Council unanimously adopts CivicPlus mass-notification system, accepts emergency clause
Summary
Lincoln Heights Village Council unanimously approved Resolution 2025-R-96 to authorize a contract with CivicPlus for a mass-notification and automated call system and accepted the emergency clause in a single meeting, approving suspension of rules and passage by a 7–0 vote.
The Lincoln Heights Village Council unanimously approved Resolution 2025-R-96 on Dec. 8, authorizing the village manager to enter into an agreement with CivicPlus for a mass-notification and automated calling system.
Clerk Lisa Randolph read the title into the record: "Resolution authorizing the village manager to enter into agreement with Civic Plus for a mass notification and automated call system." Council moved to suspend the rules, voted to pass the resolution and accepted the emergency clause; each step passed by a 7–0 recorded vote.
Council members said the system will improve the village's ability to notify residents quickly about emergencies and community events. The vote followed a motion to suspend the rules and a motion for passage; the clerk recorded seven aye votes at each step. Council did not discuss contract terms, costs or vendor implementation timelines at length during the meeting; those details will be coordinated by the village manager's office in follow-up work.
The passage of the resolution establishes authorization for the manager to negotiate and execute the contract; implementation details and budgetary impacts were not specified in the meeting record.
