8) Old Business:
A - Qwest settlement update.

9) New Business:
A - Consideration of terminating IGA with
Certain issues are driving consideration of terminating the IGA. One
is that the South Central All Hazards Region would like our street
centerline data free of charge for their five county database, but
Colorado Springs Utilities would like payment for the data. Before
releasing any data, Utilities would like to know specifically what data
South Central is seeking, how the data will be used, and who it will be
released to. So far these questions have not been answered. It was
discussed that if the IGA is terminated the Authority will own the current
data set but will get no further data from Colorado Springs Utilities, but
would be free to do with as they wished. It was also mentioned that if
South Central were to obtain the desired data there is no plan in place for
updates
or maintenance and it could become outdated in no time.
Motion was made by David Felice to vacate this item at this time;
seconded by Paul Zani.
Motion passed unanimously on voice vote by the 7 Authority Members
present.
8A - Qwest
settlement update.
Mr. Cole reported that Tim Sullivan had signed the Qwest settlement
agreement but that there needed to be clarification on getting updates
to the database at no cost so a new agreement will need to be signed.
It was also discussed that wireless cost recovery had not been addressed
in the settlement so that issue could possibly come up again at some
point in time. The attorney will keep the Authority board updated.
In other business, two covers for the annual report was put before the
Authority and one was chosen for the 2006 Annual Report.
11) Adjournment:
A motion was made by Bill
Beahan to adjourn the meeting; second by Bud
Silloway.
Meeting was adjourned at 2:43 PM.
