meetings held at City Hall will be via gotomeeting only and posted to youtube after.

dispatch will consist of 2 servers and 3 virtual workstations. First part of installation took place the
week of Christmas.

Fire, SO and County fire all on new simulcast system. PD is running full encrypted. Reports are
good so far. Solar/generator installed at Capitan, Yea we beat the snow but I do not think we will
be so lucky with microwave. Still waiting on Hagerman tower.

delaying equipment.
