Wireless Update: The Highway Department Clerical Staff and Dave Lambert were in attendance to discuss the problems
that have occurred during the connecting process of the wireless. Jeff Anderson explained some of the difficulties that
the IT Office has had in setting the system up. The time out setting were set to low; there were some configuration
problems in setting up. Jeff admitted that sometimes through the process the line of communications were not where
they should have been. Jeff went on to say that now, Highway Department is done and ADRC is done and at this time
both seem to working fine. Social Services still does not have BadgerNet working, IT is working to compile the list of
applications that will need to be routed in the system.
Orchard Manor Update: Jeff Anderson gave the update on the Orchard Manor System. All the equipment is in and the
software is in place and the trainings are finished. The time clock is taking longer because all the employees’
information has to be keyed into the system first. There was an issue with the COWs, Computers On Wheels, timing out
as they are walking around the halls. Jeff thought this might be due to not enough overlapping in the wireless system.
The Thin-clients have not been completed at this time. A trainer will have to come out and enter the medicine and
prescription information which may happen the week of Thanksgiving week.
Health Department Software Update: Adam has been assisting with most of the Health Department trainings. Thing
are going fine. The staff may not have been fully aware of all that had to be entered to get the system up and running.
Adjournment: Kyle Vesperman, seconded by Julia Clark, made a motion to adjourn the meeting with the next meeting
time on December 4th, 2009 at 1:00 p.m. Motion carried.
