Finance Committee - 06/05/2019 Page 5
Essentially what we are trying to do right now is ensure that we don’t have a lapse in service in the event that
the State contract doesn’t work. But we are very confident that our partnership with the State will enable us to
leverage their ONSOLVE platform with no real change in service for any of our public safety, public health or
other government departments for the type of service that they provide through Code Red currently.
Mayor Donchess
So what you are saying is this is only Plan B which you want to be approved as the Plan B in case the State
system does not materialize?
Mr. Kates
Yes.
Mayor Donchess
Is it the July 1* that it would be operative?
Mr. Kates
Yeah so July 1* is the date that we would look to have the State system implemented. Currently our office is
working with the different departments that currently have credentials on the Code Red System to ensure that
they have access on the State system. We will do some testing over the next few weeks to ensure that it has
all the same functionality that we currently have with the goal by July 1*' to have completely transititioned over
to the State system.
Alderman Klee
When you say that we would be leveraging the State and that this contract would go away, what would the cost
be from the State or would there be a cost?
Mr. Kates
There would be zero cost.
Alderman Klee
There would be zero cost, so this $22,000.00 that you negotiated down would go away.
Mr. Kates
No longer exist.
Alderman Klee
Good, thank you.
