansom Trail is complete. It is anticipated to be finish the install to
the Water Treatment Plant in the next 2 weeks. Next step is to pull fiber in the conduit and terminate.
Staff are looking at ways to improve the delivery of audio and video in Legion Hall to make it easier to
present for both Council and Citizenry to hear what is going on during proceedings.
Rollout of the Docusign secure electronic signature application will happen in September.
2. Broadband Task Force:
The State of Idaho has formed a Broadband Task Force to explore internet connectivity solutions
statewide. They are considering proposals for both rural as well as metropolitan areas. The InfoSys
Manager was asked to present an overview of our project and its challenges at the last meeting.
Additionally, the Task Force is asking if the City of McCall would like to hold one of the co-Chair
positions of the Rural branch of the Task Force. They will meet an additional 2-3 times before making
recommendations.
3. Software Applications and Services:
The City has been upgraded to the new Microsoft Teams phone platform. This links together Office
365 with the phone application.
The City Process Evaluation (CPE) has completed the first round of interviews with all the Departments.
The findings have been presented to the City Manager and anticipate moving forward with some of the
forms and process automation as we head into Fall.
