ISSUES - From Director of Emergency Management:
Meteorologics Weather Service
|
Gen. Williams stated that last year we started looking at bringing more capability and |
|
flexibility for weather information to Gahanna; looked at Meterologics; basically they |
|
are the only firm that provides this type of service; we are coming into spring severe |
|
weather; they have offered us a 30 day trial; we would have it installed in the police |
|
department; the understanding is if we don't like after the 30 days they will take it out; if |
|
we do like it then we would enter into a contract; they have recommended a 3 year |
|
contract because it saves us $400 in connection fees; someone could monitor this |
|
system 24 hours a day; has the capability for queries as opposed to current system; |
|
would like to proceed with 30 day trial period; would have to come back and |
|
recommend; this would require a supplemental. Council had several questions and |
|
asked Gen. Williams to come back with clarification as to when the contract would |
|
begin. |
|
RECOMMENDATION: Carry over to Next Committee |
