North Adams Council Holding Public Nuisance Hearing
 A building at 160 Eagle St. will be the subject of a public hearing on Tuesday prior to the regular council meeting. |
The residential structure owned by Michael Hernandez is not occupied and is in poor condition.
In the regular meeting to follow the public hearing, Police Officers Brad Vivori, Trevor Manning and Joshua Zustra will be sworn in, as will reserve Officers Jonathan Beaudreau and Nicholas Richards, and reserve firefighters Collin Boucher, Casey Cook, Brad Sacco and Tyler Bolte. The mayor has made a practice of publicly swearing in public safety personnel either officially or ceremonially at City Council meetings.
Also on the agenda is a request to borrow up to $160,000 for technology upgrades, including $78,000 for a new voice over information protocol system for City Hall and Public Safety facilities. The upgrade will allow for caller ID, conferencing, message management, voicemail for all employees and other abilities. According to the mayor's office, the savings will be about $1,200 a month.
Covered in the $160,000 is the replacement of 34 outdated Dell work stations ($20,805); disaster recovery, planning and backup for all IT ($39,911); and faxing over IP, which will allow faxing from every work station ($11,278).
