The IT department is also talking with LOGIS regarding receipt printing solutions that don't involve the old dot - matrix style printers we're currently fitted with. These new solutions would likely use hardware we currently own, so as to eliminate the need to purchase more equipment. • Attended the LOGIS IT Management meeting to determine the stage of the Advanced Authentication approval process. LOGIS is currently in talks with the BCA and FBI and addressing concerns they may have regarding which authentication method would work for all parties. They hope to reach a decision by our April meeting. Parks • Staff is organizing for the installation of two large windows (new) for the south side of the Park Center Building at Central Park.

On January 30 a Ramsey resident reported the theft of a utility trailer from his yard. The complainant had not seen the trailer for awhile but thought the theft occurred sometime in the past week. The following day, the complainants wife contacted the police department to report the trailer was "for sale" on Craig's List. Pictures of the trailer were provided to investigators by the person selling the trailer. The pictures were shown to the complainant and he determined that the trailer was not his. On February 1 the complainant contacted the police department and reported he had located his trailer. He indicated that he had a "senior moment" and forgot that he used his trailer early this winter to haul insulation to a rental property he owned. The trailer was right where he left it. Another case cleared by the Ramsey Police Department.
