high rise structure or a multi-level building, have we conquered the GPS to read height to know what floor the
officer may be operating on? Or we haven't got to the GPS point.
Deputy Rourke
| haven’t seen that yet.
Alderman O’Brien
Yeah it is a technology | wish they would conquer because as you can appreciate firefighters go to multi floors,
police officers go to multi floors. It would be enhanced for the safety if we could.
Deputy Rourke
Sure, that’s a great question.
Alderman O’Brien
... track that. OK. Thank you Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Donchess
Alderwoman Kelly.
Alderwoman Kelly
Thank you. | am getting used to the Chamber is that better? | have a couple of questions. So you were talking
about previous police department that had a number of employees actually handling this system. Are we
planning on having an employee that would handle this as well?
Deputy Rourke
Not right now. We are going to have one of our officers handle it for the first year and see how that goes.
Alderwoman Kelly
OK if | could follow up? The contract, does it include maintenance, what happens if a camera goes down?
Deputy Rourke
They will replace it for free, full warranty.
Alderwoman Kelly
How quickly?
Deputy Rourke
| think what they do is they give you a few extra ones so you always have some in stock. They are pretty easy
to deal with so | would assume they replace it immediately.
Alderwoman Kelly
OK a few more questions? And this might be in the paperwork and | apologize | was a little bit late. But the
phased 6 year, is that a phased roll out like only so many people will get it or is ita phased payment approach?
