<br />Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting January 17,2008 <br /> <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida <br /> <br />12B. Discussion/Presentation on the Disaster Recovery Phase I Implementation. <br /> <br />Action: Information Technology Director Edel Fonseca reported and presented a power <br />point of the implementation of Phase I of Disaster Recovery. <br /> <br />Public Speakers: none <br /> <br />Information Technology Director Fonseca noted that Phase I was started on December 17 <br />and completed on December 21, 2007, and it has given us the benefits of reduced space <br />requirements for our data centers, where we reduced the energy requirements for the data <br />center and air conditioning to keep the data center cool. He said that it was reduced by 30% <br />because we have virtualized the environment by taking 20 physical servers that were <br />performing different tasks, and consolidating the environments to three (3) servers that are <br />now hosting those 20 physical servers which reduces the cost of energy, keeping the systems <br />cool. He said that he has asked Facility Maintenance Supervisor Victor Mercedes to give <br />him a tally of how much the data center has reduced in energy savings, and then in April <br />when he reports on Phase II, which is the Police Department, we will have numbers on how <br />much we are really saving for this project. He said that we now have benefits of quick <br />recovery with minimum data loss. He said that our systems are now in one small backup <br />tape, and with this tape we can move the environment wherever we need to if we had to <br />move our systems due to a hurricane, etc., and within three (3) hours we can have the <br />environment back up and running. <br /> <br />12C. Discussion regarding Traffic Control and Directional Sign age throughout the City. <br /> <br />Action: Assistant City Manager/Services Vera said he would like to start looking at <br />changing the street signs to make it all conformed for a better look of the City, and he <br />showed pictures of different styles of signs, and noted that these signs were done by the same <br />people that did our monument signs. Assistant City Manager Vera asked for direction from <br />the Commission so he can bring back quotes on the cost, and a mock-up so the Commission <br />can see what it would look like. <br /> <br />Public Speakers: none <br /> <br />Mayor Edelcup asked if we can put our logo on the signs, and Assistant City Manager Vera <br />said yes, we can do the seal or the wave, and Mayor EdeIcup said the wave would be more <br />appropriate. It was the consensus ofthe Commission to go forward with the first photograph <br />with the City's Wave Logo. Vice Mayor Thaler asked if these are lighted signs, and Mr. <br />Vera said no, and Mayor Edelcup said the only signs we planned for lighting are the ones on <br />Collins A venue in the intersections, these are for the interior sections, and Mr. Vera said that <br />is correct. Commissioner Goodman said that the yellow and black signs would be more <br />obvious than the white and black signs, and Mayor EdeIcup said the directional signs will <br />have to be yellow, and agreed that we should use the yellow and black vs. the white and <br />black. Vice Mayor Thaler said a good part of Broward County now has a different color <br />yellow, he doesn't know if that is becoming standard, and Assistant City Manager Vera said <br />he would check that out. Assistant City Manager Vera asked if they wanted the sign with the <br />addresses at the top of the sign and the Commission said yes. He will come back with a cost <br />per sign and a tally of the cost for all the signs to be changed. <br /> <br />16 <br />
