            for approval in June.  He also stated that the settlement agreement with Qwest

            had been signed by the Chairman and that the attorney would be providing an

            update later in the meeting.  It was also mentioned that the Authority had paid its

            storm water bill for the quarter.

 

7)         Reports by Standing Committees:

            A -       CAD Users Group

                       
Mr. Sullivan had no report at this time.  Mr. Anderson said that he was

                        working with the IT department at CSPD on invoicing and if it would be

                        possible for vendors to invoice directly instead of reimbursing the City.

 

            B -       PSAP Managers Committee

                       
Liz Brown had no report at this time.  The next meeting is scheduled for

                        June 6th.

 

8)         Old Business:

            A -       Qwest settlement update.

 

                        This item is postponed pending the arrival of the attorney.

 

 

9)         New Business:

            A -       Consideration of terminating IGA with Colorado Springs Utilities.
                       

                        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                        updates or maintenance and it could become outdated in no time.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.

            Submitted for Approval By:

 

           

            David Felice, Authority Secretary
