We've since rolled back to the original servers to do more testing. • Completed the creation of a Police Department imaged PC (many thanks to Captain Katers for his help and diligence). This will allow the coming computer setups in PD to be done much quicker than before, which in turn reduces staff downtime. It will also allow us to repair hardware failures and potential virus attacks in minutes as opposed to hours. Four PD computers are scheduled on being replaced by the end of February. • Set up a new scanner for Crime Prevention, and three new printers for the Public Works Utilities and Street departments. Parks • With frequent snow events, Parks Staff has been `cycling' between snow removal on streets, cul -de -sacs, trails, sidewalks and rinks. One opportunity to flood the rinks so far this week. • Department of Corrections crew assisted with snow removal at Central Park's rinks and the balance of the day was spend removing snow off the two largest, and well traversed boardwalks at Sweet Bay Ridge and Lake Itasca. • (An early sign of Spring ?)
