The City of Lake Oswego’s network connects 26 different facilities and parks. For the past several weeks, there have been a number of changes happening to that connectivity:

• The Water Treatment Admin Facility is moving to a new building on their campus
• The police evidence building moved from the Public Works campus to an off-site facility in order to facilitate the construction and renovation of that campus
• The network at Luscher Farm became unreliable when the bandwidth needs went up and the leafy trees in between the golf center and the farm started blocking the signal, so we repositioned and reconfigured the transmitter from golf to Hazalia Field.
• Were also moving out the LO Tigard Water Partnership team from the Yakima building to the new Water Treatment Admin building in July and also moving their network connection to the Parks Maintenance facility in Foothills which will save the City about $2000 a year in connection costs at the same time we improve their connectivity.

As we look to the future, plans for the new Police/LOCOM Community Center are in the works, and we’ll take advantage of that to consolidate the LOCOM server room with the Main City server room that will result in significant savings in energy costs and efficiencies.
