ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Siegel
| had a question as to whether or not the CodeRED is actually useful in the day in age that we are in now
where we have a variety of devices such that technology seems to exceed the requirements that we have for
this as little as two or three years ago. | am getting alerts on my iPhone well in advance of a CodeRED alerts.
| see the advantage of a notification system but | wonder if it’s something that doesn’t already sort of exist by
way of social networking and other constructs.
Mayor Donchess
| can give a general answer but maybe it would be worthwhile to have Mr. Kates come in and discuss the pros
and cons. | think some people don’t have those devices and therefore there are these phone notifications. |
don’t think there is any particular rush on this, do you Mr. Kooken?
Mr. Kooken
No, | don’t think so.
