Public safety committee backs multiyear Thomson Reuters investigative-services contract for DA
Summary
The public safety committee moved a multiyear agreement with Thomson Reuters for the district attorney’s online investigative services (monthly charge cited as $463.40); county officials said multiyear pricing should reduce monthly costs.
The Schenectady County Committee on Public Safety reported to the legislative floor a resolution authorizing a multiyear agreement with Thomson Reuters for online investigative services used by the District Attorney's Office.
Committee materials and the DA’s justification letter were referenced in the packet. Committee members cited a monthly charge of $463.40 for the subscription and County staff said entering a multiyear contract could reduce the county’s monthly cost. District Attorney Robert Carney was cited in packet materials and committee comments indicated the multiyear arrangement was intended to save money on recurring investigative-service fees. One committee member noted a county user (identified in the transcript as Jenna Seating) uses the service daily.
A motion to report the resolution to the full legislature was made and approved by voice vote.
The county packet contains the DA’s justification letter and contract details; the committee transcript referred to the vendor as "Thompson Reuters," which has been standardized to the vendor's correct name, Thomson Reuters, in this report.
