Craig,
A new phone system was one of the options for cost
savings that was discussed at the School Board meeting last night. Having
read your WOD comments prior to the meeting, I asked about the possibility of
working with other government entities on a new system in order to save
costs/maintenance.
Jeff Seeley and Kevin Flies said that it may be a
possibility and they will look into it.

Subject: [Winona] phone system --
cooperation among local governments
There has been an effort in recent years to look
at ways local governments might do things together to create
efficiencies. This last week I saw an article in the paper that
indicated the City of Winona needs to upgrade their telephone system.
This seems like an opportunity to actually combine forces and create
efficiencies. I am not a telephone or technology expert. I just
thought I'd throw out the idea that the local elected officials in the City,
County and School District might take this opportunity to see if cost sharing
on one large, good phone system and it's on-going administration and
maintenance might not save money in the long run.
What do people think?
