to assist resident’s movements and will issue residents along the route with two resident
parking passes, resident parking will be allowed at the former Chester Brynes property
and will be clearly marked to differentiate from the public parking as well as have a lot
attendant.
The Board expressed their thanks for the Chambers efforts to continue to communicate
with residents about this event and look forward to the post-event report.
2. Consider request from Burlington Mayor Hefty regarding support of “Class B” liquor
licensing change
The Board directed staff to support Mayor Hefty’s petition and draft a resolution in favor
of this change at the state level.
3. Consider multi-factor authentication project to be taken from reserves for future IT
projects
Administrator Suhm confirmed that the product to be used is Duo. The impact of this
change will be minimum to staff as they already are required to use this type of access for
many processes. If fobs are needed the cost is $20 each.
Motion by Trustee Alexander, second by Trustee Smalley, to approve contracting with
DigiCorp for the MFA project using funds from Future IT Projects up to $11,000. Motion
carried.
4. Consider proposal for Polimorphic Constituent Relationship Management Software
Administrator Suhm and President Johnson discussed the capabilities of the proposed
software and ways that it could be integrated into Village processes such as better ways
to track interactions with residents to provide consistent responses, tracking permits and
allowing the applicant to see where in the process the application is, staff may have more
data driven reporting options and the product seems very user friendly and customizable.
Administrator Suhm shared the experience of the Village of Bayside who is working with
the system and has had a very favorable experience and is willing to collaborate with us.
Discussion included the rate offered and the termination process, the ease of importing
data and that should the association be terminated the data is easily exported back to the
Village, concerns with working with such a young company were offset by both
Administrator Suhm and President Johnson having considered other options that proved
to be too large and/or cumbersome for our needs while Polimorphic offered beneficial
pricing and the willingness and ability to customize the product to fit our needs.
Motion by Trustee Alexander, second by Trustee Smalley, to authorize staff to implement
the Polimorphic software continent upon staff and the village attorney’s approval of the
agreement. Motion carried.
