Answering BillMc’s Scanner Concerns
HucksOnline asked City Clerk Susan Weathers to detail her interaction with RecallCDA/OpenCDA.com rep Bill McCrory re: the scanning machine that will handle recall petitions. She reports: "Mr. McCrory questioned if the scanner has a hard drive and after some discussion I asked why that would be of significance (as I'm thinking what different does it make if it is stored on a hard drive or not since the scanned documents will immediately be downloaded to a disc and the discs made will immediately be handed to Mr. Orzell, myself, and the other invited observers of the process), he commented that it is significant. After Mr. McCrory, left the City's IT team researched the issue and confirmed that it does have a hard drive BUT you have to manually save a document to it, it does not automatically save all scanned documents. As a precaution the IT team has disabled this feature of the copier until after the petitions have been scanned."
Question: Anyone photograph the inspection of the scanner machine?
