Dylan Hansen, the Village’s IT Network Administrator, publicly revealed during last evening’s Village Council Work Session that he is currently building out a technology platform that will support Village-wide WIFI and the use of CCTV cameras in the Central Business District. Hansen also reviewed several of his completed projects, including implementation of increased network security, improved spam filtering, and installation of on-site data servers.
Councilwoman Kim Ringler-Shagin praised Hansen for his efforts, but harshly chastised him for mentioning the possible use of CCTV cameras since she and other Council members have not yet discussed the merits of such an undertaking. Deputy Mayor Betty G. Wiest also thanked Hansen for his efforts in bringing the Village into the 21st Century from a technological standpoint.
Hansen has been employed by the Village since November of 2005. This was his first formal presentation in front of Council members.
>I thought after he went thru the train tunnel he was going to be on the west side of r’wood. I get it…..we’re not in kansas anymore.
>More tax dollars awasting…
>does this explain the appearance of cameras at the intersection of vanemberg and e glen that I noticed the other day for the first time……
>Didn’t the BOE just 18 months ago go forward with a 2 million dollar upgrade with Verizon. And now we are going to have WiFi.
What a waste. Your tax dollars hard at work employing friends and cronies.
Only in Ridgewood, the home to a one party state.
>One of the problems with these surveillance cameras is that many clips are showing up on placees like “You Tube”. There are many cases where prison surveillance cameras/gas station/convenience store films are showing up. People will start showing anything that might be embarrassing for whatever their personal motives are – politics/revenge/embarrassment or just sheer boredom. Watch out – don”t take your secretary (male or female) out to dinner in the central business district. It could cost you a lot more than the price of dinner.
