Title
Renewal for the Code Red Emergency Notification System - Expenditure Approval
History
The Code Red Emergency Notification System has been in use by the Village now for five years. The system has been activated on numerous occasions to notify the public of critical watering information and has also been used by the police department for neighborhood meeting notifications. To date the Village has placed approximately 285,800 calls using the system.
The annual renewal of the system is $10,000 and includes one block of 20,000 minutes. SunGard Public Sector is an authorized reseller of the Code Red system and provides the village with discounted pricing not previously available directly from Code Red. Should the village’s relationship with SunGard Public Sector change at anytime in the future, the Emergency Communications Network, Inc. will continue to honor the discounted pricing.
On August 2, 2010, this item was reviewed and approved by the Finance Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
There is $10,000 in the current fiscal year budget for this expenditure.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the renewal of the Code Red Emergency Notification System including a total of 20,000 minutes from SunGard Public Sector at a cost not to exceed $10,000.
