Regular Council Meeting Minutes 6-21-10 Page 7 . Motion to authorize ezpenditure in the amount of $53,269.00 to B&C Communications for the purchase of a Zetron 911 Phone System. Mr. Saponaro, seconded by Mrs. Mills, made a motion to authorize expenditure in the amount of $53,269.00 to B&C Communications for the purchase of a Zetron 911 Phone System. Council President Buckholtz stated this was discussed at Caucus. Is there an update? Chief Deazden replied this will replace the AT&T Positron system which is no longer being manufactured. They still have parts to repair. Short-term it would satisfy us, but we are going to have to replace it anyhow. The cost to move the Positron down makes it a disadvanta.ge. We might as well move into the Zetron system now and use it for many years to come. Dr. Parker asked if there is any possibility we might sell the old system. Council President Buckholtz suggested we put it on e-Bay. Chief Dearden does not think there is much value to it. Mr. Metzung sta.ted that Reverse 911 was brought up at Citizen's Advisory. Chief Dearden replied that is a software system. Different corporations sell them. We have looked at them in the past. They aze preriy cost-prohibitive. We discussed this in Finance earlier. It boils down to what specific programs we want Reverse 911 to commit to. Relatively speaking we have many of the capabilities of a Reverse 911 system through A Child Is Missing Organization which we signed on to seven or eight years ago. That is free to us. It does the same thing as Reverse 911 as far as message delivery system in cases of children missing, elderly missing or mentally disabled missing. Outside of those services, the only items that a Reverse 911 delivery will give you is weather-related type messages or if you want to go into general type messages, Council would have to weigh whether the benefit of those types of inessages are worth the cost of a Reverse 911 system. Mrs. Mills we do have the capacity on the radio (1640) that it is still available. Roll Call: AYES: All ? Motion Carried NAYS: None ' Expenditure Approved .
