Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the renewal of agreements with Emergency Communications Network LLC to purchase access to and use of their communications system services for rapid communication of information to city staff and members of the general public on an as-needed basis and to provide emergency weather notifications in the weather emergencies, all targeted at the population that needs to receive such notices.
In 2013, the City entered into agreements for these services for a term of approximately 6 months on a trial basis and in 2014 and 2015 the agreement was renewed. In the opinion of staff the services have been valuable to the City as well as to the citizens in general and so would recommend the extension of the agreements.
The amendment to the Weather Warning Services agreement is for the purpose of clarifying the cost of these services for the extension period would be $10,000.
