Continued from page 23arrived at by the municipality’stechnology contact, who assessed
the value as a reasonable used cost
for the tablets.
“[The Galaxys] weren’t
responsive enough for our needs,”
Ginn said, “but for other purposes
they’re fine.”
Ginn said thus far one councillor,
Alison Lobb, has expressed interest
in purchasing her Galaxy. At the
Nov. 5 meeting she said she would be giving the tablet to hergrandson.
Ginn said the Galaxys had proven
to be “troublesome” but that
confusion over the tablets needing to
be replaced, but then being
purchased by councillors was a “fair
comment”.
He said that if the tablets were to
be sold to someone other than the
councillor who has been using it
for the past year, there would alsobe added data removal costsassociated.
Ginn said the tablets would have
included personal data, such as e-
mails, that would have to be
professionally wiped from
the Galaxys before selling them
to a third party, which would be
another cost incurred by the
municipality.
“We would have to bring someone
in to wipe the memory and that’s anadded cost,” Ginn said.Ginn said that if the Galaxys are
purchased by REACH, they could be
helpful to students, especially those
who come for short courses that only
last a few weeks.
He said the tablets could be the
property of REACH, staying with
the school, but being used by the
students while they attend classes in
Clinton.
Any remaining tablets that are notpurchased by councillors, and thenstaff, will be offered to members of
the public if an agreement with
REACH is not inked.
To express interest in one of the
Samsung Galaxys for the asking
price of $175 (if there are any
remaining) call Deputy-Clerk
Florence Stalenhoef at the municipal
office at 519-482-3997, extension
1224.
