INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
Steven J. Alexander, City Manager
Agenda Item NO.:~ August 18, 2015
A Resolution relating to budget; authorizing a transfer of $3,500 from City
Clerk Contingency, to City Clerk Contractual account.
Granicus completed an audit of the City's current recording and
transmission equipment at the request of the City, due to notifications of
certain Google Chrome changes.
Starting in September, Chrome users will not be able to see any Windows
Media encoded content, which will immediately affect all Chrome users;
Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc. will continue to work. After reviewing the
City's account, Granicus noticed that the City's Dell encoder is in fact a
device that will be affected by the Google Chrome changes.
As per the Federal Government's Digital Analytics Program (DAP), Google
Chrome is the most popular web browser with 34.7 percent of all internet
users. Below please find a breakdown:
Chrome 34.7% 11.0% 3.3% 2.3% • Chrome
Internet Explorer 28.3% Mlnternet Explorer
Safari 20.3% • Safari
Firefox 11.0% • Firefox
Android Browser 3.3% II Android Browser
Other 2.3% 28.3% • Other
Based on the above, Granicus is recommending, in an effort to provide
users with a perfectly seamless user experience, upgrading the City's
existing encoder. Furthermore, considering the current encoder has been
in service, at the City, for over four years it would be beneficial to eliminate
the concern of warranty expiration.
Transfer Amount: $3,500
Transfer From: Account number 001-1200-512-9920 City Clerk Contingency, with a current
balance of $5,000.
Transfer To: Account number 001-1200-512-3450, City Clerk Contractual, with a current
