Council approves $450 tablet purchase for GIS after device failure
Summary
Council approved replacing a failing Android tablet used for GIS location work and authorized signing the vendor service paperwork; the quoted replacement cost was $450.
Council members approved the purchase of an Android tablet and protective case for $450 after the town's GIS field tablet failed, officials said.
"To replace the new one is $450," Ryan said when describing vendor options after the device stopped charging and displayed moisture errors. Chair moved to purchase the tablet, a second was recorded, and the motion passed by voice vote. Council members directed staff to sign the service paperwork so the vendor could replace the unit and maintain mapping capability in the field.
Ryan said the tablet is necessary to "pinpoint the locations" in the field and that attempts to use other devices (an iPad) were unsuccessful; the town will process the vendor documentation and complete the purchase.
