Title
Renewal for the Code Red System - Expenditure Approval
History
The Code Red Emergency Notification System has been in use by the Village now for two 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 over 153,000 calls using the system.
Additional blocks of time for the system are purchased in 20,000 minute increments for $6,000. Staff is recommending the purchase of three additional blocks of time based on historical usage. Any unused minutes from this purchase will be rolled over to next year and are not lost.
H.T.E is an authorized reseller of the Code Red system, and offers a discount not available to the Village directly from Code Red.

Financial Impact
A total of $22,000 is budgeted for 60,000 additional minutes plus the annual renewal fee.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve renewal of the Code Red Emergency Notification System including 60,000 minutes from H.T.E. at a cost not to exceed $22,000.
