Mr.

President, Mr.

Ronald, I didn't see a contract.

Did y'all just decide we're not going to do a contract on this one?

I guess that's y'all's position.

Yeah, I think just someone.

Okay.

Um so I you know, I I think this is a departure from the way we ordinarily conduct these sort of contracts, uh performance contracts where we generally have a you know a contract in place, although I understand this does represent a contract, but it's not the sort of typical contract that we see.

I mean, for example, you know, they they say we we should have this done in 90 days.

I mean we don't need to be getting into these situations where we're just sort of working on trust.

I don't think that's a good public policy.

I think we should have it spelled out line for line, what the expectation is.

There's no ambiguity about it.

There's you know, completion times that we know we're sure about.

There's ways to resolve dispute, so on and so forth.

I know this is a small amount of money, but you know, if if we're gonna use it for this, why wouldn't we use it for big contracts?

You know, so I just I think we should execute a more detailed contract versus just accepting their proposal and giving them a purchase order for their proposal.

So I mean, I I think there's widespread support for doing this sort of thing.

That I think majority of folks would love for us to explore the opportunity to create a marina uh in our city, downtown, wherever.

I just don't think this is the right way to do it.

I mean, a feasibility study shouldn't certainly should be done.

It's just let's do a contract for it instead of just issuing a PO Anyone else, Madam Clerk.

Mr.

President.

If administration could share, this talks about uh annual related to the cloud protection um in terms of storage, and I just want to know what's the extent of that.

Is it just for certain type of or is it you know comprehensive for all of our storage?

See Scott back there's question about software or yes, sir.

Okay, this contract's like all of our storage.

Yes.

The laser fish that we implemented that in this past year, and absolutely it's an enterprise-wide uh right now it's focused on about four or five departments, uh archives being one of those.

Um so we're we're we're kind of phasing them in coming off of our old system and getting the records in.

But it is cloud-based, it is a hosted system, it's also sieges compliant, so we can store court records, police records.

So am I answering your question?

You are so there, so this only represents four to five departments right now, right now.

It and there was an immediate need because those departments were already using a uh a record manager, a cloud system, but uh it was really um we needed to get them more on enterprise, has a lot more features where archives can do uh different policies, you know, for the retention on the documents, make sure we're in compliance with state laws and so forth, whereas we couldn't really do that with the old system.

Okay, and that's that's great that we are you know moving forward and improving our technology, but my question goes back to what councilman reynolds um shared last week.

So if we're doing this with a purchase order, I guess my concern you you talked about, you know, you would think that there would be an agreement that would lay out to ensure that we are have certain protocols in our to adhere to.

So I guess my question, my follow-up question would be this manner, how are you ensuring that those requirements are that they're adhering to that and they've agreed to that?
