Goforth Technologies of Indio installed a system that is not visible from EI Paseo and is designed to expand to meet the future needs of the City. A dual band gateway was installed at The Gardens. Staff is pleased to report that the wireless connection became operational on November 3, 2008, completing the first phase of the project. The next phase is to implement the wireless system from the Gardens outward as agreements are negotiated and finalized with additional property owners, and is expected to take six to twelve months to complete. Part of this process is to incorporate liability and usage of rooftops into the agreement, and to achieve an agreement that is acceptable to all parties. Information regarding the type of equipment used is included in the attached proposal. It is expected that as the system expands, Goforth Technologies will continue to provide the equipment and install as appropriate. Submitted by: Approved by: �� aul S.
