1. HART DEMO --
The Clerk’s committee is planning to review a demonstration of the HART proposal 9:00 a.m., Wednesday March 15th. It is our understanding that the public will be permitted to observe. See AGENDA
There are BIG questions about whether the demo is going to be a scripted, slick marketing presentation, conducted by HART, or an evaluation, conducted by Boulder County election workers and voters.
Boulder County voters should be informed that they are invited to attend and observe this demonstration.
2. KEY QUESTIONS --
CAMBER submitted a letter to the committee yesterday, and has had no acknowledgement so far.
NOTE: We are asking questions about (a) the beneficiaries of the RFP, (b) the committee members, and (c) the demonstration.
It is possible that the County has no idea of how many people it is trying to serve with the proposed equipment. How otherwise to know how many units would be needed?
It is possible that some committee members may not be eligible Boulder County voters. Since Boulder County’s top talent was excluded from the committee, does it make sense that outsiders would be making this evaluation?
It is possible that the committee will not really evaluate the equipment, instead watching a scripted presentation where nothing can go wrong. Shouldn’t the committee evaluate what the equipment really does, in the environment that it would be used?.
3. OPEN RECORDS --
CAMBER submitted a March 9th Colorado Open Records Request.
We have not yet received a response, and the committee’s time is almost gone. We heard of a March 22 deadline..
Two of the committee meetings have already happened and the demo is set for tomorrow.
Because we don’t have committee member contact information, we must rely on second hand accounts for our data, and we had to send our March 13th letter to the committee via Josh Liss.
